Saw this movie last week end, found it a bit lengthy yet it ascertains the fact that we do actually have one life to live. Who wouldn’t want to live for the moment and make the most of it, but is it realistically possible in a world where you have so much to cater to and live almost like a machine.
A machine that gets up in the morning does some work at home goes to office, comes back in the evening , watch the idiot box with same moron serials or a movie and doze off to sleep This thing is repeated day after day and with a blink of an eye weeks turn into months and then years. You have two days as a week end which goes in doing some pending work and rest in Malls. When you look around you have to meet a standard which is already set, you have to adjust and make your way whether you like it or not. Whenever there is a festival, or any event the roads are blocked and it’s you who has to maneuver your way out in spite of all the sulking.
When you run through the day you hardly realize that the day has gone by with nothing fruitful done and on top of it you were not able to take up the extra task that you thought you could take up. The lifestyle has become so fast that today I can’t watch any movie more than two hours, it’s just difficult to concentrate that much and I get restless. I prefer to eat at McDonald’s or KFC than sit in a restaurant and wait for the orders due to time constraint.
Everyone expects you to do things quickly from the Project Manager to you yourself who expects a service. Even when it comes to teaching kids I have seen people getting agitated when they have to teach them anything more than once. You try and put everyone in the same bracket and equate everything.
Needless to say that you have a responsibility whose weight you have to take all your life. You simply can’t open your eyes and feel yourself lighter. Responsibility is actually very ironic, with time it only increases and increases. Many would say females have more responsibilities than men but then when you sit down to think about it and analyze it you would realize it’s not true. Most of the times you find yourself revolving around that centre called responsibility.
Tell me how many of us can pick up bags and go out on a trip to another continent. Forget about the other continent, how about a place near about your state. Wouldn’t it be difficult? There are so many constraints money to begin with and rest follows. Today scenario in many household has become such that a Maid Servant decides when you are going out and if she doesn’t turn up your day is screwed for some reason or the other.
You tend to feel that you need more and more money to have access to the word like happiness and peace of mind and perhaps that’s the reason where you try to take up work which gives you more money so you can have a Euro Trip in some phase of our life.
When it comes to me, I would love to be in a place where there is no time constraint where I plan my day at my own will. For eg, today the weather is fabulous a bit cloudy, drizzling with wind blowing gently over the face. Wish I could roam around or sit in the balcony with a cup of tea. See even a simple task like this is not possible as I am in office.
