Chilling Prospect…

I just happened to say hello to a friend who just returned from office and it suddenly struck me to as my friend ” how long are we going to be like this??,

friend- like what??,

Me- Like this, rudderless, aimlessly going to office in the morn and coming home dead and tired in the evening and thats meant to be life….

the pal was too tired to answer and i suggested a cool shower , good dinner and sleep….and I was left alone with my thoughts of doomsday which seems like every single day, are we doomed to be buried in our places of work ( dungeons ) , are we as a human race born to work alone?? work /make money/work make more money…..maybe stuck in our circumstances we are the slaves to the “Yoke of our Desires”.

I remember the opening sequence of a particular Tamil movie i watched ” Evno Oruvan” it was titled starring Madhavan and I think it was directorial debut or something of that sort, the movie opens with a shot in fast forward of the man waking up brushing his teeth as his family also wakes up, the struggle for the municipality water, his wife cooking food for his office lunch box and for the kids lunch boxes and he rushing through his shower and pooja and then waiting for the local train and goign to office , work, lunch break, his cup of tea near that particular tea stall, seeing the same beggar..back home….so on and so forth and all this is shown in fast forward repeating again and again as in a loop ……and it sacred me to think thats what my life is going to be- one continous loop of the same things everyday- and that is the chilling prospect….i am dreading to find and hoping I wont and that it is in me to avoid it and change it.
