Thoda hai aur Thode ki hi Zaroorat Hai.....We have enough but always long for more (Kind of Thoda hai Bahut ki Zaroorat Hai), and in our pursuit of the worldly, materialistic pleasures, we always miss the small things in life, around us.
Few months back, I was talking to my brother in law on his B'day and my views on that conversation are hunting me till today, so thought to make it way on my Blog. We were just in general talk, how we used to celebrate B'days 10-15 years back. We always use to enjoy simple pleasure of Life. Life was so simple and the more I think on this, the more I realize the simplicity of life we had back then in 90s. People were not as sophisticated as today. Having a decent job, a house and a good Husband/ Wife was everyone’s ultimate dream. It was a time when getting a government job was considered as a big achievement. A time when having a TV at home was a luxury, but having less option on channels to watch. And then new era of Computers and Internet and mobile phones was introduced with less connectivity with everyday life. There was time to connect with friends and family, Life was little stressful and easy going. But desire was not less and it was always grown to achieve more.
Not that things are not good now. In fact, I would say things have changed for better and we live in a much better society now. Our generation is more ambitious, more confident, high flying with better opportunities, better lifestyles, more comfortable living. I will say, in a way, life has settled into a sort of a routine. There is always something to do, and there isn’t enough time. At the same time, there is always a feeling that not enough is being done. Every single person is running to get one and other thing or to achieve goal in Life and in that,somewhere we forgot to see Happiness in small things.
Life is indeed beautiful, and lets enjoy each moment of it... and let's be satisfy with whatever little we have :)
