Caught somewhere...inbetween

....thats how I would visualise my generation...
was blog hopping and found this interesting note about being proud of the generation we are from...couldn't agree better...

Yes, we (as in the current 25-35 year olds) are somewhere in between...we are not as othrodox or "playing it safe" generation that is a decade older...and neither are we irresponsible and immature generation that is a decade younger...

So many good and changing attitudes to our credit...maybe this is taking it a bit too far...but some things I've observed in common with most of my friends in this age group are...

We tend to enjoy our lives...yeah we (atleast most of them) also look at investing money,savings etc but it is not very uncommon to go on vacations, take a break, travel and have a good outing..

We tend to earn more and again most of us either donate or have an urge to donate....

Most of us tend to come from middle-class to higher middle class families (that are not affluently rich) and hence appreciate the value of money (and spending it right) and have values (whatever they are!)

And those who have kids (again most of them) ensure that they spend lavishly on their kids, see that they dont lack anything but still think twice about enrolling them in "International Schools"
Its the scare of kids having a totally different mind-set and values...

We don't cringe to eat at Dhabas, road-side pani puris, we still love them and have the "enthu" still within us to stop a car beside a road-side shop and enjoy a bite

How much ever we might be busy and all that, we still believe in "movies" being the number one source of entertainment!

And somehow we are more open with our life partner and show that. That equality is surely here to stay, we share the work load at home...but then when parents or in-laws are visiting, we get very "insecure" about the whole "equality theory" :)

Most importantly, I think we will always be young at heart, no longer old and aunt-types if you are 30+

I guess everyone has something to brag about!!

But somewhere some things have to change, we need to become more friendly, more open, have more time for friends. We are almost there......!!

And Thanks a bunch Vidhya, for that "rocking girl blogger", felt like having won an "essay writing/oration" competition like in the good old school days!!
