Generation Ex

Rajesh, my name is Ahmad Hayat, your article ``The Parcel`` and my article ``My Summer of 69`` were published on Chowk within a day or two of each other...After having read ``The Parcel`` and having liked it (as I am quite fond of checking out peoples` interactions to my articles, having found none that day, I decided to read your article) I went for ``Generation Ex``. I would like to say that the sh*t that I had posted on chowk in the form of ``My Summer of 69`` and that by the way has received over 80 equally shi*ty posts is not even comparable to your magnificent article ``Generation Ex``. One of the best things that I have read in a long time, and I am not talking about chowk...anywhere for that matter.
Would love to have more of your publications here on chowk or elsewhere.

P.S. ``Generation Ex`` and ``My Summer of 69`` are only comparable in the sense that both of them describe past events. The content and intentions are ceratainly very different. Anyway I just wanted to tell you that you just became my personal favourite. Really :o)

``The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see``.

Perhaps there wasn`t anything special about these people. People like them are generated at random in this phenomenon of continuity. It`s just that they were contemporaries of your father, and he wouldn`t want his time to end. Nobody does!

Well-written.

Nice read...
Well if the 80s and the 90s were interesting, then the next 2 decades are going to be freaking
crucial, for sure. But at this point of time, it does seem as if the gods are smiling on my
civilisation, finally.
