Ever thought about what life is beyond the cubicle where you
spend more than half of your day, or rather I should say half your life only to
become someone. We fight for getting a promotion, fight to put a junior colleague
down and ensure that the person never tries to come up or move ahead of us. We fight
for making an impression to our Boss, we fight to put in our best image forward
to the clients and visitors. Is there more to this or were we just taught to
fight and put the other person down? Or were we taught to play dirty politics
in office to an extent that the other person cannot breathe and decides to
leave.
What are we made of; is what I wonder sometimes? What I was
taught back in school and in days that were cool, is that we are all children
of the same god and that we must all live in peace and harmony and there was
nothing like money. So I wonder today; were those lessons taught to me to be in
a different place? Or is it that the world moved ahead and I lost pace.
Ever stopped back and thought about what are you born for or
what is the purpose of your life? Is it only a vending machine which gives money
or is it something still unknown to me? I am sure this happens to each one of
us at some stage in our life, where the very purpose of your existence is what
you question. The answer to this is still unknown for I feel nothing in this world
is what I own.
Gone are the days of innocent games where we played hide and
seek and running race, for now I even see the children playing video games. The
question still remains unanswered, is it the new human race or yet again is it
only me who has lost pace.
I remember listening to the stories told by my grandmother
and going off to sleep, and feel unfortunate for the young children today; for
they have parents who are only vending machines, machines that are working to
keep pace in this techno savvy becoming world. A world which is giving into the
hands of the growing technology and making man just a toy or a dull boy.
Is this what we are born to do, get education from the best
high school and grab a package that has broken all rules? Facebook, Google,
Infosys are the names that I hear everywhere and humanity is lost in the big
glass buildings of these names.
And hence I question this once again, what is life beyond
the office cubicles
