Youth is
as youth would be
By Nonika Singh
PSYCHOLOGIST
Keniston recognised youth as essentially a period
of studenthood, a kind of lull, a  time for serious
experimentation, to shape a personal perspective
on life and a sense of direction before tackling
the challenges of true adulthood. In each one of
our lives youth is a special chapter, and at the
macro-societal level, youth cannotes a beacon of
hope. But in a society like ours, which has
traditionally equated wisdom with grey hair and
youth with passionate foibles, today more than
ever youth, instead of signalling optimism, seems
to be ushering in a dark era of desolation.
