times.. they are a changing...
Written on Tuesday, January 15, 2008 by Siddharth PV
Sunday was a really sobering day…
It all started when a friend asked.. so, what's new in life?
That really set me thinking..
Well, how does one really answer that question?
I mean so much stuff happens daily.. everyday its a new scene in office..
Somebody screws up.. someone or the other ends up making a fool out of himself..
Har roz kuch na kuch kaand hota rehta hai…
But what really kicked me up was the realization that … life is indeed changing really fast…
And that too very subtly… before you know it… yet another 'given' from your erstwhile schedule gets knocked off.. and the worst part is.. it happens so surreptiously.. that you will never realize that things changed so much.. and so dramatically!
Ek zamaana tha.. we all used to go for lunch together…
There would be a multi-cast… and a group of 20 would go for lunch together..
But nowadays.. that hardly happens… we all go separately.. reason being
'KAAM HAI….
When was the last time jab Friday ko sab log saath me bahar gaye the…???
I cant remember! In fact nowadays, I am in office till 9 30.. especially on Fridays!
Its almost as if I cant think of anything better to do!
Now you can look at this in two ways –
The optimist in me says – Dude… you love your work!
The realist however wishes to point out – Dude… you have lost control of your social life… btw, do you have a social life left?
At this juncture I am reminded of chachi's words –
'Jab hum log tumhari tarah naye naye aaye the.. toh hum log bhi bahut baar bahar gaye the… but ab who sab band ho gaya hai…'
And damn! I hate to say it.. but her words are almost coming true.. :(
But I am hopeful… things will get better…. Especially because now I have spotted the problem… and as they say, the first step towards solving a problem is to identify it!
So, insha allah, things will be better in the time to come… and we wont lose our enthusiasm and will continue to have fun…. :)
