Why wouldn't the teens become a national bestseller?



              Why wouldn’t the teens out here become a national best seller? I was thinking about this thing from a very long time, many reasons came to my mind, in fact when I first typed this article I had included some age old reasons such as 'parents want their child to study!' They would want their child to become professionals and would make them join coaching classes, ask for marks and for more marks! Uff!


              At the end, when I asked myself does the reason sound justifiable? A big NO popped up instantly. My parents never forced me to study round the clock! And there are so many parents around to whom it would not be fair if I say they would expect things from their kids.


            Then it came to my senses, there are so many other stuffs which kills the creativity within. We are encroached with so much virtual friends on facebook. Instant messengers have made it easier to connect virtually but what we have lost is the essence to connect in person.


            We have come to that point where it’s hard for a kid to have dinner without replying the whatsapp messages, if that is the situation, how can he find time to read good books and write a good one?


           How can a kid write books when he doesn’t even have time to talk to his parents properly? He has to check the constant news feeds, reply to all the pings and many more.


Rule out the idea of writing a book, there is a drastic downfall of in-person contacts among us. 

Isn’t there something like productive use of virtual stuffs? Where we can limit the usage of things which are unproductive? 


             I guess we seriously need one of those ‘something’, that something where the essence of connecting to other person is developed, something where ‘The real’ is preferred over the virtual. Else, hard time is surely awaited in future!
