CHANDIGARH, Dec 9 — A couple
of years ago the opportunity for a young boy to
meet a young girl or vice-versa was provided by
their two bicycles bumping into each other, or
even the boy and the girl, carrying their
text-books, colliding into each other, and then
bending down together to pick each other’s
books! Today the Generation-X has invented their
own platforms and opportunities to bump into each
other. |
