Its a busy age. Life is too fast, too hectic now unlike the olden days, the days of youth of our parents and elders where people had time for each other, had time for talks, had time for fun, had time for all special moments, and most importantly- all these moments were minus disruptions!
Most of us love the age we live in, specially since life is so damn easy. Every item required is a click away, be it food or groceries or clothing or gifts, name it and it is just there ready for you, everyone is just a phone call or video call away whether they live in the neighbourhood lane or the neighbourhood country or at the other end of the world, click the call button and they are there.
The older generation keeps expressing their disbelief to these newer and newer ways which sometimes bring joy and sometimes surprise or further sometimes even bring anguish. True, the new age technology has succeeded in bringing the better out of us, extended higher prospects of growth, provided ease of life; but inturn has led to super-high level of expectations against performance, overambitious goals against growth, and lifelessness in life against ease of life. Human life span has reduced, diseases have increased, minds are messed and hearts fussed.
A happy life is about very simple things like food to eat, place to live, clothes for body cover and love among family and friends. But amidst all the fast paced events, amidst the race for wealth & fame we miss out to enjoy these very simple essentials. Yet...yet there are some moments in life when all these riches and popularity fail to replace the basic amenities of happiness...in such situations all the heart wants is to throw away everything, hide from the world and run over to the loved ones and live life in the simplest possible way.
Everything said above is just what everyone knows but just needs to be taken seriously, not just to be waved off. I do not suggest that you stop aiming high for wealth and fame or stop using technology to achieve your goals, I am just wishing and hoping that you wouldn't miss the small events of happiness that come your way on those unexpected moments in the unexpected paths from unexpected sources.
On this note a few lines just for you...
दिल मसरूफियत में भी बुनता है ख़्वाबों का जहाँ
चाहे ये समेटना अपनी सुनहरी बाहों में पूरा समा
जिंदगी की रफ़्तार चाहे हो जितनी तूफानी और तेज़
मुकम्मल खुशियों की खोज में जलती है हर वक़्त साँसों की शमा
Know when to stop and enjoy life....
Know when to move on and still enjoy.....
Love life... live life as it comes. Cheers!!!
Very nice..
