ARE WE LIVING IN MAD WORLD?
Two days back I took one of my female labor to doctor for some check up, on the way to hospital she said “my head is spinning because of so much vehicles, traffic sound of blowing horn.” Next day she told me that for rest of the day she had headache. On listening this I was looking her face and felt that she was quite serious, and I thought is it really so abnormal and are we all Mad who have to face such mess everyday . We are proudly habitual of all this. This was nothing new to listen but I was left in between a thought that why we get habitual of all this , do we really yearn for this and answer was definitely NO we do not like this, everyone complain about traffic and this fast life. Alas, we give all our life for something we are never completely contented with. We are all really getting insane just notice our behavior while driving we all abuse in some or the other way.
Mobiles are now a necessity, it is a mode, which is very useful, but at the same time, it is a distressing thing. We have no privacy at any point of time in life. I am convinced that it brings more convenience but now we have double sim and triple sim mobiles. Do we want to convert in a machine?
Advertisement is undoubtedly another way to drive all of us barmy. We have hoardings all around full of ads. Radio, and television are full on in loud noise, it seems that the purpose is to keep human mind always keep filling human mind. Above all this advertisement are getting so called educated mothers nutty to keep their children germ free, 3 decades back was their no hygiene habits, were children dying were people not healthy? They were healthier and immune system was stronger than ever. It is normal if children will have fun with dust. They are deprived of real childhood. I hate it when I see children eating food in front of television absolutely lost in stupid cartoon channels.
The more we are getting into this entire jumble of going away from the nature, the more we are being of unsatisfied nature, we are always bored, we always want to do something if we sit alone several things come and go in our mind and an anxiety always remains there. In this new world, we are introduced to a number of new and bizarre physical and mental problems. Our children do not know or do not bother to recognize more of their relatives but they know all cartoon characters, they do not know how to be with nature but they are well familiar with all electronic and mobile gadgets. I am not talking against technology but Human need to set the limit somewhere.
When I see old movies, old songs I think were those people not happy without so many forms of expressions, zero figure, branded dresses, big cars. I really miss that simplicity and warmth in people. I miss the craze we had for summer holidays, water cooler ki thand, comics, home made chutnnis and sauces, Sunday rangoli, watching a weekly movie together with family. I don’t think today’s kids have significance and respect for what they get in life and off course they are not to blame for that, it’s the pace of world where children grow very fast in their eventful life.
In the James Cameroon movie AVTAAR, I still remember a thing avatar says about our human world was “send human back to their mad world”.
