AMIDST THE GLITZ

Today, the world around us work on the basics of POMP and SHOW. 

everybody wants to possess things that can awe anyone and everyone. Utility and price don't matter unless it is a boost to their status and gives them a reason to show-off.

the basic necessities of life- food, clothes and a roof have been upgraded to five course meal, branded clothes and a penthouse! quite simple marriage ceremonies are now great fat Indian weddings and telephone is now I-phone.

if you are not clad in expensive clothes, you will be bitched about. everyone wishes to own an Armani. Blackberry is a status symbol. If you organize a party it has to posh otherwise your guest attendance in the next one would be zero! 

even our idols believe in advertising their moolah.

 Mayawati spent seven hundred crore on a good for nothing green park just to immortalize herself.  No star ever repeats their clothes, worn once, thrown forever! 

Lalu Prasad Yadav, spent a hundred crore for his daughter's wedding.

  Even festivals have become a forum to brag about things. the one who has a larger Christmas tree is more respectable !

you can't change the world or the people in it but you can surely keep yourself grounded.

life has just become a rat race to attain a prestigious position in the society. but during this race, we fail to fill our pockets with love and mesmerizing experiences, afterall our mind and heart are busy putting up plans.

Simplicity can simplify things and make life easier. showing-off can earn you incredibly flattering praises but in the long run you will be accompanied by the same kind of self centered people!

  Being modest, in today's scenario is not easy and one eventually you develop feathers but we shall try to change ourselves.

bring back the true essence of festivals, get togethers, modesty and the real meaning of life!

"Yes i did chase the glitz, yes i did flaunt and brag about my riches

but what did i got in return?

a hollow soul ! "
