Life is moving so fast now a days that its very difficult to even remember what date or day is today(Day's are quite simple to remember as we start our count down from Monday morning, hard to forget you see). There was a time when twenty fours of a days were too long for us. Coming back from school we had enough time to have our lunch at home... See some stupid serial called "Swabhimaan" and catch an hour's sleep. get up and quickly finish home work so that we can run out and play some sports or may be just do chit chat with friends. Had enough time even after all that play to come fight with your sibling when your father was watching news on the TV. Have peaceful dinner and watch some TV. Still enough time to check the time table and keep your books in bag accordingly. Polish your shoes (rarely done).
And here we are today running around saying 24hrs a day is just not enough. Our running starts right in the morning to cook food or boil milk or even to take bath and then get ready while running around the house searching this and that to be picked up before you set out for office.
Dont even get time to tie the watch peacefully ( I do that in the lift).
Where are we running to... Whats so much hurrying all about... God knows b'coz at the end of the day I dont feel I achieved anything great in the whole day. It was just another day doing the same old work. And does that work make a better person or the world a better place to live in... Well good question but better left unanswered...
Is this what i dreamt of doing when i was growing up? No definitely not. Well my dream profession used to change in every summer holidays (coz thats the time when we would be coming up with all there bizzare ideas of what to do).
Guess too melodramatic a thought to be written more... I better stop now....
