Generation Why

It took me 28 years and one late night stint in the very quiet library.
It took me so many questions and so much introspection and retrospection.
It took me a lifetime of trying to keep my head above the water.

Until a few minutes ago - I was under the illusion that I was a member of "Generation X" .
That I was meant to be Xtremely sure, Xact and a Xtra achiever of sorts.

But according to my very astute and amazing Marketing Management Text book - Thanks to Kotler and Keller - Ive solved what might be the biggest mystery of my time.

Apparently - everyone who is born 1978 and onwards is not a part of the elite Gen X but infact belongs to the distinct Generation Y.

Which roughly in the all encompassing context of my life = Generation Why ?

So basically I inherited all the desperate answer seeking, the restlessness and the self inquisitions.
All the time that I spent resisting - could have been spent elsewhere.
So I guess my cross to carry is infact a big question mark.
And no - even SRK wouldnt be delighted with the number of sawaals I currently have in my life.
I guess I will have to keep throwing out my "Why's " to the cosmos and take solace in the fact that in the interim as I walk the tight- rope that this year is turning out to be - even though there may not be any answers , theres definately some darn good questions.
Audience Poll anyone ?
