What is this world coming to?

"what is this world coming to?"

Ok, maybe my thought process starting from one direction to another and ended in such a philosophical question. But, it all started with my last post. Yes, the one about my Teddy Bear. It went on to my Financial Markets Class yesterday. My proffessor addressed the class politely and gave us details about the course structure. Then, she went on to add that she hopes to finish most of the lectures before the mid-term exam. After that, she wants to sit back and relax while the students come up in front and do presentations. The reason which she explained after looking cautiously at her stomach. She is pregnant and is due to have a baby by January. She "hopes" to be here till the end of the semester.. but if that isnt the case, then a substitute teacher would be arranged. Me and my friends were amused. She looked so damn slim! Where is this baby?? Yes, just like boys stare at women.. we girls were staring at her weird! :P

I was playing with my pen wondering what this woman was doing in a university, when she should clearly be at home enjoying this. But, then she threw me off balance with another statement that her two year old son is at home and therefore she wont be available for consultation at all hours. I stared at her... well.. middle..again. Gosh, i haven't seen a woman go through all this.. this.. well baby process. Atleast, i havent seen the 'bloating' session before yet. Lol, pardon my ignorance. Yes, well.. I did see the bloated final version of my classmate who, from what information i could gather, had delivered her child one week before the final exam week. She still turned up for the final exams. Well, I must say Kudos for her.. because she carried herself well throughout the whole session without a flinch. Then again, this wasnt her first time. This is her second child and yes, she has been married for six years now.

While i was listening to Himesh's jhalak dikhlaaja in my w300i, a realization hit me in this cold afternoon of september 7th. The world is changing so quickly! The whole process of learning and observing has just become twice faster. Children.. are actually Brilliant nowadays! They achieve things that we cant even fathom to!

I mean.. what is the most well-known toy for a little boy? Guns! He loves guns and learns to use it when he can't even spell the word Gun yet!
Favorite game for a boy? Police-thief game or super-hero games. Why not declare peace? No wayzz.. tichikiyaonnnnn.. I am here to shoot everyone with my plastic gun! And we are sitting here gasping at the arrests of terrorists. Look at what your kids are exposed to!

Girls aren't better off either. Most well-known Toy for a little girl? Barbie! The perfect image of a new modern era girl who dresses slutty and looks bimboish. The first thing your little girl learns is how to undress and dress a Barbie. And we are dumbstruck by the emerging Bipasha's and Mallika's. What else do u expect??

Favorite game for a girl? Family-family game. A huge fight between the lil girls on who gets to be the 'mommy' for the dolly. "... I will stay at home and take care of the baby and cook, and you go to office ok?..." And these same girls grow up to become 'feminists'???

What is this world coming to...
