In this period of
rapid industrialization and IT revolution,
in this period of 
large-scale job opportunities,
in this period of
massive inflow of people especially the youth  
from the remote areas to take up jobs 
in different reputed institutions,
in this period 
the youth are running pillar to post
in search of accommodation facilities 
somewhere, somehow in the suburbs 
at a time the ‘pregnant’ city is likely to explode  
and its inability to beckon each one into her lap
the only choice left to the new entrants
is to grease the palms of the real estate brokers 
who find certain areas in the outskirts of the city 
or the areas outside the city limits for these youth. 
The youth who are aliens 
will have to get accustomed 
with the unaccustomed city, its outskirts 
and beyond the outskirts 
to cope up with their difficulties 
so that an implosion as well as explosion is avoided
and the youth learning to lead 
a life on this ‘unaccustomed earth’ to earn a living.
