Where are we heading for ????? - contd....

First of all, I am very thankful to all those who took time and viewed my blog and gave me comments to encourage my writing.

So, as I mentioned in my first article, it is going to be a series since expressing your childhood experiences and cherish those memories cant be just put in to few pages....while I write this, I can recall a few very good lines (sung by Jagjit Singh)

"Yeh daulat bhi le lo, yeh shauhrat bhi le lo...bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawani...magar mujhko lauta do bachpan ka sawan...woh kagaz ki kashti woh bareesh ka pani"

These are very touching lines which actually denotes that all of us are so desperate with our current life style and the way things are happening around us...that we really want to go back to our childhood days....and even ready to give up every belonging we have....this is really superb.

We enjoyed every bit of our childhood....

we never fall ill even we had golgappas from the street hawker....
we never fall ill even we played in dust and made homes...
we had kacche ber....lal imli...kamrak....budiya ke baal or na jane kya kya....
never slept in AC and even slept without the mosquito net...but not fallen ill because of mosquito bite...
not got so many vaccinations...but have been very healthy till now....
no electricity especially in evening....means great fun of life....
had quarreled with our fellow friends....but our parents never came in between....
the neighbourhood uncle gave Rs.5/- and brought his milk and had a great sense of pride that we have helped someone.
stolen lot of amroods/gulab ke phool and kache aam...from trees and got scolding as well...but forgotten everything...when looked at our achievements....WOW....

Holli the colour of festival....no one stopped us to put colour and water
But now.........everything has been changed......there is no feeling of intimacy, no sense of camaraderie for each other....what has happened to us....whereas all of a sudden people have become richer and have lot of amenities to provide more comforts....our lives would have been better with these extra gadgets and advancement of technology...........but sorry to say...today we have everything with us...lot of channels on TV...video game....MC D burger...Pizza, we can afford AC....but we are not happy...WHY........lets do introspection deep in our heart and try to find out...what actually went wrong and everything has been changed so drastically....eventhough we have more money and other facilities with us today....but no PEACE...

Where are we heading for ?????

It is my first ever blog and I have natural instict towards writing and expressing my feelings. For the first time, I shall be sharing with the other people after I wrote an article during my Journalism diploma for inhouse newsletter and of course my diary has been a very compassionate companion to absorb all my feelings throught out.

Yesterday, I was just chatting with some of my friends and we all were cherishing our fond memories of sweet childhood; the way we spent. The question which comes to our mind is, do our children also get the similar opportunities to enjoy their childhood and grow up with our basic ethics, values which would make them a better human being....to my mind and all of you would agree....the answer to this question is NO.

When we know and agree it is No, then what are we doing to reverse the time and go back in our time, allow our children also to enjoy their life, child hood and grow up as a complete human being with good friends around.

I shall take this up issue with lot of people and would seek everyone's comment and inputs on that. This write up would in series and this is a series One.

I strongly believe in team work and getting people together who think alike and support each other towards the common objective...lets also contribute from our side on lot of such issues which really need our attention and participation to make our society and country livable for our future generations as well.
