Generation GAP

The following piece is written by my sis dearie!!!
While reading, I just felt, she has grown up so much...her poems have got transformed from
"mother mother mother" to what you read below!!
And yet she has retained her cheeriness all throughout...

I am sure she would be pleasantly surprised to find her poem published in this blog....but now has come a day, when I am feeling honored to post her write ups here...

Kudos to you Meds!!!




you asked me to not to listen to radio
and i replied "sorry dad !but i am 
                  addicted to radio"
you advised me.
you counselled me
but i did not hear a word 
bcoz i felt "maggie wid out music/radio 
is soo not me"

you came a step down and told me
"ok maggie listen to radio
but only when u r sleepy
or wen u r feeling lethargic"
but i am such a prat that i 
thought this does not suite me

Maybe this is what is called as
                   generation gap
our parents and our selfs
            we lie in her lap
how much ever a parent tries to be
                              hip and hype
we feel ,"oh god !why is he/she trying
              to be our type?!"

who should be sympathized ?
parents or kids?

we enjoy metallic tunes of guitar
whereas they enjoy melodious tunes
                           of sitar

we adore movie stars,collage rock stars etc
whereas they consult an astrologer
                 to calculate  our stars
and try to understand the reason 
behind our this kind of behaviour

over a few years
 when we become parents
we find our selfs advising our children
the same thing  our parents
advised us over the last few yrs
