Today it seems like my life consists of just going with the tide and that I have no particular destination. When I

The pursuit of material things sometimes seem meaningless to me. I often feel as though life is passing by.

My time is consumed by things that need to be done, rather than things that are important to me. People put demands
and responsibilities on me that are opposed to what I want for my life.

I have been trying to live up to everyone elses expectations while my own plans and dreams go unfulfilled.

I think I am not alone. Many people just feel like me. You might agree with my thoughts. Theres more wisdom than

Frankly, life is too short for us to waste most of it on the acquisition of material things, in trying to impress people we
care little about, and on things that will have little or no value to us when we look back on our lives during our golden

years.

Sometimes I feel like heaven on earth. These are the times when I meet my old friends, when I am sitting alone on R E C E N T L Y , ON B RIJUX
garden bench in the evening and seeing a lovely couple and thinking of my beloved, when I think of all the foolish

I studied in the childhood as everybody does, made good friends there, passed higher secondary school with good

grades. Now what? People told me to become a doctor or an engineer. I couldnt get in to a medical school, so joined bedenied
an engineering school. Seniors told that Electronics is latest trend and there are lots of opportunities in that. So I

joined the Electronics branch.

Than started my engineering studies at the age of 16. I left my home for studies, left all friends which mean a lot to PREVIOUSLY , ON

Now again, a new world, but it wasn t that hard as before. I started working in HUTCH (a Cellular company). I got June2010(3)
involved with my work, my seniors and my colleagues very easily. I learned the REAL lessons of life. After six months, May2010(3)
I changed the company; shifted to new place. Now it was not anything new for my life. I began to realize that it wasnt

the change in my life, it itself was LIFE. The degree of homesickness was not like before. I met several people in my

life; some of them are still with me, some in my memories, and one in my heart. I took everything for granted. I

But deep down in my heart I felt like life has come to an end. I was not doing anything that I really wanted. I studied, December2009 (4)

i know this is very late , but i read this blog post just now and i want to leave a comment.

you put your entire perspective of your life in one essay, thats pretty awesome dude. i have thought the same way
for quite some time.

but now ive given in to these materialistic attachments. now i dont care to know if life has any meaning at all. i
am just doing my bit everyday to bettering myself(as in learn skills to earn more) in this material world which
everyone else made for me.

there is no use asking God. He has already given us the most important thing, that is freedom. We need to use this
freedom to discover what our lifes purpose is by ourselves.

i guess its only at this age, when we are at the threshold of our careers and more mature, we learn that life is not
meant to be as we thought it would. we realize that our freedom was virtually nonexistent because of the fact that
we have been always following what everyone says.

i am waiting for life to unfold itself to the next stage. maybe one day finding and uniting with our betterhalves and
bringing a new life to this world will probably drastically change our minds and give us some meaning.

Im flowing with the tide right now. More than 90% of my life till now has been sculpted. Life now means
that youre pushed into the safest path regardless of what you like/want. The reason comes in different forms, as
an advice, yell or a counsel as Youve not seen as much life to make decisions for yourself.
In business, with greater risk comes more money. In life too, with greater risk involved in sculpting your life on your
own, comes the real thrill of leading life, and learning what it is, in the process. Unfortunately, Im already in a
position where I can only talk about it, and not act.
The realisation has caused frustration, boredom or simply the nagging feeling that regardless of the amount of
control youve on your life, its not going anywhere you want to. The only solace is that Ive not given up yet, and
when i do, Ill be killing my sanity, all by myself.

i am 60 yrs and fought 5 wars for all of u.

i went back to my friends in school, college etc. the old warmth was not there. TIME.

i have a whole lot of memories, lots and lots of them. for example unpaid lance naik satnam singh, singing Ruk ja
Raat, teher jaye chanda from Dil Ek Mandir. Next Morning he was 5 pieces. 1971 somewhere in bangla desh. he
was unmarried, 18 yrs old. i was 19.

a quadrapalegic gets a pension of rs 48 per month. yeah there are no zeros there. life goes on.

life goes on. SMILE.

try listening to the song TIME.

Thank you for your comment Sir,

We are all proud of what you and your friends did for us. We can not thank you enough. You are right, life just
goes on, there does not seem to be a meaning to it, its just to be cherished.

But sometime it puts you at a cross road where everything is going perfect as you expected and you still feel a
big void in it, you feel that something is still missing. May be that is what life is.
