Namita possessed with esteem the post of a probationary
officer in a New Gen Bank. Though she had graduated in Engineering she
preferred a job in a bank. As a natural
course of life she became a wife and subsequently a mother. The completion of
her motherhood-leave pushed her back to the seat in the bank. The hard copy of
a memorandum lain with her boss awaited to welcome her. Its read definitely
crippled her muscles on her visage and curved more her already curved eyebrows.
It boomed out indicating the notice period of sacking her from there stating
some baseless reasons. Of course her sincerity and efficiency dissolved all the
hitches on her way to another job. But the pre-new-job period had provided her
much anguish and anxiety. Leave for a longer period acted as the cutting sword on
her job. No softness or work ethics
greeted her to linger to that job.
Why I have mentioned this introduction because no humane
ground prevails in human minds in today’s day to day affairs. It is true that
the bank dealings run smoothly with the contribution of all employees. But how
can they make persons deprived of their personal need? Human values such as
empathy, sympathy, clemency, courtesy, respect, regard, obedience, obeisance,
patience, tolerance, fortitude, forgiveness etc have place scarce in the social
space now a days. They instead vanish from people’s mind figuring out no uses
here, regardless of their needs. And if at all they stay back a little bit, they
find no time to come to the vanguard of people’s deed. Today’s main predicament
is time, time constraint and ‘no time cry’ we hear from every nuke and cranny.
Today many of the youngsters in fact hold good records of
academics undeniably. Their work force earns them basket full of cash. Draw
they handsome remuneration, live they in mansions with expanse, travel they in
expensive motor-mediums and obtain they all devices for comforts. Effusive
lavishness of theirs in general has replaced the miserliness of people in
spending. In toto they buy luxuries, provide for charities, spend for families
and contribute for social needs. They are unquestionably healthy in wealth,
though not a great deal in delight. It was not the way the oldsters lived their
young life. They didn’t cart bags full of cash wherever they went. In truth
they were devoid of cash in abundance. They were but wealthy in health. There
are so many other youngsters and oldsters now too finding it difficult to meet
both the ends. Disparities hold some on the highest branch of prosperity while
a good many have to struggle, yet no reach to riches.
Do we all today have a life full of life or does a single
person live an apposite life? A big’ No’ is its response. People may sure boast
of joyful days, delightful life etc.etc. But sure they will hide a dark shade
somewhere in their life span. They may dream of a hundred plans in their minds
of which today’s work load allows them not to fulfill even fifty percent. And
that leaves a strip of disappointment in their minds and that strip goes on
nagging their costly calm.
Present day’s limited free time allows not one to spend
one’s hard-earned money in a fruitful style.
Time troubles people mercilessly by flying away at a supersonic speed.
Recreation and amusement have no reception amongst the youngsters now. Social
gatherings also turn to be more formal with seldom scope of merriment. Hither-thither
when such things pave their paths to human lives, the very vivid villain in the
array of mobile phone appears as a spoilsport. This spoilsport snatches from
the people their attention and interest at the fullest. The upshot is only physical
presence of theirs there without any entertainment.
People have become
machines running for hours and hours together ignoring all the tenderness of
their life. They get up early, very early turn the key to start their
body-vehicle, which takes a few rounds inside the residence and runs to the
office campus, attains the position and remains ‘on’ till night. No possibility
of witnessing the sweet sunrise and sunset both. No scenes or sceneries attract
their attention. In fact they wander or have to wander after reputation,
position and remuneration in today’s social climate. If this is continued a
time will come when people feel themselves alien to their natural habitat.
Caring the parents,
rearing the children well, having fun with all, keeping good rapport with the spouse,
proper sleep, reading the books of choice, tidying the residence, keeping
appealing dress-sense, eating toothsome food etc have acceptance less in
peoples’ lives. It is none of their negligence, but the workload eats away
everybody’s time and quite with no concern.
The plight of the offspring of the present is such that the
weight they carry back and forth for schooling is inestimable. The little legs
running hunchbacked with heavy bags cut a sorry figure in beholders’ eyes. At
dawn kids of age one onwards are from bed to toes and the poor are compelled to
perform everything in semi-sleep conditions. Six working days and farness from
home for eight to ten hours for the
playschool, school and tuition centres literally turn the young generation
disinterested in everything. Curriculum becomes a nightmare for many. The
persuasion from the parents only ignites seriousness in some of them to obtain better
scores in the exams. And that achievement just happens and it is not goal-linked.
Dearth of leisure-time, exhaustion of energy and no play for fun etc. fill
laziness and dullness in children.
Lack of rest and freedom in both young and grownups leads to
fatigue and tension, the result is stress and strain. Sometimes communication ends
in a confronting climax. The elders go
to the extent of exercising their stiffness on their innocent brood. They
objurgate children for no reason. The brood fall prey to blows and slaps also.
The corporate or business houses pay huge wages to their employees,
extracting all their juices. They do not allow the people to take pleasure in
living. They if appoint two persons to share one person’s load and salary, they
will get their watchwords, productivity and profit climb on board. Then two
families will be benefitted, disparity between haves and have-nots will be
diminished, exorbitant price-rise will reverse due to reduced salary with
people and the society will enjoy facilities much more.
Even the business magnates do not live their life. Amidst lavishness
too the thoughts of conquering heights more and more haunt their peace of mind.
Always they are engaged in exploring strategies, introducing innovations, planning
activities and so on. So they too do not benefit from an exact life’s
excitement. What for all these? Reasonable profit and, gradual expansion,
tolerable duty-amount will create a hindrance-free atmosphere in duty spot. That
will bring forth vigour and vibrant situation in the work conditions. The outcome
is more profit.
One day all will have
to bid adieu from here for the Godly abode above. Only one life, let people live that without
much hitches. And thus today’s world order can be remodelled. The governments
Globe wide should think in the line of letting the citizens lead a life full of
life.
