Really worth worth worth to read once,, twice, trice………………………………….

 

 

 

 

Yesterday, I was

driving, and the FM radio went off for few seconds. I thought, I should

have an iPod. Then suddenly I realized that I have not used my iPod in

last 6 months. And then… more things, Handy cam in last 2 years, Digital

Camera in last 2 months, DVD player in last 1 month and many more. Now

I can say that I bought that Handy cam just out of impulse, I have used

it twice only in last 4 years.

 

 

So, whats wrong and where? When I look at myself or my friends I can see

it everywhere.We are not happy with what we have but all are stressed and

not happy for the things we don’t have. You have a Santro, but you want

City… You have a City, but you want Skoda. Just after buying a new phone,

we need another one. Better laptop, bigger TV, faster car, bigger house,

more money… .I mean, these examples are endless. The point is, does it

actually worth? Do we ever think if we actually need those things before

we want them?

 

 

After this, I was forced to think what I need and what I don’t. May be

I didn’t need this Handy cam or the iPod or that DVD player. When I see

my father back at home. He has a simple BPL color tv, he doesn’t need

32″

Sony LCD wall mount. He has a cellphone worth Rs 2,500. Whenever I ask

him to change the phone, he always says… “Its a phone, I need this

just for calls.†And believe me; he is much happier in life than me with

those limited resources and simple gadgets. The very basic reason why

he is happy with so little is that he doesn’t want things in life to

make it luxurious, but he wants only those things which are making his

life easier. It’s a very fine line between these two, but after looking

my father’s life style closely, I got the point. He needs a cell phone

but not the iPhone. He needs a TV but not the 32″

plasma. He needs a car but not an expensive one.

 

 

Initially I had lot of questions.

 

I am earning good, still I am not happy…...why

?

 

I have all luxuries, still I am stressed........... why

?

 

I had a great weekend, still I am feeling tired...... why?

 

I met lot of people, I thought over it again and again, I still don’t

know if I got the answers, but certainly figured out few things. I realize

that one thing which is keeping me stressed is the “stay connectedâ€

syndrome. I realized that, at home also I am logged in on messengers, checking

mails, using social networks, and on the top of that, the windows mobile

is not letting me disconnected. On the weekend itself, trying to avoid

unwanted calls… and that is keeping my mind always full of stress. I

realized that I am spending far lesser money than what I earn, even then

I am always worried about money and more money. I realized that I am saving

enough money I would ever need, whenever needed. Still I am stressed about

job and salary and spends.

 

 

May be, many people will call this approach “not progressive attitude“,

but I want my life back. Ultimately it’s a single life, a day gone

is a day gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I’ll never be

happy tomorrow morning. I finally realized that meeting friends, spending

quality time with your loved one’s; spending time with yourself is the

most important thing. If on Sunday you are alone and you don’t have anybody

to talk with, then all that luxuries life, all that money is wasted. May

be cutting down your requirements, re-calculating your future goal in the

light of today’s happiness is a worthwhile thing to do. May be selling

off your Santro and buying Honda City on EMIs is not a good idea. I believe

putting your happiness ahead of money is the choice we need to make.

I think, a lot can be said and done but what we need the most is re-evaluation

of the value of happiness and time we are giving to our life and people

associate with it.

 

People need socializing the same way they grown up.Only thing everyone

miss in aboard is the India.

Excellent retrospection ,sir! I feel it is not only " stay connected syndrome" but a sort of conflict - what we think we are today is not the same as what others think about us after reading this i have evaluated my own life and anaylsed my own sitauation indeed i have looked upon my life and found so much which i thought i wont find truly this is a light that is guiding me to a new road to self satisfaction and happiness..
