In India, youths party on - Newsday
Where marriage has since ancient days been deemed a sacred duty, Yuvika Bader, a quick-tongued 20-year-old college student, rejects the very concept of matrimony. "If someone's going to live with someone, then I'd just do it," she said recently. "I don't need to get the marriage stamp on it."
Where not long ago few besides beggars and cows wandered after dark, the son of a leather exporter goes clubbing four nights a week. The long-haired 24-year-old, who requested anonymity, said he once downed a vial of LSD and became convinced he was the Hindu god Shiva. "I was over and done with," he said.
And where older generations view luxury spending as vulgar, Bhavdeep Mehta, 24, a retail manager, has splurged on three cars, a giant flat-screen TV and a $370 cell phone, his sixth upgrade in five years. "Phones go out of fashion very quickly," he said.
