You are born , you are named , the world starts calling you with that name ( I must wish you Happy Birthday !), you start growing , parents pamper you , you'r expected to come first , may be second if your parents are kind enough , if you fail you'r doomed , you are a good boy , you stay at home you get good marks , you compete and clear an entrance exam you meet girls , but thats not what you'r supposed to do in College , study and come first , get a job and then life begins !!
You boast around for a six digit salary job (excuse me if its seven).Your parents are on cloud nine , your Dad is happy , you have bought fame and glory to your family (May God bless you !!).You feel your hard work is over and now life is fun.
The third day you are given an assignment . Manager says you need to perform for bonus , you slog even on weekends .(Ha ha I am laughing, I know its bad )
Sex is on your mind but just then your parents call up and your marriage is fixed , you get married . Now its time to get happy.
Happiness is short lived since your peer has got promoted and he owns a car now. You have to work and work and on a Sunday you discover you have many Grey hair and your wife informs you that you are getting bald as well.
Kids come and now you are expected to be a good father.
You get promoted and not at 35 you appear in 50's. You have a penthouse and you hear that all Managers are supposed to play Golf.
Golf is a good game , you search for holes .(Its difficult to find many) Somebody would carry your luggage , you just move your stick , lucky if you get it the first time otherwise keep trying !!
You feel you have added a lot of value to your family , your bank balance and more importantly to the society and you should be awarded . You dont receive an Award(How sad ).
You are 60 now and you have no hair(you did nothing when you had some ,so relax) .
You die one day and all your property ??
You lived your life dear !!

great one!
its always you against rest,
right from when you were a kid,
at home with neighbours,
at school with others.
at work with peers.
as a father/mother your kids will compare you with others.
Perhaps only when you grow old enuf to be of no use, people wont compare you, wont bother you, and wont bother for you.

well - u can always follow your heart .. the choice is always yours :).. even the title of the article is YOU
- jyo.
Do we actually ever do what we want to do?Do we actually know what is it we want?All of our desires are driven by others desires family, friends,Spouse etc.But i guess those who follow their heart and do what they want to are the happiest and though maybe they feel disheartened for a while all they have in the end is a smile. I wish i could be like them and be like ROARK
nice description of our life. good one to read.
A great article sir!!!
