As a child, most of us have all gone to the primary and higher secondary schools. Each one of us would have had a wonderful time at school where we were imparted so many lessons (which holds true in most complex of the circumstances even now). Most of the friendships that we made at school are still pure and refreshing. Just imagine the joy of bumping into one of your confidant of school time while walking across aisles of one big glass quoted corporate building. Won’t that be a special moment? A moment that is worth waiting for years. A moment that one would wish to last forever.
Weren’t those days special? Starting the day with a lovely prayer, Sharing those lunch-boxes and preserving one of those last bite for the special friend who was busy talking to the teacher, Getting drenched on that rainy evening (Perhaps overwhelming joy of first Monsoon), Bunking the classes for most awaited cultural event of the year etc. Wow! The glory, the joy, the pleasantries, the rivalries and the tussles – all were so natural. Yes, these were all so natural till a certain stage arrived in one’s life.
Suddenly, business became more important or rather keeping busy became the best way to lead towards progress. The thought of making friends at work never crossed the mind. And even when the thoughts cropped up, time limitations did not let this prosper. Family commitments also demanded a lot of efforts and time. True, these were genuine constraints and one should not be blamed for such ignorance ideally. One had nothing to choose over here, had to sail by the flow, I guess.
But, how about the vision that was THE foundation of this journey. Did we look back and realize whether the vision was intact or whether we are treading towards THE vision. Did we recollect the glorious childhood which was full of natural moments. If the vision turned hazy on the way without any likelihood of regular musing or continuous refinement, then we are heading towards an impasse. The idea is to avoid this impasse and take out time to do all those activities which helped us inculcate values and beliefs since long.
Many more rewarding and special moments would be one definite consequence of this and thus, we would be able to relive and revitalize the glory of the past!
