Some of the fundamental reasons for this state of affairs:

- Both girls and boys are more career oriented.
- Listneing to parents' advice is on the decline.
- They may not disobey directly - but come out with some reason or other for disobeying.
- With a lot of friends circile - acquired through schools / colleges / professional courses, they think that "time pass" with friends are the ultimate happiness in life.
- Afraid of marriages / child birth and associated respsonsibilities
- NO fundamental interest in changing their way of life a little bit for a married life (pl also refer the thread "{Happily divorced).
- Increaed time spent on officie or office related work
- NO language barrier as more often medium of communication is english.
- Having an impression that only love marriages work
- Refusal to believe that traditional method of "seeing a girl" and conclusion of marriage will also work
- In other words we can call the group of Tam youngsters in the age group of 22- 30 as a confused group but refusing to accept that they are confused group, always think that they are always right, always think that their parents are traditional and may not be in a position to accept the current way of life etc.etc.etc.
- Only time will tell how far they are correct - may be 10-15 years down the line, there may not be any need for Nursery schools or Kindergarden schools in "modern" cities.
