money,money everywhere!

I was talking to a 7-year old kid yesterday and asking her about her best friends, her favorite teacher and all about her new toys. Then I asked her a usual question, 'What do you want to become after you grow up?' She quickly replied to my answer that she wants to become rich, buy a bungalow and a car. I was shocked to hear that answer as I thought she would possibly reply that she wants to become a doctor, engineer or may be an actress. I was thinking when I was her age all I could think about was about playing ghar-ghar with my friends. Then I realized how our homes have become a corporate company where all that people do is to earn money and shower upon their darling kids. Then in this whole process the only thing the kids would learn is to how important money is in their lives. If we have money we have friends, expensive cars, following the latest trends what else do we need? Then they start doing the same thing as they grow up and this becomes a part of their family ancestry. In this modern age, who cares to pass on the morals?In this fast moving generation if you dare to work without pay people would start saying, when you know you have talent then why do it for free? Is my talent kept for sale in the market or what?

 My parents still keep repeating their stories of struggle as to how they walked miles and miles to go to school  and also supported their families by doing all the household work. I just get irritated and walk off but there is a huge difference between 'us' & 'them'. They never worked to enjoy all the luxuries of life but what about 'us'? We start weaving dreams of living in luxurious bungalows and driving a BMW even before we get our first pay in hand. Aren't we becoming greedy?

They work to provide us for all our needs but we work to get all the latest designer clothes and have food in the best restaurants in town. 

So are we just fulfilling our needs or following our greed?

Back on track

Playing monopoly,eating junk food, sleeping and listening to music is all what I'm doing for the past one week. It was an interesting week. But I've missed my piano lessons, left reading books and done nothing useful. Something has changed in this whole process? What's it? Is it me? Or my life?

I just realized there is a whole lot of difference in how you want your life to be and how it actually turns out to be. I always thought I'm a very ambitious person and won't get deviated from my goals for anything. But there comes a phase in life when life just gets derailed from the right track when all you can think of is just sleeping,eating and having fun.

I always thought that don't care attitude is so good because I never had it. But now I realize I have become so numb to everything. I don't care what I'm doing. I don't care where my life is going or why am I wasting time on such things. I just feel sick when I think about my this attitude. It seems I'm blindfolded and I'm just walking and it would ultimately end up in some pit. And this don't care attitude just sucks.

As people always tell me to keep moving on in life. I feel there is no use of keep moving on in life without a hint where you are gonna end up. So as I've realized that everything's messed up. It's time to mend things or at least try doing it. I don't want my life to be pitied by someone but become an example as to how to reach the ultimate dream.
