The results of certain coaching institutes were out. My uncle was getting worked up about deciding which coaching institute would be better for his girl who was in 7th standard. Which coaching institute would be the best one? Which one would best help in realizing her (or rather his) dream of getting into the premier colleges of the country?
Like him everyone around seem to have become cog in this machine for future production of career for their children. Everyone looks to be in a hurry. Each is rushing to colleges, work places and roads seem to be ever rushing tributaries of traffic. All are dashing through life with feet firmly pressing the accelerator. Zooming from one milestone to the other, life has come to resemble distant scenery that we occasionally glimpse in the rear view mirror. With our eyes firmly trained towards the road ahead, we hurry on and on and on without the faintest clue about where we are going as we are in a tearing hurry to even look at the signboards that probably read- stop, take a deep breath and enjoy the freshness of life.
In our rush, our life is resembling a things-to-do list. In the race towards good, better and best, we are constantly pushing ourselves to attain the next level of worldly heaven. In fact due to the stressful life in the present times, we are more forgetful, sleep-deprived and our bodies are crumbling under the pressure of progress. Gradually our mental and physical health will sure become casualties to the hurry virus. An inherent restlessness is being caused due to the belief that life really is all about survival of the fittest. It is almost like believing that if you do not pile your plate with everything from the buffet table and eat it as fast as possible, your food will actually spring wings and fly away. This mad rush is the very cause of the rise in health problems among youngsters and frustrating relationships.
We dream of an ideal world but that always clashes with reality. We want to be a complete success not realizing that success is elusive. We are leading an extremely mechanical life, where feelings are just distractions that we can do without. This leads to depression as people do not know what they seek.
Don’t know whether my views would make any difference, but to whoever who cares to listen, I just want to tell them - don’t lose out on the splendour of life. Learn to enjoy the little things in life. Kya patha kal ho na ho…

i surely agree with ur thinking abt todays life style. As how people have become a mear cog in the machine, one really doesnt have time for one own self forget the others, he or she rather doesnt realise that sucess is with in one own self that he or she has to rather stop and realise that wat ever they r so far in life, looking back as wat they have been though,rising through all the obstacles.Take a deep breath and realise that there is more to life that simply achving materialistic things. Live the moment, saviour it for wat u have fought so hard,enjoy that if u dont then there is no meaning in fighting for it and grinding ur nose so hard on the stone. Look around and enjoy others sucess and lend a shoulder for ones failur as it teaches us wat pain is and with out that one can never realy know wat sucess is
It looks like ur own experience... but tell me how many ppl do realize dat dey live a mechanical life? 90% of dem dont do the jobs they wish 2 do... rt now da situation is like... the world revolves around money... u need money 2 survive, 2 enjoy, 2 b happy... nd ur rapacious desire has no limits for wealth. In my opinion, one can find atleast a minute happy moment in his day-2-day life... if u are able 2 live happily with dat slight happiness, dats no less than living in utopia... "Kya patha kal ho na ho…"
anywys GREAT WORK dude... put me in thoughts for quite some time...
