Mrs mellifluous: City life... a fresh revise!!!

The mechanized metro life leaves us with little liberty to act as per our will. The five minute delay in waking up results in either improper intake of food or sometimes no breakfast at all. An extra minute with the newspaper in the morning and we miss our scheduled bus and are sure shot late for work. In reality we daily witness a defined time to eat, pray, love, work and sleep. Life has become so watertight that even a minute laxity holds a capacity to disturb our eco system. The little buffer that some of us are able to have is also completely on the mercy of others. Less people in the queue at bus stop, appropriate change with the ticker counter guy, no traffic jams and good mood of the boss at work are some of the many. Interestingly we all assume that the whole setup is normal and succumb to this preset world by choice

The above is not the story of only weekdays. Weekends are sometimes worst than that. Things are mechanized there too. A random plan of dinner on weekends is simply out of question. Every chosen restaurant requires a ample waiting. Malls are jam-packed, multiplexes are houseful without a prior booking and parking area is endless. The worst is the heavy traffic which all has to encounter no matter what.

So in this fast running metro life where every breath is measured and every second counts and also costs it is really a difficult job to enjoy life in a conventional way. Everyday is a huge struggle to find our own space and a peace of mind. There is the constant fear of not in pace with this world. Mobile phones, internet apps, facebook timeline, twitter updates etc have just added so much pressure in our every day life. Everything has become E-oriented: E-mail, E-cards, E-shopping, E-books etc. We in fact live dual life altogether: the happening E-life and the not so happening real life.

It is said that life has a unique attribute that we somehow find an alternative to every hurdle of our life in an innate way. So friends lets find an alternative to this too and start having a life out of this robot life. We cannot change everything but can amend some. A small change can bring out huge differences. Let us start by making some real connections instead of the electronic one, let us talk in person instead of electronic chatting. Let us at least try to break free from this mechanized world. Let us earn 10% less and live 20% more. Let us not fear from planning a vacation with folks or taking a small break. Why not start enjoying a new hobby. It is not late yet, it is just the beginning. Lets not be slaves of our future needs, let us be the master of today. We must make this new generation realize that having 100 friends on facebook means nothing if we don’t have the 10 memorable moments of enjoyment spent together. Let us give time to our loved ones instead of just complains and frustration. Come on people stop pleasing your boss for a while and start greeting your kith and kin with smile.

Let us walk in the grass and dance in the rain.
