Love – indeed is a topic which never loses
its novelty even on repeated discussion. Discussing a love affair
can recharge the monotonous days of our life. It is a wonderful
fact that the concept – love – helps us to view everything
happening in our life with pleasure. This is true irrespective
of the place or time.
As Moppasang views it : The mind entrapped by love is as if one
shocked by lightening. On receiving the stroke of that sharp emotion
no entry will be given to anybody else.
This was true in its real sense till
the last decade. There were no special agenda or restrictions
for love affairs by that time. While falling in love,
there were flowing fully along with the holy feelings
to it. This was true as far as the case of people of bygone
generation.
But, what about the present? The youth of the present
can never take such things seriously for they consider
it as a “cheep sentiments”. For them, everything
is a time pass. They don’t give a serious meaning
for the usage ‘serious love’(not forgetting
the very rare exceptional cases.) the present generation
opts to be in love for filling the leisure hours with
a love sound in the mobile phone, for perambulating the
bike together to avoid a boring evening or for a company
in the parlor while smacking the chillness of the ice
cream or for enjoying the moods in the pubs or in a nocturnal
club. Only that much is their concepts about love.
On the other hand, if anyone wish a fruitful love, they
might have earned a full knowledge about the wealth, education,
family background, etc., of their mates to be virtuous in
front of virtuous in
front of the parents. Indeed the saying “love is blind”
has grown old!! If some one from the previous generation
happen to ask the question “whether you consider your
love seriously?” it is quiet natural that the new
love/lover will stare at them with a wonder on face, “where
is this fellow coming from?”! and he/she will naturally
award them with a blinking smile that appears in some corner
of his/her face.
“To be frank, I hate these concept
of serious love, all are just a time pass. That is all.”
This is their view. In the olden days, people with some
sort of eminence were been loved by girls. But now they
prefer boys having motor bike, recent model mobile phone
and pocket full of money. So called hi-tech girls don’t
care even the intelligent category. They avoid blind lovThey avoid blind love.
They want boys who are ready to take them for trips or
those who could entertain them in their shopping. There
the education and ability are made secondary to money.
Yes, they value money alone.
The girl from the previous generation, fearing the society,
were hiding their ambition to talk something to their
lover solely. She use to convey the strongest of love
feeling rather in a smile or in a twinkle in the eyes.
But these are all old stories. Now among the girls of
the new era could see those do not hesitate to flirt even
for earning pocket money.
Such girls who bid boy to their hostels
in the weekends to roam about seeking ‘new world’,
new experiences and return cool with the handful of gifts
received from the boy friends!! The only demand these
young girls put forth while roaming about with boy, about
whom they know nothing is that they should be properly
gifted with things of the modern world.
Chastity is an outdated concept now. Following the western
culture, the new generation has started teasing those
girls who don’t have a boyfriend ever!
The girls in a traditional dress, walking along as if
a breeze and spreading smell of traditional perfumed oil
used for bath cannot be seen even in the short stories
now. On the other hand we can see the modern girls wearing
skintight jeans and exposing T-shirts worth to exhibit
the contours roam about like a storm. But to where..?
Time has given the new generation a collation of the craze
of sex and non guidance. Violence and sex reached the
college campuses by travelling a lot through the satellites.
While the youth of last decade selected the cool shades
of the trees as a place for sharing th of the trees as a place for sharing their feeling of love,
the modern youth fetch the ‘pub’ and ‘night
clubs’ for sharing theirs.. there, when their conscious
are bubbled together with the frothing liquid in glass
in front, they gradually howl to the world of sex. There
they have nothing to lose. But they think they gain every
comfort of the modern world!
Now a days it is seen that the love affairs
is only for the exchange of love song albums that are
available in discs. These high tech lovers don’t
have the least of conscious pricking in seeking a new
one for their rapture. They never think of the sense
of the lyric they heard all late last night. Their sincerity
towards their partner and to the lines given by him/her
as a token of their love is also like that .
“I can’t help but say, in your ears silently
the love which I have towards you dear…
The rhythm of my heart beat says
That you are mine, ever and ever…”
We can’t sure whether there exist at least a drop
of sincerity in these lines sent by a lover to his sweet
heart, yesterday; for today he may be singing the same
to another with full sincerity as he would say!!
The present generation challenges the famous poet who
observes that ‘true love is not sexual’.
Probably they may not knowing these lines and the poet
who said so.
There was a time when young men satisfied
by seeing a smile, a twinkle from his love, females
were a far off wonder for them. But now these girls
are one among the ‘goods’ for consumption.
Like any other commodity girls from reputed family are
also available on payment. She herself spoil her value.
These girls are not doing this as profession but, Just
to make pocket money without asking from parents!
Love affair too is not an exception. The generation,
which embarrassed the out dated conventions, which showed
their sincerity in love affairs and renounce everything
for that love has almost vanished. A few left behind
lives realizing that they are unfit for the present.
Knowing that they are ending and helplessly suffering
the teasing of the high tech surrounding, they expect
their failure.
Oh!! What a change in the relations
within a short period of a decade!! What will be the next
change can’t imagine at all. Let us go ahead..,
viewing the changes eagerly but without giving a chance
to beat us. Taking out the feet from heinous with care
not to step into the bog of sin. Forget not that the just
before generation represent the vanishing species..
