Boomers to Gen Z
Surprised when somebody calls you the Silent Generation or Boomers or the Millenials! Want to know what these words mean? Contribute your thoughts to these words and terms over here.
Yesterday I was having a good time conversation with my friend Sultan. It was a very interesting discussion and all of sudden he said "Wo to Boomer hai"! I was taken aback and surprised.
In my mind, I was wondering, what is a Boomer? Is he talking about chewing gum that we had during our childhood? (Remember: Boom Boom Boomer?) Or was it something else?
Well, I asked him, "Yaar, ye Boomer kya hai?" He laughed, and said, "You don't know!"
Timidly, I said to him, "No yaar! Seems like I have rusted brains now! Please tell me." He laughed loudly! So he said, Boomers are those people who are not tech-savvy. In my mind, I said, "Thank God! It's not me!" Going further he said that after the Boomers, came Gen X. From the 1980s, came the Millenials and those born after the 1996s, came Gen Z.
