Why do we try so hard ....
... from the time we are born till the time we die, at every point in our lives, every moment that we exist. As an infant we cry whenever we aren't asleep so someone will come take us in their arms . Once we are able to walk we try to reach for everything we can get our hands on. At the age of 3 we start demanding for all the toys on earth. In school we try to be that cool kid who is omnipresent be it on the cricket ground or on the toppers list. Once we enter our teens our harmones start acting up prematurely and we want the prettiest gal to go out with. Who wants to study in the neighbourhood university? Only ivy league and the likes are where we can pursue our dreams. Come placement season we want double the salary our parents got while they were about to retire. Then we want nothing less than Bipasha Basu/John Abraham with the brains of Stephen Hawking. A couple of snazzy cars, a swank bunglow , memebership of the most expensive club , a beach house maybe are basic necessities. Now when our kid is born, we want it to have it's own tennis coach, piano teacher, swimming trainer and the list is endless. We want to retire at 40 with so much wealth that could feed half of India's under nourished population. Then we want to play golf every other day and go fishing in hawaii or skiing in switzerland , leaving behind a bunch of managers to run a business which'll pay for it all.and when we miss out on any one of the above we crib about it our whole life. Can't we just lead a normal life!!!!
