One evening I was having coffee along with my friend in Starbucks at 35th&State just talking about our lives,studies,economy and like.We had finished our latte and then had an free Joe by showing the Starbucks preferred card.Really you get free coffee people if you don't know.At this time something happened which made me to write this blog..
Three kids came to Starbucks,a girl and two other guys.Two of them went for coffee and the other guy sat down at the end of the sofa and started covering his head and face with hoodie and I was wondering, Is this guy afraid of people in Starbucks?I thought that I will not mind his business and may be the kid is ashamed of the strangers.After some time the other kids came down and sat along with him and there was the girl getting close to him after having the coffee. After few minutes one of the guy left leaving the guy and the girl alone in Starbucks with strangers.
After few minutes my friend was nagging me to change place and pushing me to leave the sofa.I asked him why do we want to change and by that time I happened to see the two kids, and they where together into the hoodie.I felt something uncomfortable with Indian standard in public is happening.I restrained my friend to sit down and do his work and to see if the kids do bother to think that there are strangers all around them and they would not be comfortable with their actions. But the Kids knew the Best hard truth that fellow Americans will not mind into their business and the foreign kids having coffee will not dare,so they continued their canoodling and there happen to be an Starbucks employee enjoying her coffee and no one ever dared to say No to the actions of the kids but every one smiling an awkward smile including me . I was wondering if the Cinderella story as the kids will be thinking of what they are doing will be stopped by an Evil witch. Yes the Evil witch came after some time as police man and he dared to remove the hood and telling the kids to leave which they readily agreed and left unhappy.
That left me with a big Questions,Did parents fail to teach the little girl what is right and wrong?Would some one saying pack up kids hurt them and if it did would that little hurt be Good or Bad?Is the society setting a precedent of selfishness saying do what you got to do until it does not infringe on me even if it means harming yourself I will not bother?Is everyone irresponsible by saying that it his or her wish though they know something is not good? Is there any definitions for moral or public decency?Is it culture which many Asian countries so look ahead to ape more?Is privacy and freedom given so much?
Though in this case the kids have responsibility for their ages I think their parents have more responsible and society had much of telling them to follow some public behavior which is acceptable to most even if they did not know that kids personally.This open up another Pandora's box,why do you want to push your opinion on others and bully them?Which throws things in the middle of the sea with no place to hold and make yourself drown. Is our society drowning?Just a point,I just like to think there should be a steering to ride safe in car and its same everywhere .If we think that holding the steering for long time will hurt the handle and decide to take both hand of it we are sure of the outcome.I reserve my comment,Analyze world around you and decide,kind of irresponsible still.
Wondering how old the kids, they would be around 13-14years.

Your culture is not followed here. Children are allowed to love. Childhood is the only free and happy time that most Americans have, and it's kind to let them use it before adulthood, stress, and drugs take it away. You are not allowed to tell other people what to do, although it is your right to think anything that you want or to write anything that you want. But it is not allowed to make other people do what you want.
Yo smart ass ! You mean to say two 13 year olds fondling each other in public is acceptable? wtf man? America IS the land of freedom but we are not animals to f*** around everywhere. People must have certain values which are not bound by culture or nationality.
