Reliving...OURSELVES.


Striving extremely hard to make a mark –OUR MARK on this planet, saving every penny we have to buy a new gadget, buying the latest car even if we can’t hold its budget, etc etc...We talk about being successful, rich and a prominent part of today’s economy. Sit back on your chair, take a deep breath and think for a moment -WHY do we want this? WHY do we want a fancy car when a nice in-budget car serves our purpose, WHY we cut our stomach in order to buy the latest gadget when latest will come next week as well...WHAT are we actually trying to achieve when achieving everything that stands in our way isn't enough to suppress our hunger for being satisfied and happy.

      Now, think on the contrary, the last time we were really happy was it the day when we bought the new I Phone or the day when we brought a small gift for our parents which brought tears of happiness in their eyes? Was it when we re-bonded our hair or when we rendered help to an aged person on his attempt to cross a heavy traffic road? Was it when we first got high and tried tequila shots or when one of our friends hugged us tight and said “You don’t have to worry ever, I am standing right beside you no matter what”. I know all of us have experienced these times, times of ups and downs, times of dusk ‘n dawn, times when everything seemed beautiful, times when alcohol was our best friend, times when death seemed an easy option, times when a bear hug from a stranger could melt our hearts, times when we fell in love with ourselves, times when all we could think of was hatred for ourselves...These are the different times we have experienced and absorbed all the way...The cherished moments in our lives never comprise of buying a new gadget but playing that gadget with friends, not rebonding but a compliment from the one we love, not the makeover but the feeling of looking into the mirror and falling in love with ourselves again, not the buying of a new motorbike but the first ride with friends in the mountains...This is LIFE , This is the MARK we actually make, with ambition these feelings should be relived again ‘n again to remind our souls that THIS IS WHO WE ARE............

  1. thought provoking sneha........ but u are not being rational but rationalizing

    if u understand lil bit philosophy , u will get this "human beings are rational creatures, we tend to rationalize things around us for our own convenience, truths and facts difficult to come into terms with..........AND THE BIGGEST RATIONALIZATION OF EM ALL IS the saying that - HUMAN BEINGS ARE RATIONAL CREATURES"

    I endorse the notion of deriving happiness from scintilla .... the ending three lines were superb :)

    1. good thought..!! hunger is good to succeed.. but if a hunger is disturbing your happiness, its kind of inhuman.. we often forget to enjoy the small moments in some stupid things which rejoice us, and keep on spending money to find it .. and you can never.......

  5. Am not much a reader..but as far as i read this article..i would like to say, the way you convey the idea is nice... v.nice.. keep it up!! ... There is a small suggestion from my part..idea you tried to cherish via this passage is common philosophical thought..yet it's great..i agree. Simply observe your new corporate life...your colleagues life...the way you wanna face the hurdles in achieving aims and leading a great life... just observe the world and incorporate those thoughts which can be moulded into some innovative ideas and depicted in upcoming articles.. that's my small suggestion..because you have got a good skill.. hope you will try this.. :-) .. All the best.. let the pinnacle come to you and wish a luck :-)
