The bus journey from my house to college everyday is a pretty long one.
Why do we actually live for?
The age to actually live life, the age to enjoy and be happy doing all what you like to do - everything passes away and hardly anything remains in their lives later on. I'm talking about a majority that cannot afford neither to take their family with them abroad nor come back and settle with their family at the native places. I cant find anything to be so much happy about, in such lives. The worst condition of separation and the amount of torment that the person and everyone related to him has to undergo - it just pushes me into a deep trench of haunt.

Personally my opinion is to live life the way your heart says and be happy always. I feel its always better to be with family and live happily. You might be earning less, you might not be able to have a luxurious life. But still you will be happy and enjoying life together with your loved ones. That will anyways be better than sacrificing the entire life to have a decent oldage life. I feel very disturbed for the millions of parents, wives and children who has to be away from the ones they love, for such a long course just for the sake of earning more money. Its the smile on our faces and peace of mind that actually matters, nothing else..
The lady that I came across in the bus looked very pretty. She was very young, thin and shorter than me. The way she was talking about all the responsibilities that she has to take, and the sufferings she has to undergo, touched a lot. The awful condition of separation and loneliness that leaves alone with a hell lot of burdens, it just kept haunting me.
When she was saying about the good times they had together, I'm nearly sure that I saw a twinge of pain and traces of a tear drop in her eyes..
Thats when I mostly come across a lot of people, from almost every walks of life.
From the stubborn, dark lady who sells fish to beauty queen aunty who is always with a hell lot of makeup.
Listened today to a very young pretty lady, talking to her friend. About how her husband is working abroad from around 7 years, and comes once every other year home. She kept going on with her tantrums of taking the entire burden of the family on her weak shoulders.
Why do we actually live for?
Ultimately, we all want to be happy in life. To have all goals accomplished and wishes fulfilled.
But, thinking about the millions of poor Indians working on the foreign lands for years, with absolutely no enjoyment or relief rather than the steaming hotness of workload and stress, its just an emptiness that fills my mind. Is money the only thing that matters in this world? The millions of people who work abroad for long years, not even getting see their loved once in years, what the hell do they earn in life? The bundle of papers?? And that too on the cost of years of happiness. Is it actually worth? These questions that arose in mind, kept haunting me.
It maybe like they don't get to earn much from their native lands, and thats the reason they migrate. But still, where there is a will, there is a way. The ways are always open, you just have to search for it. Anyone can do some decent work and earn a living in India itself, there are endless chances. Its not a too big deal. Going abroad after a certain age has kind-of become the usual trend for a major section of the Indian society. The glitter of the heavy bundles of money is the main reason of going with the brain over heart. And this results in total misery, for the person and for the entire family. The separation for long years with wife and children is not an easy task at all. On the cost of years of happiness, they earn money. Sometimes the savings also dont turn up to be very high, in the end. By the time the person comes back and decides to settle in the native land, he must have become pretty old and good-for-nothing, very weak in health too.
