    Dear Lakshmi,

    For some strange reason, I could not access your grid and it showed error message to me.

    Dear Lakshmi,

    No problem. I thought I was the only one who had that problem as others responded seeing the grid. Thank you for clarifying.

    Ha ha awesome that! :lol: :thumbup:

    Honestly, I have given up on this generation talk you know. One, it tends to generate heat and hatred on the internet forums, the case of opening the can of worms! :rolleye: Secondly, I understand it's more of a marketing thing, just another capitalist manipulative strategy to induce a false sense of belonging to an ’uber cool, niche community’ so they can advertise their products to/for/as the "popular culture". Statistics also confirms rest half of the world's 'so called millennial' population are clueless they are one actually. Makes sense? :buenrollo:

    Anyways aside from food, fashion, and (digital) living, It's the language too. I wasn't aware until I was pointed out!

    Fun was a noun long before the slackers and hackers existed but their generation turned it into a full adjective, injecting it into “a fun time,” “a fun call,” “a fun concert,” and the wealth of other types of fun to be had.

    Most recently, the so-called Homeland Generation (born 2005 and later) has been doing something different with wait, using it for statements and questions alike. Metcalf noticed his grandson saying things like, “Wait... where are we going?” and “Wait... I’m going over to the neighbor’s house.” It’s both a pause and a request for attention, and it’s “reminiscent of [Metcalf ’s own] Silent Generation’s thoughtful approach to the world.” Is the newest generation articulating a distinctive way of viewing the world? It’s too early to tell, Metcalf concludes: “We’ll have to wait.”

    Wait... What? :grinning: Guilty as charged I guess! :facepalm:

    Alternatively, here is another categorization. :sunglasses:

    I like the other song, "Kalyana Malai..." more.

    Btw, this is now playing in my ears. Sometimes plays in loop too, I kinda feel zen to this song just as you say! :grin:


    That makes me randomly think about this 'Most Unwanted' song, made just to be unliked purposely! :grinning:



    Me thinks both ll be 'pain' in ur ears, given you are a Ilayaraja fan! :lol:

    Nevermind! :facepalm:

    This is my favorite Vidyasagar's Tamil song.



    When I hear this song, neither the Syrian cat nor the guns in UAE bother me.
