Feast brings respite from odd routines

  On an important occasion, I had the great opportunity to attend a feast arranged at a posh hotel in our famous city of Kanpur's prominent Jajmau area.  Various delicious items were arranged on the stylish table. The guests were really free to choose what they liked to consume. There was a considerable rush but not in any way uncontrollable when I entered the grand air conditioning space. Soon, the humble host emerged, and we liked to step forward for embracing each other as human decency permits us to do on such occasions. I did not lose much time sharing a light joke. I briefed him that I saw you standing from just outside, but you were out of sight the moment I entered the a bit dark hall.  He, in his usual manner, did not pause to say how a man so fat could not be viewed from quite a short distance. Thus, we laughed to the full heartily. Among various dishes, there was also the regular Biryani. How would be missed due to its wide acceptability? When it was indeed ava...

Why do we come across bizarre queries?


Before turning towards his flat's door, the aged neighbour did not fail to enquire about the functioning of the not-so-old inverter. It has put the man in a slightly more confused situation, wondering why he had shown such an extreme interest in knowing about the inverter's health. This very question amazed him for a few rambling seconds. He consoled himself anyhow with such an odd or bizarre question at the exact moment. 

Nowadays, neighbours suddenly decide to ask about the health of a useful gadget that is generally used in case of a power supply cut. Obviously, a query was not that much odd for a simple person. He did not pause long enough to elaborate on his quick response. "It is fine," he instantly responded. 

He wonderfully thought what a time had come! People are now shifting to ask about the well-, being of secondary things in our everyday lives. Human emotions are no longer as much practical to all of us. 

Such a question could not hold the power to delight and inspire, as well as to confirm the human emotions, but cause us to realise how humans have become stone-hearted in such a materialistic world. They are overlooking the genuine  serious matters related to the human emotions. 

They appear curious learning more about inanimate things used for our comfort in everyday life. The worth of human values has fallen to a comparatively lower level. Individuals have been made to wonder about the perfection of secondary things in life. 

This is a direct illustration of attributing higher value to those things that are not related to human vibrancy. Human lives are losing all due importance. We do not care much about human emotions. 

Will we ever escape the unnecessary grip of our life needs? From inhaling the fresh air to all the things required for our comfortable living we are slowly but increasingly trying to distance ourselves from our humanity.

If we have yet to fully recover from such a scene, we should ponder over remarkably genuine points now. Who has set their sights on changing the approach or choice that may bring a prompt answer?  

The obsessive cycle we have been regularly experiencing with the whims and turns of life's idiosyncrasies now has no end. Days may lag behind the passage of time, but as we regularly face everyday obstacles, we are undoubtedly embarking upon a straight path to develop a new viewpoint.
