CHANGE – and the best way is to ADAPT

When I was in school my teacher always taught us one thing: The constant thing in Life is CHANGE and its best if you go with the flow or else you will not be happy. If you want to imply the lifestyle that you were bought up in it’s not going to work and do no good to anyone. Things have changed, changed drastically.

My little brother almost spends 6 hours of his time on the computer and the rest 2 are for watching the idiot box—oops Television. So 8 hours of his life are dedicated with enthusiasm and zeal in the virtual world. Every half an hour he sees the update if his farm had grown the seeds and is it time for him to sell. He is just 7 years  and if he is so interested in this game he should actually pursue his carrier on trading of commodities. But in the next ten minutes I realize he loves everything from the animals in the zoo on the Tap zoo game and angry birds to GTA and other online games.

And it’s highly impossible to put a time check on the kids especially on their holidays. And on his request I was ready to get him a PSP & Nintendo which my parents strongly disagreed. As I was the best sister I had to fulfill their wishes and I thought if they don’t play now, when will they play? I got it in one condition that they play some outdoor activities like we did when we were kids. If a comparision is done with this years kids and 10 years back there is so much change. They are way too smart intellectually and the way they speak and the things they talk about is beyond ones imagination at times. How much creative I can get , but I fail to understand what more is left for the upcoming toddlers to be like.

It went on for a month but again they went with their 8 hour in front of desktop. Infact the time increased day by day. I think this is a problem with each kid around. Kids have forgotten what hide and seek is, Cycling and running around is. It’s sad to see this generation grow this way and see the extinction of outdoor activities.
