The optimist
Isn't it joyful?
How our grandparents and parents are aging so gracefully.
The once famous couple of our class are now happily married and parents to
not one but two lovely children.
While some of us are okay taking smaller steps in life and enjoying the
marvels of technology by watching some of the best shows created by the
talented minds of entertainment industry.
Work is getting more challenging.
Bosses are getting involved more than before.
Dimmer vision can be corrected by a single surgery.
Medical advancements for hair treatments and a younger and fuller
skin
Life is more organised, more scheduled and more disciplined.
This dicipline culminates to the monthly credit messages in the account
which pays the EMI's and the bills.
Salaries are more and more is always better isint it?
Newer phones and newer dresses
Now "New" is the constant .
People laugh,explore,enjoy and they share all that on the social media.
It helps you connect,imagine,explore and broaden your horizon to experience
something different and varied.
This "so called race" is not a race.It's a journey where each one
is allowed to have their own pace.You can walk fast or you can walk slow but
the motive is to keep on walking because stopping is not what is
appreciated.Stopping is giving up.Would you like to give up on life just like
that?
Definations of happiness have changes but essence remains the same
Times gets tougher but tough makes you stronger
Memories getting shorter but livelier.
Life forcing you to not just be alive
but also to live life.
Experience things,emotions,places,people like never before like our
forefathers couldn't and embrace the uncertainties with courage and defiance
Life completes a full circle.
The pessimist
Isn't it sad?
How our parents and grandparents are getting older
The once proclaimed school lovers in our class are now parents to two children
While some of us are still busy binge watching the latest season of the "over-hyped" television series over the weekend
Deadlines at work getting stiffer
Bosses turning bossier
Vision turning dimmer
Receding hairlines and that deadly day of spotting the first strand of grey hair
Hitting the gym,hitting the shower,eat and in the car
The 12 hours of corporate slavery which ends up in your bank account at the end of the month.
The new iPhone, the new dress
A new chaos and a new mess
That friend on the Facebook with a BMW
And that one with a posh bunglow
Or the one who takes a vacation to exotic locations every year
The ones who calm down and put their feet down are left behind...
This race this great competitive human race of defeating each other leads us to different destinations...
It leaves some of us on to the heights of the corporate ladders where the ambitious exhilaration gives them pleasure
The others who are unable to balance on this ladder either fall down and succumb to the injuries while those
ahead don't even turn back to give them a helping hand and those who do get the helping hand pull those so called helpers down to go ahead...
The time moved faster than anything in this world
Memories get shorter
Times get tougher
And those ahead in this mad race find themselves left alone for once in life.
Life takes two half circles.
