Life now and before
I sometimes think of the life of the people of the modern day..... so fast, so hectic.... not a single minute is available to them for leisure.... and i think, where is man going to??
God has given everyone a limited number of years to live, but it seems from day 1, man is in a hurry.... even 2 legs are short for him and wants wings to fly.... Hasn't he done a lot..... invented modern day cars to speed-up transportation, invented cellphones to talk to others.. to save the precious time.... uses computers to speed up his work and carry it out in a jiffy.... yet despite so many gizmos, man is never free of tensions.... is always moving here and there in this competitive world to enahance his individuality, thus making this already competitive world, even more competitve..
I sometimes think about the good old days, when there were no cars, no mobiles, no computers and even no TV.... people used to be hard working, but enjoyed their life as well... They used to work from morning to evening, but enjoying their siesta and then in the evening they would visit the communal gathering or the choupal to crack jokes and enjoy limericks under the trees.... It used to be great where people could discuss their problems and be active in the group.... they had a life and the problems in their lives were comparatively lesser..... But in the modern day world, people are extremely busy with their chores, and seldom get any time to communicate with each other, visit each other....
Another thing is that due to the simple life-style earlier, people used to do labourous work and ate simple food.... but now, with fast moving locomotives, less time to take care of their health, people are more prone to health-related issue like obesity (i don't say that for all.... but on a larger scale).
Where are we going to??? The cities have become so polluted and noisy that even after u reach ur home, the honking of the cars and buses keeps ur ear-drums vibrating.... and u feel as though u will be overcome by mental fatigue... With so many vehicles and much more junta on the road, the cities have become over-crowded and u seldom find even a foot's space to stand....
Sometimes, i feel that the gud ol' days..... are long gone and we are all in a race..... a race for survival, a race for struggle.... where lagging is not an option... but what do u finally win, even if u win... a life spent in winning that race.... that's all !!
