Generation Gap

In this article I have depicted the main differences between Generation X and Generation Y members.

Generation X (Gen X) is named for group of people born from mid 1960's to mid 1970's. Members of this generation, wrought in the shadow of the Baby Boomers, felt alienated and disenfranchised by the cultural icons of the time.



“X” described the lack of identity that members of Generation X felt — they didn’t know where they belonged, but knew for sure that they weren’t a part of the overbearing generation of Baby Boomers.
By the way, Baby Boomers are group of people born from 1946 to 1964.They are known as Baby Boomers becuase they were born after the end of World war II (1945).

Apart from face to face contact, Gen x prefer Posting letters and ringing telephone to communicate with each other. The first generation to grow up with computers and technology woven in to their life. They have the mentality of manufacturing economy.

Gen Xers are Independent, entrepreneurial, culture-oriented, and seek emotional maturity

Generation Y (Gen Y) describes group of people born from mid 1970's - early 2000's. These millenials are also known as Echo boomers due to the increase in birth rates through the 1980's and in to 1990's and because many of them are children of Baby boomers.

  
Apart from telephonic calls, Gen Y prefer e-mail, facebook, twitter, and text messages to communicate with  each other thanface-to-face contact. 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, the Gen Y is armed with BlackBerrys, Laptops, Cellphones and other gadgets. They have the mentality of servicing economy.

They are confident, ambitious and achievement-oriented, seek out new challenges and are not afraid to question authority and mainly they value team work.

Millenials believe in meaningful work and a solid learning curve. They are culturally liberal, emotionally mature and also socially conservative.

Whatever the generation is.... whichever the generation is....however the generation is......  each generation has its own pro's and con's. I strongly feel the current generations pick up the negative points of their previous generation to correct and adapt. But, during the correction and adaption process, they themselves leave other negative points to the future generation to correct and ofcourse, this mistake continues further.

Happiness

Where do you find Happiness?

When do you find Happiness?

In what way you find Happiness?

With whom you find Happiness?

The list of questions never ends if you keep on digging deeply in to the matter.

Happiness lies in avoiding the thought of the unwanted matter or discussion in our life rather than digging them.If we keep on doing the unwanted things, we will be in a miserable condition.

Happiness is a comfortable state of being in love, joy, satisfaction and relaxation with our loved ones,possession,or work.If one person find happiness in his work, the other may find it in his laziness.

Infact, Happiness lies in:
* Everywork you do
* Everything you see
* Everybody you meet
* Every thing you eat
* Everywhere you go

We don't even think of utilizing this precious oppurtunities, and just keep wondering of where the happiness is.

The main purpose of our life is to be happy at each and every stage of our life, we experience many instances of happiness and unhappiness in our life and still we are ignorant of what happiness is.

We think happiness is in life without problems, but the real happiness lies in the strength of facing problems. Happiness exists in you when you are in the state of satisfaction after overcoming the problems and challenges in your life.
ofcourse, we have good memories of our past life and, we plan for a good future. But, the happiness is not in the past life, it exists in your life right now at present, as we face the challenges of our daily life.

True happiness is to be found within you, yourself. How much ever you try, you can never run away from yourself. You will never find happiness if you don't challenge your weakness and change yourself from within.

So, If you want to live a fruitful and a happy life:
* Understand yourself and the people around you.
* Change according to the environment.
* Live for yourself and at some instances sacrifice for your loved ones.
* Have patience, as the temper can never provide you happiness but can always make your life miserable.
* Forget the bad memories of your life ad forgive the people who did wrong to you.
* Believe in yourself and try that your loved ones to have faith in you.'

New Year 2011 Celebration at Hogennakkal Falls

It was a sudden decision of my husband to celebrate the new year 2011 at hogennakkal falls. On Jan 1st 2011,saturday, we had a small cake cutting ceremony by my son Ashish and started our journey from home at 8:00 a.m. Having breakfast in a hotel on the Hosur highway, we took the Palakod route and reached Hogennakkal by 12:30 p.m.

@ Hogennakkal Falls:

As we had thought, the hogennakkal place was heavily crowded and it was looking like people had abandoned Bangalore for 2 days. Since it was a season for boat persons, they were charging 200/- per head. We paid 800/- for four persons as there was no chance for bargaining.

The hogennakkal falls water path for boating is a stretch of approximately 4 k.m. It has many naturally and innovatively carved beautiful high rocks on both the sides through which 10-12 streams of water falls at short distances.The depth of the water was 120ft.




My husband was so fantasized to see such breathtaking water falls that he decided to dive and swim.

Here's the video of my brave husband's dive.

Brave Dive of My Husband @ Hogennakkal Falls

It is a very good and enriched place for fish lovers (I mean those who eat fish) as you get the freshly caught fish fries over there. It will be unfair if I don't mention about body massage, yes! you get well trained body massage people in Hoggennakkal to get relieved from stress and refresh yourself.

After enjoying a lot with those amazing water falls we left hogenakkal @ 4 p.m and continued our journey towards Thiruvanamalai. Overall Hogennakkal place is a very good place for enjoying a day with your family or friends.
