Yesterday I was about to go to lunch, while my friend wanted to join me. “Friends are always welcome but don’t forget to take your plastic cards” I replied. He is one of the best friend of mine that he did bring it. Now its time to decide on the food we liked to have and the hotel. I was so hungry that I thought an Andhra mess would serve that purpose.
My friend stared at me like an alien. ‘What nonsense its either pizza hut or the domino’s”. I worried why had I been with him. After all I was not in a mood to argue. Alas I was there @ pizza hut. We spent a little less than a thousand. Friend with a triumphant smile lighted a cigarette. I was so curious to know if he was really content with the pizza’s. I told him “that’s really great to have those pizza’s isn’t it?” . For the reply he has said, I heard my heart broke in to pieces. “I don’t like to have pizza’s but still pizza’s are the fancied food for lunch” Fancy- in food I exclaimed.
I wondered for sometime “fancy and food” do they really go with each other? This is a stimulated world. We are forced to do those not which we really like but what others have rated as the modern society likes .I call this as communal harmony. This society led by charismatic advertisement has formed a set of rules for the so called hi-fi people.
These rules are blindly followed by the society. If I don’t eat pizza’s I am left out from this fast moving society. It is not only about foods, take dresses, vehicles, mobiles, education or even your career. Buddy you are unique. You are eating pizza’s for the society instead of your stomach.
Your personal interests are over ridden by the society’s unwritten rules. All the world is a stage and every human is acting like somebody else. And a day will come where everybody in this world will start wearing a jean, a Reebok tshirt, an N series mobile(I pray nokia will not introduce o,p,q,r…z series mobiles), a pizza for lunch, weekends at pubs,…….
World lives in the differences. And imagine if differences vanish. Every human being in India will follow that communal harmony to change his child’s genes to look like “sharrukh khan” with the brains of “Abdul kalam”.
In ancient days every human being is treated unique. Kurukulam taught, beema about being strong, arjuna about throwing arrows. But all those Arjunas, Krishnas and Dhuiriodhanas are software engineers now.
Let uniqueness die and the world flourish.
Long live the economy boom.
