What is life? A question, which has compelled innumerous writers across the world to write books as huge as epics but still, the question remains unanswered, for reasons unknown. In fact, for most of the people the term has different connotations, much different than their actual perception. Some define it as sultry, some define it as fun, some as happiness or some as perhaps sadness but I think life is Madness… yes, life is nothing more than madness. Madness to achieve, madness to strive and these days it seems life is nothing but madness to imitate.

Whatever we see, we hear, we tend to incorporate it in our lives as well, without knowing the pros and cons or even the relevance or irrelevance of the issue in our lives. Until yesterday, people had ambitions, they wanted to study and carve out a niche for themselves in the world. When I used to be in school, I remember my friends saying that some would become doctors, some would want to become engineers and so on and so forth. With the advent of technology, or more so I should say Globalization, the scenario seems rather strangely changed. As soon as I graduated from my school, I saw many dejected faces from the entrance tests point of view but for them they got into rather glamorous mode of call centers, not realizing that those are mere glitters that will lose it’s charm even before they realise.

Anyhow, coming back to the topic, life now has become a call center. If you have nothing to do or I should rather put it like, if you are good for nothing, join a call center (no offences). With call centers coming in, the standard of living of youngsters has surely changed, but has the mindset changed? To this question, I fail to draw up a conclusion.
For sure, life in today’s world is nothing but a mere imitation of such successful youngsters. People believe what’s the harm in sacrificing nights’ sleep or days’ meal when they can earn in six figures but what about the thousand of ailments attached to this myth?

Well the purpose behind me writing this article is merely to awake the issue which is in the air but has been left sleeping. Life is not about running after money but about your lifestyle, about realizing your dreams and following them rather than following someone else’s footsteps. We should be the benchmark for other people rather than letting others to be our leaders. We should be self-dependent, that’s true but not at the cost of our health. After all a healthy lifestyle is a happy and contended lifestyle.
