PARANOIA

Sitting in the office, everyday this thought shoots across my mind, "Is this my life going to be?"

                   I see the Associated coming in sitting, talking over the phone, giggling among themselves, do some work and repeat the process.

They talk about, what did they do the last day, what they want to wear, the videos they saw, the drinks they had and other daily rituals!

                                              Happy! they seem to be, content and lost in their daily life, engrossed in their daily lives, ignoring the fact that have made a COMPROMISE with themselves. But "HAPPY" they are.

Watching them, most would think, I want this life! But I am not among the "most".

                                              The first thing that I noticed is, they have lost the "curiosity". The curiosity to learn, curiosity to ask new questions. They do not want to influence the world anymore, as they thought in their youth.

Now, what they want is- a day -off just to sleep and chit-chat. The restlessness to make a difference, the restlessness to be productive, the restlessness to change the world is long gone.

                                               Puppets! is the synonym I want them to be addressed as. Puppets of time, puppets of life, puppets of others opinion, puppets of self pity, puppets of tiredness. They have consoled themselves long before, accepted the current situation as their fate! The restlessness is nowhere to be found..

But then i ask myself "Is this my life going to be?"
