Today youth speak their mind. There are many students like Varun Lamba a cadet in AP Moller Maersk who orate, " I belong to a business family. My grand father wanted me to join the family business too. But I have been very adamant since my childhood. Ships are the only things I ever dreamt of.

"My family was against my decision. They tried there best to brush up my mind. And see, today I am in the world's best shipping corporation. They were very angry in the beginning of my career but now they have respectfully accepted it," adds Varun

Rohan Swing of Lucknow University says "I have a different view point. My dad is a banker and he wants me to be an accountant too. But I have interest in Bollywood. Its surely a wise way to have a cool bank balance."

As we have this practical Gen-X, we can hope that our country's future is in right hands, which not only think about themselves but they of their country also. Jai Hind!
