Life is hard to comprehend; even
harder is when life treats and tears you in some mysterious ways. Even though
this so-called life is but a short one, it’s full of complex thing to
understand and fathom. Some treats this life seriously; some casually; some
takes it with ease, some wastes it with all the ill and wrong doings; some
takes it for granted but the crux and cusp of all these is that we all are part
of it and we can’t avoid taking its toll.
At this juncture, when you almost
cross twenties and embark into the 30’s zone, when you are just finding root
for your career; when you are just beginning to start so-called family; when
you are beginning to sort out what makes you happy and what is best for another
half of your life; when you actually get the taste of everything; in short when
everything happens at a time is but the most critical phase of life I
think. If you are not careful, you risk
that exposure and the experiences to a chance of getting hay wired.
People that I know well and even
remotely often ask me what am I up to, how my life is going and where friends
of my caliber are and all. Well, as a matter of fact some have become business
tycoon, some industrious engineers and doctors, some promising journalists,
some aspiring politicians, most of them happy parents and most of us doing JUST
fine and surviving. If we are doing just fine, then it’s all well and good
because at the end this is what matters right? They are often shocked you know
because to some, money and materialistic world is all they care. They eat,
pray, live and shit with this mantra. That’s why we even see people trying so
hard to stick to their job even at the cost of cheating their ages. Age and our
body just can’t lie you know.
Five years of my career life has
taught and opened my eyes to so many sad realities and bitter truths. The corporate
world that we often say isn’t always as we thought or expects it to be. Yes life is hard when you have to depend entirely
on dry salary at the end of month and half of that goes to the house owner as
rent. Yes it is hard when you have to bear the responsibilities of whole family
including distant relatives; yes life is difficult and saddening when you can’t
fulfil the dreams of not just yourself but your parents as well, yes it is
frustrating when things don’t come along nice and smooth; yes we f**king like
to commit some grave crimes when you feel cheated and the bosses around bothers
you, but, but at the end of day you know what the beauty is? Satisfaction! The fact
that you end up being sublime; bearing with few slanting rays of hope despite
all the odds and you manage to overcome in it-self is but huge achievement and
a satisfaction. Yes nobody is going to give shit about this entirety but it’s
all worth for you; through these hurdles do we know the value of hard earned fruit.
The fruit tasted out of much sweat and perspiration is way too sweeter!
But then of course the saga of
so-called struggles and strivings continue for this is what life is after all.
