What is the happy reality of our generation?

Now folks on Quora have undoubtably heard the so-called term “Boomer Generation” used in the US. Interestingly enough these time periods dovetail quite nicely with “Indian Conditions” as well.

Thank you for the question. Ms. Priya C.

Live-in, LGBTQ, none of these made the headlines.

Do crossdressers like wearing pantyliners and tampons in their butts?

> River Dams, Public Sector undertakings, Five year Plans galore, HMT, HAL, ITI etc. gave us the aam aami the euphoric feeling that we were on the right track to our deserved place as a great power in the comity of nations.

Medical Insurance have proliferated along with US style expensive Doctor Bills.

The first flush of aaya rams and gaya rams were creeping into the body politic of our legislature and that is when I left for the USA and that was almost 50 yrs. ago.

If you were a writer for HBO, how would you rewrite the final season of Game of Thrones?

South Indian Cinema had great actors and story lines that we could relate.

On a personal level.

The Airports have gotten better and nicer.

How are you spending your best time?

Education has gotten so much more expensive.

> “Secularism” was dinned into our ears until it became “second nature”, to most of us anyway.

Growing up in this decade.

Do Republicans give permission to Democrats to vote for any candidate except for Kamala Harris?

Ministers etc. were the only ones to have the Indian Flag on their bonnets. (Don’t know why?)

Many Indian Journalists have now been co opted so that they too are now in the money making business and currying favor with the powers that be. So how objective can their writings be?

Your parents chose your career path and also your profession. Aptitude be damned.

Starbucks CEO admits the struggling chain made a major mistake - TheStreet

> India’s population was around 365 million.

IIT’s had just been established.

> Leaders such as Nehru, Rajaji, Morarji Desai etc. were held to the highest standard and they fulfilled that expectation. The idea that they were corrupt was unthinkable, any more than the thought that one’s parents had sex with each other. It was an age, in retrospect, of “innocence” and not just at the level of us kids.

Why does my sister want to have sex with me? What should I do?

Indian Media is being controlled by a few business houses and the news especially foreign news is presented in a slanted way to suit the way, the Govt. would like it to be seen or not seen at all.

I’m going to attempt to taxonomy “Generations” in India as below.

1947–1964 ( Post Independence Generation). (Roughly Nehruvian)

Why does my narcissistic ex told me that he f*cked and sleep with other woman and then at the end says that it also happened because of me?

Govt. careers, such as IAS, IPS etc. very quickly gave way to Engineering /Medical degrees in the newly developing India (At least in the South).

It was very very hard for the general category people to get seats in the few Engineering and Medical Colleges in the State, let alone the IIT’s.

Love marriages were all to be ‘gasped at’ so rare were they at that time.

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

Study of Law (so important in my Dad’s generation gave way to Engineering and Medicine)

Live in relationship; Divorce (almost unheard of in my youth) don’t raise an eyebrow.

We had to wait for everything. Cars, Scooters, you name it. Nehru’s socialism meant that like the Soviet Union that he admired: There was a wait list for everything.

MindsEye Is Officially The Worst Reviewed Game Of The Year So Far - TheGamer

Hospitals everywhere in India, with excellent care offered.

I will also assume that this question is posed vis a vis my generation and compare that to conditions faced by generations today.

Redefined

Why are there so many girls and not enough boys to follow?

Bank Jobs were highly sought after.

The big Cities have gotten bigger and is almost unlivable now, traffic wise.

Foreign goods, forget about it, mostly sold in black markets.

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

5 Star hotels are dime a dozen.

There is a general atmosphere of intolerance towards minorities, with people unafraid to say things that would’ve been unthinkable in my day.

> Idealism reigned supreme, about the Govt. and it people and why not?

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Also, the Indian Economy while growing fast, is not able to provide jobs for sizable number of young men in the nation and that is a problem.

Foreign Exchange were so hard to come by in case you had to go abroad.

Young Kids have a lot of money these days and are getting married much later.

Jonas Brothers cancel and move upcoming concerts, including one in North Texas - WFAA

Import Substitution was the mantra.

There was no TV… Doordarshan of very poor quality only reserved for New Delhi.

Even though inflation was rising, there was a semblance of stability in the daily routine of everybody. The institutions and arms of the Govt. worked for the most part. Judiciary, Police, Govt bureaucracy etc.

Is love natural, or is it somehow created?

Nehruvian: I belong to the Nehruvian Generation.

1991- 2014 ( P.V. Narasimha Rao/ MMS)

1964- 1984–1991 ( Roughly Indira/ Rajeev Gandhi)

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

Pluses:

Life went on in essentially as a late 19th/early 20th century mold.

The first flush of enthusiasm of the Nehruvian age soon turned into despondency as Public Sector Industry after Public Sector Industry were all running in losses.

Newspapers also heavily censored themselves- clashes were referred to as “communal disturbances” between two communities. No details.

Indian industry started to make cars and other goods.

South Indian Films have now gained an All India Traction and seems to be edging out Bollywood, as it portrays less of a fake India than Bollywood.

Women in India seem to have more freedom, even as they feel more afraid of the general environment.

It was to me, anyway, a relatively chaste period.

People got married the old fashioned way (mostly).

> Indian Political leaders, for the most part, were all men and some women of the highest educational and moral Calibre at all levels.

I will first attempt to use the nomenclature used to distinguish “generations” -albeit from a Desi Slant.

> We grew up basking in the first flush of the pleasant prospect of an “Independent” resurgent India.

As far as the vast majority of Indians, who lived from hand to mouth, there was hope and relief in a plethora of laws passed.

Hindi Cinema had some great songs and tunes, even if many of us in the South especially didn’t understand such words as Ishq, Waqt, Zulf in the Hindi songs.

2014- Present ( Modi).

Now of course,Today Secularism to many is a dirty word and so is Socialism;

2014- Present

I know that some will cavil that I am ignoring I. K. Gujral, Chandrasekhar, Deve Gowda, Morarji Desai, even the redoubtable A.B. Vajpayee’s stint as PM. But bear with me, for the moment. This is done on purpose and to make comparisons simpler.

And then we did not have Google, Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram.

There are Engineering Colleges in almost every street corner, it seems.

Boys and Girls were strictly segregated.

Five Star Hotels were not as ubiquitous as today.

Boys and Girls these days are not afraid to be friends to each other (My opinion overall a good thing)

Very few boys strayed and even fewer girls.

> The horrors of Partition meant that the Govt would make sincere efforts to put all that behind us and accommodate all faiths.

Everything is available today without any delay. You have the money, you got it in today’s India.

>Both Central and State. Most of the Leaders were educated in the finest traditions of liberalism, often at Oxford and Cambridge and they had sacrificed their ‘cushy futures” for the cause of independence. When country’s rule passed into their hands, what would one expect?. Little if any corruption at the highest levels, or at least the perception of it.

Computers were just creeping in and opposed by the Labor Unions.

There are also proliferation of IT cells that offer an altered reality of the world, as they would like to see it and not as it really is.

Schools were fewer. Universities even fewer.

The middle class was small, but not that stressed from inflation etc.
