Generation Gap

There was always a conflict going on between the young and the old. This is usually referred to as generation gap. The best thing about the aged is having the experience. They have seen it all. May be this was infuriates the young about their elders. The young are reckless and wish to make their own mistakes and learn from them. When one is young them every thing in life is unlimited-hopes, dream, possibilities, physical energy and most important of all, the time! Yet the young are impatient and do not want to wait for tomorrow.

The aged have only few tomorrow left. Time is not on the side of the older, more experienced. If youth is marked by over confidence, age tends to be over cautious wary. Age has no illusion whereas the young hate to be disillusion. Age and youth seem to be whole apart and there seem to be no meeting ground. But aren’t these two, important facet of life? Each has its own reward to offer. The first forty years of life give us at the text, the thirty supplies the commentary on it. But usually it becomes very difficult for us to strike the balance.

The World today is poised at the brink of the new millennium-ushering out the old ushering in the new these are important time heralding significant changes. The whole mood is upbeat. The slogan is that every thing new, young and fresh is welcome. New ideas, a new look, new clothes etc.

Where does this leave the old? Does all these glitz add to their life and happiness or, on the other hand, it makes them feel even more tired and saddened? Does it sound like music or brings in a fresh whiff of air and color to their world weary eyes and ears? This celebration of youth is not a new thing. It is indeed the golden time of one’s life and the young should be given importance as well as recognition but what is wrong is the commercialization of the youth.

Nature

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world, or material world. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis, which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word by pre-socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.

Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For, example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human conciousness or a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural, the supernatural, and the artificial.

Life Long Friendship

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Poem dedicated friends:                                                                          

Because existence can become severe in one day, just sense me and I'll be there. In the minds eye, I'm not so far away. If you hold out your hand, in the whispers, I'll become the zephyr. and besiege you. If your eye's upon the stars, in the crystalline darkness, I'll become the moon. And the light shall guide you. If you rest upon the ground, in the warmth, I'll become the grass. And embrace you. If you turn outside, in the wetness, I'll become the rain. An upon your forehead, kiss you. If you free the air, in the light of day, I'll become the sun. And smile for you. Between the miles- if you need me. If you need a friend. Let me be the friend, I want to be.
