"Achievement Joke"

Diwali festival of lights and joy. This diwali I met many people, people of different genre, people of different ages and people of different dreams. People really made their smile costlier. People counting the stairs of the success at he cost of their smile. With every increasing digits in the salary making more robotic. People are becoming so rigid that, they are not ready to welcome happiness. Irony is they belive that nothing can chage the way of their living and this is destiny.

One set of people, aspiring for better future, sharpening their chisel which will make a way to success. Cirtainaly each and every moment their goal is in their mind. Any how to get one seat in apex engineering college o medical college. A group of people, shy, lines of worries on face, Influenced and pressurized. Influenced with the success stories, Its a position where life is really on fire. And they really think that grass of a degree college is really green. Pressurized with the thought of their parents and evergrowing expectation. Its like holding tonnes of load and crawling. But Inbetween influence and pressure there are some moments smile on their faces. Ready to accept good Ideas and situations which can bring some changes in their life, like a plant growing at the surface of jungle always looking up for sun ray to reach to them.

Story of tree which is already exposed to the sun light is slightly different. A tree with deep rooted roots and strong stem. A group of engineers freshly graduated from college joined corporate race. A set of youth, where youthfulness, energy and enthusiasm is just a word. For them life is like a tickeling clock of 8hrs job and after that there is no existence of rest 16hrs. A four years of their degree period raped them, took everything and given a thick A4 sheet, cirtifying achiever. Smile became a leap year which will come once in a four year.

A big question is why success takes everything from people, takes their smile, the enthusiasm, the energy and make them a dead man walking. Mentality so confined that cannot think beyond routine life. Is this what we are loking for? Is achievent a joke?

We cirtainly forgot that life is joy and celebration. Celebration not only on Holi or Diwali but everyday. Everyday opening a new door of hapiness. Everyday checking letterbox and opening a letter of hapiness, nevermind someday if letter is blanked. It doesn't matter what we achieve in life but It really matters that whatever we have achieved, we don make it a joke.
