I was listening to some music today, an instrument piece; it
touched me somewhere and my eyes were wet. This nostalgia creeps into our lives
so very often. Each one of us has memories. Some good and some not so good.
Remember those days when teacher used to make you the class monitor and you
felt like a king / queen, your first date (not the bill please). Can you ever
forget your first salary? Many of us have an experience when we feel life
slipping out of our hand when we loose some near one. I feel a tear in my eyes
whenever such a thought crosses my mind. Such moments melt in my eyes and my
heart.
I remember when I lost someone very close to me, I could not
believe that for a long time. I felt his presence everywhere. Infact I feel him
standing next to me right now. This not something I need to share with people
around me, however I chose to write it down only to substantiate that memories
and moments are important. It is important to love people, get attached to them
and feel their love. Money is important but not the most important. Money can
buy only things but not emotions. Money can attract a girlfriend but it cannot
transform her affection into a wife’s love. Money can buy kitchen equipments
but cannot get your mother’s hand cooked dishes.
We have developed an insensitive tradition of using people
and loving things. We snap all the ties for a piece of gold, if we get a chance
to. Where is love, nowhere to be found in this fast pace world? If Adam had not
fallen for Eve, we would not have been there only! I see people struggling and
then they succumb to depression due to loneliness once they accumulate enough
money in their accounts. We realize what we have lost only when it gets too
late. In the autumn of life we are lonely and secluded because the spring was
spent hoarding money rather than building relations. We quite surprisingly
neglect the importance of sentiments and relationships in our life. Every now
and then we see the old parents being abandoned once the offspring becomes
financially able.

I have always been badly hurt by how materialistic we have
become. We hide our emotions behind the pile of currency notes. We pseudo
project our ego as our self esteem to break a bond. How fragile is our self
proclaimed successful image. Don’t let your greed kill the human being in you.
Cherish and nurture your emotions. Your children learn from you, if you leave
your parents in oldage homes, you are likely to spend the evening of your life
there only.
