How big is life?

As a child I felt it is studying, the toughest thing in life (every parent wants his child to study, studies is the only world he knows), as I grew up to teens and mastered the art reaching new highs every class, I felt it is making money the toughest(money dominates the real world scene, everything money). And as I started doing it smart, I felt it is living the toughest, whatever it gave me a chance to peek into what life is!

Do we really have a big life?

This would have haunted you before and most probably you have given it a slip. I asked myself instantly, never thought it seriously any time. I'm quite mechanical. I'm so afraid to think that one day I'll die, ahh very tough to absolve the fact, imagine that you also die one day, your heart beats fast.

Until turning 20-23 years, you spend time in studies, movies, dresses, games (no dating!). You study like mad and fight like there is no tomorrow. Energy levels and abilities reach their peaks so much that you dream to crumble mountains on your way. No financial freedom in sight, yet you dream of Billions and Bill Gates.

A job comes your way bringing a new found fortune, pavement from rags to riches, overnight sultan. Go funky in dressing with leather shoes with eyes flashing. No more you speak subjects and research, and speak money, honey. You count every rupee, preach currency, dream big, turn to calculator and go crazy. (Intelligent brains write smart programs to see what they save!). It's pay back time, you start sending money home reluctantly (all the while you received DDs in time for years). After a while, you realize to maintain money, credit cards, filing income tax returns, rushing for infrastructure bonds, LIC. (Few like me who stay a step ahead would have started gambling in stock markets). Some or other day, you dabble stock markets, by now you would have totally forgotten your subjects at college and still speak about research, it is pure stock market analysis, go hilarious at newly learnt skills. Testosterone flows top to bottom until one bad day stock market collapses shattering all dreams like a pack of cards, everything looks messy all of a sudden. Alas you still have job.

Days run like never before, you turn 25. Time is closing in on for the knot. Heart pounds again, new dreams, new hopes, new future, walking with a pretty girl, new found mate. Honeymoon follows, sweet nothings exchanged, spend days and nights cuddling and snuggling together. Another 2 years wiped off, fresh breeze comes as a new baby calling you daddy....

Life is, certainly big and worth living, don't take it easy, the toughest too, cherish every moment to the core. (what's there in a girl's mind? must be different! beyond my imagination).
