Gazing the computer screen point blank i wonder sometimes that what do one actually wants from life...is it the money ...the social status...is it the authority or just being happy in whatever u have done or will do... sometimes i wonder what so fussy about the global economic crisis...there are times when economics get into a phase of meltdown..but however in the future it would get back...but what would not is the loss of human ideology and human resource...
what is the need of that pile of monetary reserve when the life is just so damn confined and proactive...u never know when your time is up... this thought is laying in my head more than i expected it too.. which originated after the recent 26/11 Mumbai attacks..
There everybody was with a sense of stillness in the air ... nobody can say it did not affected there life in some or the other way...though i know there are people who did not gave a damn but then i do not categories them as humans. whether it was the periodic tasks or usual day to day work everybody felt a low from whatever happened. I was browsing through the list on the net of the people who lost their lives and apart from the security forces ( hats of and my utmost respect for them), there were common people too... and those who stayed at Taj or trident were obviously cream of the economy... and that is when i realized money can get you social power and authority but not the physical or emotional power. Death does not see you as the classes made by the society nor does it proclaims you ...it just comes ..
There were big businessmen ,bureaucrats,politicians,journalist and other powerful personalities who had fame , power and money but were not they equal in terms of meeting there end...?
There was Ratan Tata ( he is like one of the ideal businesman in the eyes of the people) who owns Taj but the truth remains life has its way in everything.
So now am dumbstruck by hearing the news that terrorists just did this for money as its the key motivator, but what does money bestowes u with? Just simple luxuries and commodities. I do not deny its important.. but according to me its not at all the means of life!
Enrolled for the CAT 09 lately and while reading articles there just one thing in common Just simple as it gets 'Money'. Why running all your life after it when it cant satisfy you on a whole? moreover more money has its side effects which everybody knows.
Yesterday i went for a late night show and the only thing i remember after waking up is just the feeling of being moved last night...not because of the movie..but because of the national anthem and visuals shown before the movie as a mark of respect.
I had the last row seat therefore i witnessed what many did not..n that was patriotism is small knooks and corners . Saw everyone as a whole standing together making me feel finally somehwere proud of Being Indian.Though i said knooks and corners as half of them were talking and attending mobile calls( that was way important for them) and chirping,but then i did saw faces which truly displayed respect and affection for our countrymen matyrs and people. There was a toddler being shown and explained how soldiers fight for our safety by a father i the row next to mine,there was a 5 year old crappled boy who still stood still instead of being handicapped,there were senior citizens too who were standing ... and then alas there were some who just stood because they were forced too. however it still taught me humanity is still left and can be multiplied.I dont know the means for this change to happen but what i know is the day we divide our needs on the basis of humanity and not just monetarily we can hope a change.
Atleast I do so.And i hope for the best for others.
