Having spent two years in IT industry ,away from my home town, i have started realizing the value and importance of precious moments one spends with friends and family.Those playful school days,those amazing evenings spent with friends in college, all those moments visit me again and again these days.May be i am missing the liveliness of those moments or the child-like innocence involved in them.
These days,i am trying to engage myself in multiple activities;Along with job i am preparing for MBA,a 1 hour gym schedule is already in place followed by 1 hour of table tennis with friends.Weekends are spent going to friends’ place,inviting them over to mine.No one would say this is a monotonous life yet,it is.Somehow there is a feeling that i am not enjoying it,just doing for sake of it,there is no ‘me’ involved in it.But i can’t blame anyone else for it,its actually due to IT work environment or so i feel.A 10-11 hour desk job ,constant contact with computers,smartphones have actually taken out the fun element in my life.I would not like to sound as a complete pessimist but i would just like to bring out the cons of a desk job.
Back in childhood days i used to laugh and laugh heartily but now a mere expansion of jaw muscles is more than enough.Those were the days when i would pester my grandma to give me Rs 5 so that i can have that vanilla ice cream in hot summer evenings.Boy,i still remember that taste.Summer vacations were welcomed by open arms because that was a time of no homework,playing cricket with friends all day long,no exams,kite flying ,no strict timetable of getting up at 7 in morning and going to bed by 10:30 and etc etc.Now i have a well paid job in metro,it gives me enough money to fulfill my material needs and indulge in some partying,i do go out with friends to some good restros’ and enjoy their delicious menus but that liveliness is missing.I don’t know if this is with me or with others also.All this makes me wonder has life in metro lost all its elements or people have just accepted this as their life ? I just wonder from where does happiness comes in here.
