Clean up the ......... Language?!?

The other day I was at a popular coffee place and sitting at a table nearby were a bunch of college kids., probably 6 of them. There were a couple of girls too. We all know this scene all too well. Loud music, lots of coffee and constant chattering !

What astounded me was the extent to which Profanity has crept into the way people converse these days. Sitting at the table, with our coffee, my friend and I were just plain shocked at hearing how the group of kids were talking. every sentence had the all so popular F*** word, BullS***, A*****e, M*****F*****, B***h!

Simply shocking!!

In India, the land of Great Culture, where people are (or should i say 'were') respected and elders obeyed and listened to, what has happened to "Clean Talk"?????????

I could hear kids no older than 14 or 15, at the most, calling their parents all sorts of names!! What a disgrace !
This kind of "Trash talk" is something that is polluting our own culture, language, tradation and respect. We are killing the dignity of our land. How do we even tolerate such talk?!?!
It is a shock that such language and Slang has actually become terrifingly popular than clean vocabulary.

These days we can hardly hear anyone say "Thank you" or "Welcome" or "Please" or Excuse me".

The question more than "How" is "Why?".

Don't we know what the curses mean? ofcourse we do.
Don't we know that these are bad names to call one's parents? again.. ofcourse we do.
Don't we know that it is a disgrace to talk trash?!... now.. that is something else.... these days.. as we observe... it is more of a status 'thing' to talk trash....

In a land where Women are worshiped as Gods..... people now call them "B***h".
In a land where Mother is equivalent to God...... kids are calling her names too low to even deserve mention!!

What happened to ---

"Maatru devo bhava,
Pitru devo bhava,
Aacharya devo bhava,
Athiti devo bhava"...................????????????????????

I wonder what the elders are teaching the kids?!?!
We see kids of "Important" people driving drunk and running over people, or drinking and doing drugs... yes... these things catch the eye of the press and they highlight it to no end... ofcourse... there is the issue of viewership rating and all that...but...
And the "Moral Police".... you stink...of Hipocrisy!!!
How many events where a little kid has done great in a big quiz, or done a fantastic painting, or is a music genius, or has amazing intellect has been highlighted?

How many kids have been mentored to utilize and channel that genius to become "truely great".
why is it that we don't see more people like Anushka Shankar, or Maansi from IIMB who recently showed that money is not the only thing in life (Maansi , we are truely proud of you!) ?

Where is that wonderful catagory of kids?
All I can hear these days all around is trash talk!!!

We need to clean up our language........ and parents......Please clean up your kids vocabulary... this is a heartfelt request.

WE NEED TO SET AN EXAMPLE THAT IS ... WORTH FOLLOWING!
HOLD UP THE LEGACY THAT IS ALREADY THERE.... CLEAR THE DUST THAT HAS GATHERED ON IT !

LET US SHINE.....not Stink!

Continuity.........

I am not a new writer but this is a new post on a new blog.... surprised? well , I had a blog, wrote for a while, din't write for a long time, forgot my password! so had to make a new one. :)
But WHY? what made me think of creating a new one and start writing after so long? That is what i want to tell all of you who are reading this....

I was talking to a friend of mine over lunch. I got to know this guy not too long ago. Very dynamic chap. Being new friends we kept talking for a long time and finally finished eating and got back to work. He has a blog too and asked me to read it and so we swapped blog addresses. we eventually read eachother's blogs and realised we think alike in many aspects. So he asked me why i am not writing anymore and I told him the password fiasco. But i also told him that due to other reasons also I had stopped writing.

He said something curious - "Why are you truncating your future because of some past freak experiences? Just continue your work pal!"

I am sure this sounds so normal to say,or hear, but to me, a guy who had totally stopped writing and at one point had angrily swore to delete my blog, this was weird.

It was not just about writing again, It was about forgetting the past, it was about Reviving what was nearly dead and dormant.

I was completely skeptical.

After a few weeks, it sunk in. It was about CONTINUITY. About not stopping a wheel that has been set in motion just because the road has a few bumps.

My friend was teaching me a very important lesson in life! To keep moving ... and to keep Continuity.

Thanks dude..!
I will keep writing and will keep moving....AHEAD!!!!
