Namma Bangaluru , where are we heading ????

I still remember playing "kuntebille" on the road ..
I can still hear the birds chirping , I can see the sparrows nest on the nearby tree .
But is it becoming the thing of past which i just experienced 10 years back when i was a primary school kid? Call me a eavesdropper or a great listner i hear the conversation of people around me when i go out .
just listing 3 out of those .

one. A group of primary kids talking when i was leaving for office , a kid says that his mother has got him an x-box and others admiring him with all fantasy and mocking a studious looking child . my thoughts just trailed back to my primary days where the emphasis was on studies and awe was for the studious one's and the sports stars who actually played physical games like kabaddi ko-ko et al.

two.. Two school girls probably in their high school seriously discussing about the glam clothes and the cool hangouts and malls , which took me to my highschool days when we hardly cared about our clothes and loved discussing shows on discovery channel and animal planet and books!! (oh my god those countless books read during highschool ), and that happiness to go out once a month on saturdays to a near by samosa shop and softee ice cream.... are we forgetting something now ?

three... There were three girls talking in the bus in which i was commuting and one girl was telling the rest as to how lucky she was to have a guy considered the college hunk and telling that she would join a call center and is ready to run away with the guy, but me just having finished 12th 6-7 years back was dumbstruck because i remember saying the same words that i was very lucky but that was because of the scholar ship and the cet rank to get into the best vtu engineering college in karnataka and we were discussing about joining some research company after that and were considering ourselves very lucky to be in the city with educational excellence with par excellent institutes like iisc and iim-b .

These things put me in complete uneasiness , isnt this the right time we think about where are we heading ?
In the bustling crowd have we lost ourselves trying to ape someone ?
Where are those teachers who always made sure we were on the right track and taught morals and human values along with curriculum.

And i dont even want to comment about the prices, with barrista and coffee day replacing shanti sagar and annapurna coffee.

Is it not the right time we help the next gen to concentrate on things which actually helps in ones develpment , to encourage young one's to read or play physical games in free time (i was really moved by Wall E) .

Isnt this the right time to concentrating on higher education and bring out the complete potential and bring out patents and journals than being satisfied with the paycheques from BPO or service companies.

I hope we dont lose the last bit of innocence and simplicity left among us and try to identify where we went wrong and get back the lost glory.
