When these kids were born, India was almost like 1947 only
Doordharshan was black and white only (color came during Asian games)
Banks trains buses everything was old fashioned 1/10
These kids - including me, of course - got three or four new dresses a year
Our parents focussed on Savings and education
We never went to hotel to eat unless it was another town
Evenings were spend playing
Adults talked with others in the street sitting in door

India of 1990 was not dissimilar to America or 1920
But
India of 2019 is like America of 2015
What it took America 95 years - three to four generations
Happened in India in 25 years
Difference between 1940s kids of India and 1970s kids of India is one generation only
3/10
But
Difference between 1970s kids and 1990s kids in Tamil Nadu is
Three generations

Everyday at least one parent in 50s complain to me that their kid in teenage does not respect them

I explain the above concept and then ask them
4/10
When you joined in your first job how did you behave with your manager
Now
You are manager or General manager how the campus recruited guy behaves with you
5/10
Just like how your-your manager relationship in 1990s is much different from your new recruit - your relationship in 2019
Your and your parents relationship in 1980s
Is different
From your and your kids relationship in 2019
Then they understand

What we don't understand is
We need to know that while there existed just a Generation Gap between 1940-70, 1950-80 etc
What exists between 1970-00s kids is Gap of Generations
It is nearly three generations
This gap is not just there in Parent - kids or Manager-Recruit
7/10
The Gap is present every where
it is present in education, it is present in health care
Within two decades
The Communicable - Non Communicable Diseases Transition in Mortality and Morbidity in Tamil Nadu Took merely two decades
8/10
GER crossed 50 percent in merely two decades
Agriculture became less than 15 % of GDP while services crossed 50 % of GDP in same time
I don't think we can have a parallel of 60 million people undergoing this much transformation within two decades any where in the world
9/10
There can be small states like Singapore which did this, but 60 million transforming at such a rapid pace never happened any where
We need to keep this concept in mind when you look at solutions for Healthcare, Real Estate, Education, Employment, Agriculture, Water etc

#FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on #BCG (#Bacille#Calmette-#Guerin) #Vaccine Trial
Question : Will BCG vaccine really benefit to control COVID in elderly ?
My Answer : Yet, It will. But, “control”, (like Prevent or Save) is a wrong word to be used. The Right word is “Reduce”
BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to control COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t benefit to prevent COVID in elderly
BCG Vaccine won’t save elderly from COVID
But
BCG Vaccine will reduce Mortality and Morbidity in Elderly
To Substantiate this, they are planning to start a trial
