Just now I received a mail from my dear friend while I was sitting in front of my desktop engrossed in one complex database issue with extremely frustrated customer. Somehow in the middle of the this I gathered some time to check the mail and what can I say,it really touched me.There was a poem(if you say so) with the name "Here I am sitting in my office @ Day/Night".
Immediately I checked google to check whether there were other material-hungry blogs who have already had added this poem in there post and I find lots and lots of them. So what I thought, I also wanted a piece of this in my blog, perhaps my greed overshadowed my rationality.
So,Here it goes…
Here I am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick collage life to strict professional life…...
How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks but then why it gives lesss happiness….
How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe but then why there are less people to use them
How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger But then why there is less hunger…..
Here I am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed…..
How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on but then why there are less places to go on……
How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day but then why its feels like shop is far away…..
How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package but then why there are less calls & more messages……
Here I am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed…..
How a general class journey changed to Flight journey But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment….
How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop but then why there is less time to put it on……….
How a small bunch of friends changed to office mate but then why we always feel lonely n miss those college frnz.….
Here I am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life How it changed….. How it changed……..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it classic of those "College-days-are-best" junk mails. The author of poem( BTW, I think these random lines can not qualify as poem ) is frustrated person, lost passion in life and still leaving in "old" days. May be he is working 101-hours a day or have some unknown serious health problem!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking about my experience and I think same is true of most of us, the current days of work are not those of 'less happiness', ' less hunger', 'less places to go on', 'shop is far away' blah-blah...
Certainly current days are better in almost all the aspect mentioned in big grief document.
On side note: Happiness and pleasure is just a thought, it have nothing to do with college or work life. Not the external factors but the thinking decide if someone if happy or not. Exactly for this reason many people call 'search for happiness' an illusion.
