Yes, we all have much to say about the millennial kids. But when we come to think of it, it is actually not their fault alone.
Those who were born in the 80s will agree with me that we had limited entertainment channels and a very focused / straight education system, yet we all lost the path sometimes but could get back on track faster because the socioeconomic growth around us wasn’t going crazy!!

But today there are 4 major problems the youngsters are facing –

1. Everything around them is changing: be it technology, things, trends, all of it. before they can get the hang of one game another is launched, to keep up with this pace they begin altering their behaviors for example not being too sure of one thing alone, getting bored too soon, etc.

2. Education is not growing at par with the technology: The education systems in India still have the same model of assessment and curriculum with minor introductions of technology here & there. In fact the 11th/12th std or MBA students are not even aware of many career trends today, so how do we expect them to be focused & dedicated. Did you have the subject back in school called “Moral science”. Do you remember anything about it?? Well I do, because it left a great positive impact on my mind, it made a huge difference in the way I treat humans, animals & plants. This is what our new age kids need.They need emotional education. They need to learn compassion, love, respect, how else will they grow up to be positive on any platform?

3. Money has changed the game: We only see spenders around us, Some spend on food, some on clothes, some on holidays & cars, and some on all. And how do we know that – Instagram/Facebook/twitter. Enticing, Inviting pictures everywhere, compelling you to spend!! to be there!! Maybe, parents are at fault somewhere but don’t you think we all as a society have a role to play here too?

4.Too much information: Yes with technology we have information on our fingertips but with that comes the risk of exposure to a lot of the bogus, distracting, demotivating information as well. And may be we haven’t prepared our kids/youngsters to handle that well, may be we have not invested enough time & efforts in establishing a strong belief system. A robust belief system that helps them differentiate right from wrong, or easy from worthy, or addictive from nourishing. May be as parents/elders/uncles/aunts we have not prepared them to handle this environment we have today. This is the reason why the cases of bullying and suicides are only going up.

 Well, as a professional and a human with 32 years of experience in life, Facing the good, bad & the ugly; I feel the need to interact, empower & enlighten the students of today. They need this. We cant stand on the sidewalk and watch the fun.
This will be my way of contributing to the society in a minuscule way.
I am daily looking for opportunities to work with students.
I have begun my journey on the subject of emotional education. 
With My book #UmeniTherapy I am reaching out to young teens & adults encouraging them to use art as a strong form of de-stressing, mindfulness and creative thinking. I feel as parents or elders we need to encourage people to experience & explore the joy of simple things.
Inspired by the book, I conduct art workshops with teens & adults, just like an additional fun activity, we all get together at a suitable venue and help each other to unleash our creativity on the canvas.

Apart from this guest lectures in Colleges and schools are on my list of things I am already doing. I speak on generic motivational topics to specific to my industry as well. If you are associated to any such educational institute, wherein I could step in as guest speaker, feel free to contact me.The link to one of my talks is here.

This is my way of getting out of the complaining zone of “what is happening to the world?” to “Let’s do something to make the world a better place!” Because Each time I interact with students, I come home learning a thing or two about my own self as well.

My suggestion to you is come participate with me, Join in or do your own bit to help our country’s young students, to find a path. You can help by sharing your work expertise online or offline, talk to the kids around you , Hire them as interns in your company or any other ways you can thing of. What ever it may be just try & work with them and start including them in your societies.
