Golden Moments

There are times when u are into a dilemma as what to do and what not to....u start feeling that the condition never existed. I recently went through such a hard dilemma wherein one of my best friends was in an emotional trauma and i knew he needed me to be there with him but bang i was in Mumbai and he was in Ahmedabad, i curse these situations so much when i am not there for my near and dear one's when they require me to be with them. It hurts when u know that u cant be there even though u know your presence will have a very deep impaact on how things turn out. I really feel that development in the world has only brought material happiness to the people and the fell good factor of a good life is often lost in this race for development. Now a days every1 has to run after money not if to fulfill their own dreams but the dreams of those dependent on them.......being career oriented is good but whats the point if u have big bucks but dont have the time to be their with family and friends during stressing times.....its useless but now its a way of life and ever1 accepts it.........i remember the care free days that i had with a couple of my close friends all we used to do was play cricket and watch movies the whole day............those were some of the best days of my life......but now every1's apart one guy is in the U.S. in search of better prospects and another works in Google both in very demanding spheres of their own life........and i am here in Mumbai trying to do the same the world is doing, pathing a better career prospect for myself........v are in touch as a blessing of the mobile world but its only seldom that v catch up as most of the times our schedules of going back home is not the same. I recently on a very happy occasion on my part missed my brother a lot but he was away in delhi studying MBA.........he will surely come back in a couple of months but there wont be that 'missing' element that i had for him for the occasion. We in the struggle of life and being one of the best are constantly loosing on very important bondings of our life with friends and family. I still remember how as a kid going to school in rickshaw v used to play silly games like antakshari, vasir, the red car etc i all seems stupid sometimes but those times really captured our innocence as kids........carefree.......minus responsibilites of life........people used to tell me these are the best days enjoy it to your full but during that time the school homework was a big burden........and now i really feel i can do a week's homework in a day if i get to live that life again...........i want to completely enjoy my last year in college so that sometime in future i dont compare my professional life full of commitments to the carefree days of college when i did not have enough fun........ I just wish this moments to come again so that what we missed in our 'struggle to be the best' is not repeated.........deep inside a know its not gonna happen because time is like the Mumbai locals once gone is never gonna come back..........wish this world was enclosed in a cycle of monotony......
