recently my mom completed her 25 years in the bank.she was awarded memento on the annual day of the bank.it surely was a happy moment for everyone in the family.but this also brought about another feeling in my mind.my mom had just one job,just one bank in her entire lifetime.but now-a-days the young working class changes jobs faster than the time between equinoxes,seeing this scenario ,i guess,the 25 year mark in a company will be substituted by a 5 year mark.complete 5 years in one place and dude,you are eligible for honor.but what has changed in these years.why has the youth changed so much?why does the ignited mind be the rolling stone throughout the life?is the chance of growth less?maybe,but is the job all about money?the office used to be the second home.we have friends,mentors,our space,memories and anecdotes embedded in that very job.then how does the youth break all this?is the bonding among people all lost or have people become insensitive ?me ,being a youth,can assure you that human bonding is still deeply embedded in our hearts and we still can go beyond all degrees for someone close to our heart.then why is this thing occuring?
after some retrospection i managed to stumble about a few things which can lead to this reason.now-a-days jobs are all about high rise and high stakes.almost every job which pays you amazing salaries is mostly an multinational company.all the jobs which the employees work on are outsourced.so basically these "nighthawks"(this is what the people in u.s.a. call their employees in India as we work when its night there).the nighthawks do not know whom do they work for.they don't even know their own bosses.plus looking at the enormous stream of people being recruited in this industry especially the IT industry,personnels are available in plenty.co-workers are changed every month or so,to increase efficiency.a person working in such a company has very little contact with anyone.all he has is colleagues but no friends.earlier ,people used to bring lunch boxes ,share stories along with each others meals.these things just evaporated by this IT and coffee culture.the work which we do today lacks human touch.the corporation do not have any respect for your emotions or feelings.they want you as long as you can do the job.the minute you are inefficient,there are several ready to occupy your place.you don't have a friendly chat with your clients or your boss as you don't know any of them.so the only thing you are working for is money.without humanity there is no life.this is precisely what the people in the IT industry feel.they get high salary and lucrative offers but hardly anyone is satisfied with their job.this is why people are changing jobs at the speed of sonic boom.no creative satisfaction,no job satisfaction and no fun,just work and work.and you are getting paid for it.but is that 5 figure salary enough a repayment for everything that you have lost?
this lack of human touch is a prime cause of sadness among the working cause.but we also see the young generation which is studying,depressed.i rarely find a student who is happy from the inside.the time we pass our 10th exam and start our so called career deciding ascent,depression and bouts of sadness are seen cropping up among students.the amount of students smoking and drinking have increased enormously due to these very reason.but why are we always sad?why is the youth under so much of pressure?the rat race??is the competition this bad?i completely agree to the cut throat contest among the students when everyone is trying to secure the checkered flag,but is this all?look deep inside the heart and you will find a sense of emptiness?why has that feeling arrived?when we were young this hasn't been experienced.this is not due to any rat race.then why is this feeling in my heart?is this because of the same absence of human touch?but then you will argue that we got good friends in college.i agree and i am never stating that my observations are always the truth.they can be very much a big fat lie also.but my friends,didn't you guys notice the growing hypocrisies and double standards increasing day-by-day among the students of today?can you affirm that every friend of ours is a person who will do everything possible for you,whom you can trust with anything and everything ,who will help you in times?if no,then the person is not a friend.then who is it?why are you telling yourself that this person is a friend of yours?i see people faking all the time.students never show or are afraid to show what they really are from inside.everyone wears a mask behind a mask behind a mask...students are good to even their enemies,conveniently stabbing in the back when time arrives.people don't really care about you and will do everything to pull your leg and climb over you to attain success.money,parties,standards and etiquettes are becoming the criteria of friendship.do we really need such people,if you ask me no...but then you will find yourself living the life of a recluse.when everyone is wrong,the right one often is considered wrong or an idiot.a person must have immense mental strength to rise above this ugly system.a few good friends is ,more precious than 100 of friends who praise you and abuse you behind your own back.and to tell you the truth,sadly ,many people of this new generation are in this system.i have seen birthday parties where expensive gifts are being exchanged but there is no emotional bonding in them.its a give and take, i give him something now expecting that he will give me something later.if this give and take doesn't happen then you become and bad friend.the purity of friendship is pruned by politics;and the life in this lifestyle has made the person selfish and hollow.
i just wanna conclude asking you one thing-"how will you be conscious if your soul is ugly and parched?"
