To be very frank this feeling came up while I was watching Dev D…I was mesmerized for sometime while watching the movie and it hit me strong when I realized I was having an O with the word called Change…it is a powerful feeling and it can reverberate you and make you feel happy at the same time. When I drilled deep down to find out the reason for my sudden happiness with life even when the life was having nothing much in store for me from quite some time..(;))..the simple answer which came up rested actually was...“the time” in which I am living…the current era…the everyday revolution around us which, believe me, is really awesome!!!
Don’t you also feel the same that the times are changing around us and they are changing so quickly? I mean it’s ecstatic that the time in which we were born, the time in which we are living and the time when we will die would be so very different…they will not be years but literally be ages apart…I feel that this is the time when the world is changing the fastest and we are the only ones who are witnessing this sweeping change.
I know I might not be making much sense but this is a feeling which is reely very tough to put into words, but here I would try and give my best shot in portraying the same emotions so that I cud atleast make myself clear…
Look, the best thing is that, when we were born during early eighties, the world was in shambles, India was nowhere, our economy was small, peoples' mind were not as thirsty, we were all so slow, we were restrained, we were far less emotive, we generally had scooters, the kids were so different or duffers, technology was least around us, people were not even creative, they had a lanky and dull attitude towards life, the quest for life was missing, there were no reality shows, no PDAs, no IT companies, no experimental movies, no malls and multiplexes, no O(b/s)amas, no MTVs and above all no realtime competitiveness...
But, today is so different, today’s youth is miraculous, we are damn fucking 'change agents', and over and above that, we are changing lives everywhere around us…youth is always unsatisfied, they are creative, they have a quest for experimentation, they have the 'never say die' attitude, they are lovely, they are insane, they are effervescent, they are low waisted/pierced/tattooed/fucked-up n yet chilled n yet ready for having more of it, they are very bad, they are very good, they want more and more, they are selfish too, but they want to have a different life everyday and that is what is the characteristic change which stands out in current times from the past... We are changing every moment and the reason is that we are damn experimentalists, no nonsense weirdos waiting for a new world order. We try different things everyday n we learn from our new mistakes everyday.
Post our generation, I am not saying that change won’t happen, it will happen but the amount of change happening would be minuscule…it won’t be like in this ‘epic style’. The answer to this lies in history. History goes for only a few dynamic changes and such changes happens in centuries which changes world forever. We have witnessed only three major changes in mankind. When man was an ape he wanted to change badly like today and so we became humans and then came era of kingdoms, from there again there was a long standstill and when change happened, what came was the end of kingdom and democracies were born, so, a new world order formed up and from then it’s the present age which has emerged. These are times again when maximum new things are happening, when men and women are changing, we are ones who will do all kind of good or bad experiments and then again will come another phase of adoption, another age of satisfaction, again an age of lesser reverberations, lesser competitiveness coz all that rage which is needed to change the time in which you live would have been done by us in the present tense of our lives...
A real taste of our changing times can be the kids of today, compare them with the kids of our parents (;)), don't you think that the present day kids are revolutionary, they are damn different, so hostile, so intelligent, so smart, so weird. They are the visible example of the change which we are bringing to the world. I think our grandchildren would be just like our children and so they won’t be so radical and that’s where life will settle down again, waiting for another change which might happen after a long time when the world again will be filled with the reverberations of today…
Why I was happy was only coz I am a part of this great revolutionary change which is happening around us and yeah, I feel happy coz I am at the right place at the right time. I wish the youth of today also realize ‘what’ they are going through and do something cheesy, something radical, something experimental each day so that yes, we are a part of this sexy revolution called change which comes in only sometimes and once it goes away, things change and they don’t remain the same forever.
I don't wanna by a prophesier by stating whats gonna happen in the future, all I wanna say is that I am happy to be a part of this new world orderchange. Keep experimenting, try something different everyday, do things differently coz we are living in age of CHANGE aka EGNAHC…agar is samay nahi kiya to life me kiya kya???
N hey guys don’t read this anymore…just get out of the shitholes where you might be wasting your lives at the moment and grab the taste of the above words in HIS latest creation, “GULAAL”…coz right now it’s running in a theatre near u. Or else, when your kid will ask you, “Have you watched the most revolutionary movies from the most revolutionary directors of your times?” All you would be doing is sulk and ask your kid to study and concentrate for his exams rather than having a hard-hitting mature discussion with him about life which you would have actually not even experienced.
