The conking of Ranjan Das

Aujourd'hui est le troisième Décembre 2009
Thanks Ravi for pushing me to get rolling with a blog. So here you are :
I wanted to start with Ranjan :
Serials, seasons and episodes like Ranjan Das has a constant occurrence and substantiates my analysis, perceptions and observations. What Ranjan accomplished was through sheer hard work and determination - to make it happen. All of us dream but few can attain what Ranjan could. After all accomplishment is just like being pregnant - everybody congratulates you but nobody knows how many times you were screwed or raped ______________

We all want to have a dream and achieve it. We all want to become big. We all want to live our dream. Nothing wrong with that thought. After working hard for a X no of years and achieving what one dreamt _The time then comes to jump off the fast track.

The dilemma with us humans is that we don’t know when to stop. How much does a man require to lead a good life? [ a place of your own, a car, your house comfortably designed, your family, good friends, pursuing your dreams which is apart from your corporate dreams….and fulfilling them, a sense of achievement and above all a debt free life....} But then again we need to go on – even if our inner voice tells us to drop out of this race – probable because we ourselves become so in secured (even after all that achievements) or perhaps our surrounding eggs us on. Maybe we men think that our identity is established only when we work (the chair and the position becomes that person and somewhere the person himself is lost) and that we become a nobody the very day we stop going to office……

One can also dream of hanging one’s boot and telling the world ‘ I do nothing!’
And perhaps live a life devoted to family, see your kids wake up and go to sleep, see your kids grow, look after and give time to your and your wife’s parents, see also those great movies that one never had the time, go to a theatre, read those books lying in the shelves, learn to play the guitar, learn to cook, work for the benefit of human__ have a ball !

A part of our life goes away in our education, a part goes away in making our career, in building our infrastructure, in achieving our dreams and aspirations, in building our family, etc., a part should also be there to enjoy the 1st two parts that we worked hard for and achieved - and lastly a part should be left to die in peace.

Are we living our life or are we living for those 30 or 40 odd and weird contacts that we carry in our cell phone?

At the end ...and I have always wondered...is it really (really) worth it? For what use is it, if you have it all - and not be there to enjoy it?

Sorry you had to read all that rubbish - but one always has an option -
Cheers
