The first step to solve a problem is acknowledgment. A country of billion people and growing at a rate of one child per second does not want to accept sex as a normal human behavior! What an irony. I am shit scared with the way our new generation is being brought up. Total disrespect for money, values, education and discipline. This is the generation that we are counting our meteoric growth? So thats the problem. The 'wakeupindia' way of talking about any problem is also to come up with a solution. What do we do to solve it? Inculcating better reading culture, making teenagers work to earn their pocket money and counseling. Question to wakeupindia readers, can NGOs help spread this awareness? I totally agree.

I mentioned this to a friend saying this will definitely hamper the mental growth of a child, make him dependent on gadgets for every little calculation... my friend pointed out that compared to our parents' good ol' generation, don't we have far more luxuries-we manage to do well , we would not go back to the days of abacus when we have calculators- can we blame the generations after us for using advanced version of the gadgets we are so dependent on.Everything comes for a price..guess this is what technology brings with it! However, there's no excuse for smoking- creating more awareness could help. Regarding the craze for explicit tv/movies, I say we in India live in denial and refuse to acknowledge that sex is after all just a basic human tendency.A good ol' conservative middle class Indian would talk about it in the same breath as he would talk about some sin !!! Till we don't accept a problem, how do we find a solution?

But do we follow it ourselves.. Lets face it we all are hypocrites when it comes to the tabooed topics... Sex is the most tabooed topic in our country but it is the only thing which is being used to sell every other product.. whether its car, perfume...nething... First of all we need to get out of this hyporcrisy to save the children... Mothers are not comfortable telling their kids how they were born.. ofcourse one doesn't have to go to intricate details but still why do we have to tell them all sort of stories... Where would a confused kid go? He will find his means to get all answers ... Now with the concept of nuclear families;both parents working.. no time to spend with kids.. hence to compensate they buy all sort of expensive items...Parents have money and the GUILT and kids have exposure.The result....coffees at coffee shops, high end gadgets... Sometimes i wish to go back to the old ways of living. where friends and families had the time to spend with each other.. when books and newspapers were the only means of exposure... "KOI LAUTA DE WOH BEETE HUY DEEN....." When i look at kids today sometimes i wonder where are we going..we keep talking about moral policing.. But do we follow it ourselves..

I have seen teen-agers spending hard earned money in cafe coffee days on smoke and coffee. Some sense of responsibility and right culture needs to be inculcated in the tomorrow's generation. Even those high school folks who work in BPOs, they need to understand that it can not be a long term career. Just because they start getting fat salaries just at the age of 17-18, the money can not be spent on pubs, booze, condoms and movies. Put the things in perspective and be more aware about the future and career. I am not sure if I feel so strong about this issue but it sure does bother me.
