The weekend is over. And life goes on. I spent the whole day yesterday with the cousins. Had a good time; well.. they certainly had a good time.

I am not sure where life is leading me. Maybe I'm not sure where am I leading my life. Do you take care of your destiny or do you let the destiny take care of you ? I believe there are some things you can take care of and there are things you cant. At times you really want something to happen the way you want it to be. You feel that you can control the situation. You feel that fate and destiny are (or supposed to be) in your favour. But then... at one slip of the corner of your life, everything changes. What would one do at that moment of time?

"What is happening to the new generation?". My Boss was asking. He was pointing out to this new trends where some young men choose to be jobless. Some prefer to stay at home (especially the unmarried) with the parents (!!!!!)and some dont mind (are blessed) with the wives going to work and bring the cash home. Most consider themselves to be free-lances (with one or two job in 12 months) (!!!). TRy asking around and I'm sure you will at least hear one or two stories about their sons or sons in law or even brothers, uncles, cousins not having a job and walking around (or fre some -pretending) looking for one. And the baffling thing is that all of them want to drive in BMW (at least) use the latest hand phone by Nokia, wear Armani Exchange, Calvin Klien.... hang around at Starbuck ......bla bla bla and the list goes on.

Our conclusion is that these are the results of being pampered and spoilt by the parents. Imagine that most boys nowadays do not cycle to school. The parents are afraid that the sun might damage their sons fair skin. They think they can have their own ways all the times, and when they go to work, they find it difficult to take orders from the superior. They dont like to be bossed around. It hurts their ego; yes.. Mom treats them like Kings. They want to be their own Boss .....

Please; we want the men to be "jantan" the-Man ... not mama's boy... Please !!!!!
