Aren't we missing something??? Sachin Saini, from Jaipur asks if we have forgotten to live in the race of survival, success?????

My fourteen year old brother said, " Bro, I am tired of these examinations, I want grow up fast and work like you and earn money."

It did not surprise me as I also used to think this way in my childhood but now its flip around. I wish I can just go back to my childhood.

I never planned anything in my life except how to enjoy the evenings and have fun.

But now I crave for the evenings to relax and sit home, that is what we call change, to which some great thinker also said 'parivartan sansar ka niyam.' Which I have understood now.

My recent transfer to Jaipur proved that God is there for us. I never thought rather nobody thought that I would be working but destiny….

Me at 26 has observed one thing about our generation (not trying to sound old, just an expression), we have lost emotions, values and priorities.

Mom's ill, how will go and meet her? Was the question in one of my friends mind after hearing the news? Will I get a holiday, If I will go then boss will be angry.

Is this what we call a life. What are we working for? I know let me guess, Money, money, money and career.

Only thing which not us but around 99 percent people think, good house, car, luxury and power, Today's basic requirements.

Its not that I don't think this way, but just five days in a month, rest 25 days I look for peace and satisfaction.

I just have one question, why into a race? Lunch, dinner, love and sleep all in the car, call it luxury or lachari.

All we care for is job, for survival, pay bills, luxury, achievements, hike responsibility, what else?

Around 300 words, what I thought on my bro's question and I suppose that too in 2 to 3 minutes.

But we missed something, I suppose- peace of mind.
