City scapes-Pace off

Metro life, high pace, loads of money, tons of stress, false sense of security, High profile meetings and hobnobbing, high power snobbish culture and the muwaah, muwaah that go around in black dressed Armani or D&G party animals,high Octane night life upto the wee hours of the morning, 4 hours a day journey time, 11 hrs of work time,1 hour of breakfast, lunch and dinner if you get that time of course, and for a few 2-3 hours in airline security and lounges,1 hour on the internet ,and if there is time catch up with some sleep where ever.Work hard and party harder philosophy till the knee joints require replacement, the heart arteries require a cholesterol flush and the lungs a vacuuming to clear the smoke and tar.

Then you are jet setting and earning mileage points ,hoping to spend those with the family or upgrading your self to Business class from economy.The family time rarely comes because you are wedded to work, work and work.So you are hopping airports, drinking coffee and beer , skipping lunches and breakfast  to earn those brownie points or impress the boss. and in the process mess up your health.No time to jog, walk or relax.

Earning money is the sole objective, give the family and yourself what the peers and neighbours expect to see you in as a high flying executive working with a MNC devoting those precious moments for someone else and some other brand.By the time it tires you out and you are high on caffeine  and or booze in your blood stream that gives you insomnia and BP.You seldom realize, that it ends up putting you years back when it is time to enjoy.If you have taken a health cover , you are saved.If not, god be with you.When its time to enjoy your hard earned money your heart and feet don't allow you.Whats the point?

With electronic devices and social network you are on face times and g-talk and chat and wassup trying to touch base with the people who you love.They too start looking at you as a virtual Dad or mom and there is trouble brewing for sure.The crazy i-world is making people sit next to each other and busy looking at their phones every 30 seconds instead of having a nice chat face to face.

I stepped out of this 6 years ago and came into a smaller city giving up all this frivolous life and instead enjoying quality life with me and my family and friends in person, at my own pace and also keep in touch on the social networking and business networking sites expanding my horizons, learning all the time and relaxing in a hammock with an" Absolut" :).What a peace of mind.You can introspect, share , learn and absorb the beauty of nature and live life to the fullest with what you have rather than run after something that you will not have time to enjoy.
