These days as soon as the clock says it's 6 PM, it's time for me and Mohit( Mohit is my ex-classmate and now colleague) to leave for evening walk.This is the only thing I am sort of doing these days apart from lots of sleep, rest, marking attendance on the duty and eating. Around 15 days before, clouds forgot their way and accidently it rained here in this city of 3 Ds [for the uninformed 3Ds are Dhool(Dust),Dhunwaa(Smoke) and Dhokha(Cheating)].Well, here it's problem always, if it does not rain it's hot and sweltering, if it does their is a WWE( water water everywhere) situation.On that day, as usual me and Mohit left for our daily evening walk session, in a street near to our flat we saw kids throwing stones in the stagnating water, I requested them not to do it, but they continued and even threw a stone very near to us. We kinda cursed them and moved along. Today again there was an encore, rain, WWE, kids and stone. All those naughty and nonsense kids were from nearby houses and their was none to ask them to stop it. I just do not know Why the hell parents like this give birth and add on to the problems of a more than billion people.
During our daily evening walk session, we normally visit two parks one very near to our flat and another a bit far away, both of them falling in sector 9. Today when we were taking a round in the nearby park, a girl, around 5 years old, hit me with her cycle, I got a little bit angry and was about to scold that girl for it, but Mohit asked me to stay cool. The girl and her mother sitting nearby on some bench didn't feel any need to say sorry or anything. As we were moving along, she came from behind, crossed me and started saying "Dekh kar nahi chal sakta"...This is the way kids are behaving these days, reason is very simple no one to take care about all these things. Life has become fast and furious 5, parents do not have time, fathers busy in making money, mothers busy in gossiping, back-biting and kids busy in doing their own tings and their own way.
In our second park, there was another case of our encounter with not so good kids. There were two three groups of kids playing cricket here and there, me and Mohit because of our obsession with cricket were watching them. Suddenly, there was a quarrel in one group and a kid started beating another mercilessly, kicking him continuously with his shoes without caring for anything. Mohit mediated and things started to cool down and become normal. All of a sudden, another kid from the same group came to us and threatened us like " Khattanna hun main, mere bhai aa jayenge na to tum dono bhaag jaoge yahan se"....can you imagine a small kid, around 8 years old talking like that, can we imagine anything like that 8 years ago. Things have changed a long way, more than for bad than for good. Then the same kid, followed us and sat along with us on a bench and told us about their big house, and kept on mentioning the name "Kahttanna". He also told us that his father has two industries, they have two VIP numbers being brought for one lac rupee each, his paternal aunt is mayor of the city and they are very close to MLA. For all this while his tone was intimidating, showing pride our the money they have got, it was not at all mild and sweet, as expected from a kid. Change is inevitable, but it should be for good, atleast for kids, as they are the future. It was astonishing for both of us to hear things like that from a small kid, he was talking ten years ahead of his age. Amazing, innocence is slowly moving out of kids, they are turning alarmingly stubborn, violent and rude. We all need to think about it, atleast kids should not be voilent and intimidating like this. In this era of everything moving so fast we are forgetting value and behavior, we should think upon all of this and should try to make things better.
