Omkar Sane, you have just penned a masterpiece. I am on Page 47 and couldn’t stop myself from googling more info about this Genius who crossed my path via pages of a book. After 22 years in the Copy section of a madhouse, I am so glad that someone finally points out The Emperor’s New Clothes! All the best, I am certain you will sell 2 million copies in quick time. I am going to share your Book of Facebook.

@m0usep0t4t0_ no matter what age, you can’t be ready to kill someone. so much hate? rage? why? who wronged them? and how? if they are angry because a country has wronged their country, wow. if they understand that much, they surely are better off than such behaviour
My take –
You can’t be ready to kill someone? – First, like I said these are hormone-fuelled, brainwashed-by-media 20-somethings. When there is a choice between intellectual discourse and emotional response, emotions trump most of the time. Second, how widely read do you think an average 20-yr old is?
You’ve worked in advertising (this site claims) so you know from Advertising-101 that effective advertising is inciting emotional response from target audience without giving them a chance to think. This is exactly what happened.
Second, if no one kills no one else we will all be in utopia. But sadly real world doesn’t work that way. Imagine a life without Military, Police, Security guards at your apartment? Sure it’s a high moral road to take and say killing someone is wrong, and it is, but you have to be alive to be able to take high moral road, no?
Third, you claimed you’ve met a lot of normal 20-yr olds. No, they only acting to be normal. May be because they want to stand out from the unwashed masses? There could be a few exceptions, like you said you were, but isn’t it a too broad a generalisation to think all 20-yr olds are like you?
