Its 3.34 PM, to be precise 3.34.23.. 24…25…26, every second looked like it was lazy to do its routine work. Felt like time was playing tricks on me.. Groundhog Day effect. I was bored today, totally bored didn’t know what to do after the class. For time pass I was watching Richie Rich, a cartoon series… today, on the so called ‘yesteryears most happening thing’.. You tube. The story revolved around riche’s dog Dollar being kidnapped by a cunning villain & how riche on time saves his best friend/pet by airdropping money on the bad character.
I had laugh, a boisterous one. I wished it for once it was real, or may be… me being in riche’s shoes :) Ya you are right!! I was wondering why we are so fascinated by unreal stories…. Be it Neo in matrix, superman, Spiderman, Krishh, Mr. India & even riche rich…. Whatever it be your fascination for ideal things…
The reality is far farrr away from truth, be it in our bollywood movies or even our daily soaps where you have family dramas. Making minor things look huge, many repeated replays that too in different angles. Where the main character faces all the trouble in the world and still never revolts. The ideal wife, husband ya some other character you can think off. Whom are we fooling…ourselves isn’t it.
It hard to accept that we are really ‘Ideal’ worshipers. We want to be the hero & heroine look alike, don’t we... For an example as a naïve guy you would want an eight pack… OK lets settle for something less may be six pack, but nothing less than that. An MBA grad wanting 7 digit salaries that’s the least that he can even think of working for. He/she would rather stay unemployed but never work for the disparaging 6 digits salary.
Thinking about it, I find it really confusing. Is it in really in our human nature or the society we live in?? all I can say is, I donno the answer…. Hope you can come up with one…

Answer my friend lies in Contentment :)
ReplyDeleteRecession forced people to leave job leave apart 7 figure salaries ;) so i guess one should feel content with what he has but should always look for positive growth :)
Dude the parameters and boundaries which most people follow are set by the society and what we percieve aas "right". What people don't know realise that they have to stop and think about the ideals and paths they have to follow. The answer lies within ourselves :)
