Life

I am beginning to wonder where my life is going. I never seem to have time for myself. It is always work, work and work and looking after the others. But who is going to look after me? I like work. In fact I like to keep myself busy instead of wasting time in front of TV or lounging around for no reason. But do I have to be busy doing things I don't want to do at that time or all the time? Why can't I do things that I like to do? Looks like that is happening for last couple of years. Sometimes I wish I could go back to SB. The one year I spent their was the best time I ever had. If it was not for some unavoidable reasons, I would have tried to stay back then but NO, I had to come back.

Life here was never my cup of tea, this I know from the day it dawned on us that from now on, there will be no more annual visits to PK since we are here permanently. There was lot of hue and cry but to no avail. How I was able to survive a decade only I know. Everyday was filled with complaining about things that are happening or not happening or why they are happening (not happening)

I have been observing the life style in this city these many years and it seems that the quality of life (not in terms of money) has gone down. People are happy by spending time in front of TV or eating out. In fact food has become an entertainment!!! I just cannot comprehend these things. There are better things to do in life than sleeping and eating all the time. But if I ever say this aloud I will be 'honoured' with terms like 'old-fashioned', 'crazy', 'out-of-touch', 'unaware of modern lifestyle' and others that I rather not write.
