The tagline couldn’t have been more simple, the thought more real and the fact more darker.
Life evolves, each generation surpasses the previous, gets more better than other but forgets that it was due to the previous generation the present is there.

Have you ever tried driving/walking slow so that your dad can keep pace with you, have you ever tried doing what they have been doing for us and yet not complain. Try once and enjoy the smile on their faces.
And if you have begun, don’t just stop at your parents, look around and help each person who helped you shape your life today but feels out of place today. Help each and every person elder to you because if you are generation X, there will be a generation Y soon.
