I wake up in the morning and I know there is nothing to look forward to. The same old office, the same boss and the same dull and depressive cabin.. nothing motivating enough to pull me out of the bed. I lie there staring into the void and in no time, the door bell rings. And my wife opens the door paving way to the most important person in our lives, the maid.
She is a woman in her late thirties, comes every morning to do the house hold chores. Doesn't speak much and is soft spoken when she does. She leaves after her work and now the regular question comes up from my sweetheart's lips. "What for breakfast?" She hates asking that question but asks everyday. Most of us do things which we don't like but still end up doing as a duty. Don't we?
Then we silently have breakfast. I try to engage her in some conversation and action but in vain. These early morning conversations only lead to differences. Better stuff yourself and leave for work.
Work.. That's where I am writing all this from, is again as I said is a crappy place. I wish I wasn't here. But then, this time I did not want to do work like duty even though I do not like it. So, a few weeks ago I put my papers down from my secured, comfortable, fat pay, white collared job. People around me are amazed that I have quit without any offer in hand. My only answer to them is that it is now time to create my own offers. But again, my answers are not targeted to justify my move. Sooner or later, I had to do something which I like and not just run around money in this rat race.. All of us know that even with one fifth of what we are earning now, we can comfortably and happily lead our lives the same way as we do now. But we want more due to a lot of factors. Call them responsibility, duty, future planning, status, greed and what not..
But I am tired of all these words now. I want to wake up every morning with an enthusiasm to live that day of my life. If I can wake up everyday that way, I would call my life worth living.
