These words are few of millions of

words of the modern fast

and furious life.

We are leading a hectic

lifestyle infested by the

digital age and chances

are if one doesn’t keep up,

one falls behind.

You snooze, you loose!!!

Wa lala wa sala!!!

But?

• What do these words mean to ordinary people of the developing world?

• What do young people think?

• What about tomorrow,

the next generation?
