In a place like ours , every young couple getting married is also eager to start a family.On one side we have the economy in a bust, GDP down, gold down, sensex on a roller coaster on the whims and fancy of a few big shots,the inflation at 10%, the petrol and diesel prices rock and roll, the Dollar kicking the living daylights of the rupee and we are all set to add one more mouth to the exploding population of India.
It may sound unjust, cruel to some, rash and hard to others and also throw up a question why did we or our generation then go bringing the current generation into this world.Agreed.We too have done our share of errors, but when we weave our story in life we realise the errors and would like to caution the GEN-X about the implications of the new born , in the real world and the spiritual world.
Imagine the poor new entrant has to face the disasters of life based on his karma's of course and tread the path for 70-90 years .Imagine the treacherous path right from the time of birth to the various stages of childhood, teenage and adulthood followed by old age and creaking bones.The 9 month wait and tensions galore, the time of birth and the after effects, the suggestions and advises freely flowing from everyone who has made the mistake and yet wants others to commit the same,the costs, the joy of parenting , the sleepless nights, the red eye syndrome,the feeds and the timings, the clothes and the paraphernalia,the toddler years, the schooling and your interview sessions to get them admitted:) and then the cycle continues.And as if one is not enough we go for the second, and what if those were twins!!
The person then struggles through school and peer pressures, college and the love affairs, graduation and ecstasy till a good job is found and then , get married to start the cycle back again , same errors or get in a job , live in with some one with no commitments and face life all alone.The job , the money, the promotions, false appreciations, bonuses, property, fights, misunderstandings, depressions that are larger than the craters on the moon, envy and pride,anger and love, hatred and passion,all tied into one hell of an experience.The grind is on till we get churned and our body is pestled into powder that finally mixes with the earth, where you belong till.....possibly your next life.....where some one else decides to bring you back with a mistake:)
WHAT A LIFE!!!!
