'Each generation is a new people,' observed Alexis de Tocqueville.
This being the case Shaaditimes takes a ring-side view at three generations- kal, aaj aur kal . How different is Gen X from their parents and grandparents? On what issues do they differ most and on what least?
Every generation is a melting pot of different kinds of people. Attitudes, mindsets and ideologies reflect each generation's interpretation of life.
In triple speak no one generation is either right or wrong. It is a point of view.
Points to ponder
- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt decided to have a baby in Namibia, Africa
- Tom Cruise's overzealous home sonogramming the baby with Katie Holmes made news
- Britney Spears and hubby Kevin Federline spent $20,000 per night for a deluxe labour room!

Do you think celebs go overboard when they plan to have a baby. Three generations speak.

Mukta Dandekar,
Air hostess
"They are doing this simply because they want to gain publicity. They want to be in the News for whatever they do. Moreover they have all the money to splurge. Surely if I win 10 lakh rupees in a TV show tomorrow, I would also love to go into such an adventure. I might even think of going for a holiday to give birth to my child in some exotic place, or even in an aeroplane in that case!!"
Shweta Keswani, TV actress
"Its ridiculous! People should concentrate more on enjoying the moment than entertaining such childish whims. Be it Namibia or anywhere in the world all you need is a good nursing home and people who care for you around you. Having a sonographic machine and monitoring every minute details makes no sense. The doctors can do it better. I would, however, not mind something like having a water baby. Catherine Zeta Zones planned it but later dropped the idea. I found it interesting because it is based on scientific reasons. It would be easier for the baby to accustom himself in a waterbody because he won't feel the difference after the moment of birth."
Mr Kishore Tolia, Travel agent
"Having a baby is a very joyous occassion and many new parents go overboard with joy. Now since celebs have to be special in everyway, they entertain such whimsical thoughts to celebrate this occassion. That's what makes them stand out in the world of showbiz."
