Year ends..thought begins..

Another financial year passed by.. hhh.. I know, not much of a difference to a lay man.. but it seems - anything that ends and anything that begins, gives a new thought-line, a whole bunch of new ideas to ponder over, a start to a new struggle..

It was a usual day at office which began with the same 'poha-farsaan-tea' breakfast with a friend..and while we were in the queue of buying breakfast tokens, he suddenly said – 'see the rates of breakfast items have hiked'..The reason food vendor gave was – 'New financial year, new rates'.. Then the discussion somehow turned towards finances, some friends and acquaintances from IIMs who have salary in 8 digits INR, rent, house loans.. and suddenly the new thought flashed by – Would I ever want to have a house of my own?! And voila, the thought-line followed.. A house of my own – Made of bricks and cement OR the one which is made of my loved ones and their love?!

In this so called rat race of this materialistic world, sometimes I am confused, what do I actually want?!Is it just the things I am running after – Onsite, Package, Settled spouse, A row house.. or the things my heart runs after – A tour of my own country – stone by stone, just enough money to keep up to my basics, a person who loves me and cares for me to the moon and far, a place where all my loved ones live!!

And now, as I think it over and over.. I realize.. the later gushes the positive adrenalin through me while the former just keeps me off the stress..
Its high time to decide – A adrenalled life?! A safe side set life?!! Signing off to give it a thought..
