Define,
There is this thing about the current generation, however bold or spoilt or over smart everyone thinks we are or we actually are, what defines us is that we know exactly what we want and we’d do anything to get it.
It may be the smallest thing, from the perfect prom dress to a certain grade, respect, recognition or love, just about anything.
And its amazing how none of us would ever settle for anything less! Not a dime less than what we have dreamt of.
And they say that’s not something we should be proud of, but you know what it is! 
Because its not like we can’t compromise, its just that its us believing not only in our dreams but also in ourselves. We aren’t really scared of failure or judgement, what we are scared of, is not getting what we want!
The definition of us is a line, not a segment because we believe in commas and not full stops!
We are selfish, we are bold, we do wrong that’s we’re told,
But i believe that we’re the change, let us dream, let us unfold.

  1. i thought this was really beautifully expressed, at times we can often be overly cynical of the youth of this country, criticising them for lack of enthusiasm and engagement. However, there is definitely a brighter side to it and there are a large number of people, who are being the change they want to see. The Forbes 30 under 30 list in India, is a beautiful place to start to see the meaningful contribution that some of us are making in our own ways. Sharing an article on the story of an all woman lawyer group that have set up camp in the jungles of Chhatisgarh to provide legal aid http://forbesindia.com/article/30-under-30/guneet-kaur-isha-khandelwal-and-parijata-bhardwaj-bringing-law-to-the-land/39601/1. The entire list makes for a wonderful read too :)
