Senior citizens should have the maturity to not criticize and write mumbo jumbo in sanskrit to bolster their point of view. It is like pope sermonising in latin to gullible listeners in rome.
It is just sanskrit and not Afrikaans. And those who know sanskrit understand it and those who do not know that language read the english part of the post and are happy. Anything in sanskrit need not be mumbo jumbo. To call it that is childishness. When the "gullible sheeps" that assemble and listen to Pope do not have a complaint why should you have? Did they compalin to you?
Younger generation gets better exposure these days due to digital world and are more mature and knowledgeable than seniors.
It is your private opinion. Getting typsy after a few pegs and going to bed with some x, y or Z are all perhaps exposures which makes them mature and knowledgeable. LOL. Just quoted your words.
In organisations , the younger lot try to keep away from the the experienced types and do what is technically correct. Most seniors live off the knowledge of youngsters. Most academic seniors [prof. etc] add their name to research publications of research scholars. In offices, there is a string of added names of superiors to any work put out at conferences or seminars. thats why ,most young get disillusioned with older generation. even for any wrong doing in offices, the blame is pinned on some low level employee mostly.
Badri, the popular writer and commentator wrote this in a news paper:
When I interviewed this gentleman, he kept saying after each of my question, "that is a good question" as if he was appreciating me for my questioning abilities. When I asked him What do you know about our Company, he replied "I know you are in Nungambakkam" and looked for the next question from me.
This is the quality of the stuff our universities are sending out these days from their assembly lines. I have personal experience with these youngsters as I have interviewed them. Their knowledge level is just miserable.
There are also some flashes of brilliance but they are not many.
Dear krishji, you can live in your own world of make believe. If these youngsters get jobs it is not because of their knowledge levels, it is just that the technology has improved so much that it requires just semi skilled labour to carry on the tasks.
When I was interviewing a young engineer for an IT job, I asked the question " Tell me in just ten minutes how the AC machine in this room makes the room cool. I am a layman". He fiddled and shifted in his seat and mumbled something and said ten minutes will not be sufficient. He wasted 5 minutes already on this. I gave him 15 minutes and yet he could not gather himself. Ultimately he said sorry and looking at his discomfiture I moved to the next question.
Next came a girl. I asked her the same question. She took a good 10 seconds to size up the situation and organize her thoughts. Then she answered the question well. She spoke about the Joule Thompson Effect and adiabatic expansion through an orifice in five sentences. Then moved over to the compressor, the coolant gas, the pinch/throttle valve, condenser and blower and explained the AC well all within the time given. It was a treat to watch her present her ideas. I selected her and was also sad. Sad because I knew she won't stay in that job. The IT job did not have scope for excitement for that kind of a brain. She left in six months.
I am sure you would agree that all this is not mumbo jumbo because you understand technology and English. LOL.
