In Pursuit Of Happiness..

Get admission in a good college, for that you have study hard… so that our parents, friends and YOU feel good; everyone praise you for being brilliant throughout! In the college be obedient, studious and helpful so that you are famous … when with friends; during any kind of debate, or chatting make sure that you don’t remain unnoticed. Wear stylish clothes, accessories so that when u walk around u get noticed!
College days fade off and soon u realize that you failed to make a mark as per your wish. U realize that there are more areas u should be working on so that u make ur mark! And then in search of job u improvise on ur communication skills, ur personality, ur fitness.. one fine day there is an offer letter in your hand , those salary figures live upto ur expectations and now u r the happiest creature on the earth! Ur cell phone rings, a happy voice screams in your ears.. he is ur friend informing u about the job he got, 1.5 times ur salary!!!! And now u become as helpless as never before! for that moment u forget that he is ur friend, you tend to faint (mentally)… yet again have u failed to MAKE A MARK???
U work hard , earn lots of money.. spend it to get noticed! You want to be a gud son, a nice husband, an adorable father and a lovely grandfather! Each time in every role, u make ur mark! Is that volatile? Does anyone really remember THAT mark u have tried to make? Does these things really satisfy u? when ur death bell rings, are u completely satisfied ? do you have regrets, expectations, jealousy????? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You aren’t satisfied at all… in the race of MAKING A MARK u r the biggest looser. What mark have you made? No answer…. Have you contributed substantially to this world…not in terms of money but in terms of moral values? No answer… have u enjoyed ur hobbies? Have you lived a single day as per your wish? Have you ever slept peacefully not because your body was tired but ur mind was relaxed???? No answer….
You never made a point to think about these questions!!!! U developed a skill of being positive throughout ur life but at the end you get all negative answers! Then was that a skill really developed ? U have saved huge amount in the banks but still ur ‘satisfaction pool’ is empty! Then where is ur mark???? It has vanished…rather it wasn’t there at all.. THAT MARK sucked ur energy throughout the race and didn’t fetch u a single penny!!!
You might think I am trying to MAKE A MARK as a writer, so that someone should recognize it, should pat my back..and say “You are gud at penning your views” though I don’t want to make a mark, still that may happen…
