Am i part of this generation???

I still cant help wondering whether i am still part of the present generation! i mean... i am not like the other guys of my age group. Or is it that i am growing mentally in a rapid manner?
A few points to be noted would be

1) I dont use a mobile phone and neither do I find the necessity for owning one! what is the point of having one anyway? there used to be just one mobile at home which was being used to call up my brother in allahabad and though i accept that i used the mobile, a lot, one year back, i don't do so now.
everywhere i go i see ppl talking on the phone (girls seem to be busier than the CEO of Google!) or messaging. agreed that mobiles have their advantages, but this is just plain murder of technology! Alright, u have a mobile? fine, keep it in your pocket all the time. don't use it at the dining table or when in class or when someone is talking to u. It is so GODDAMN irritating!

2) why spend unnecessarily? i mean when u can get good coffee at some nice tea stall or good ice cream at local ice cream shops, why should u tag along to just fit into a group and end up at some horrendous place like coffee day or Barista? these shops know that there would always be the rich bums, waiting to spend their parents hard earned money in their shops, for a small cup of caffeine! tell u wht? go home, ask ur mom for a good cuppa and if possible try inviting ur friends over once a week for coffee! ur place is as good as any café, in fact, better!!!

3) eating joints! oh maaan!!! this is exactly what is ruining india's economy! westernisation in a completely destructive way! ok a burger costs a dollar or so in the US...so that doesnt mean it should cost the equivalent amount over here! 40 rupees for 2 slices of bread? or some raw vegetables with some cheese? please! i cant think of anything more expensive than these.

i could go on like this forever and ever! but am getting more and more fed up with the way ppl r spending these days. too much of westernisation and too much pocket-money! i never used to have more than 10 rupees when i was in school. and that was to be used only for emergency purposes like a tyre being punctured or stuff like that. i managed to live through, didn't i?

this is exactly what sets me apart from ppl of my own age group and earns me a name..."Weirdo", "Geek",etc etc!
anyway i don't care abt being named in anyway as long as my message makes atleast one person to think about what i have said!

what a thought! indeed right you are. well, many think all what's mentioned in your post is "in" & follow it blindly. they don't accept you're normal when u don't hang around with a gang in some coffee shop! X-(
what you've got to say here is honestly "food for thought".
brilliant! :D
