City Life !!!

Its not even a month here in the city of gardens and city of lakes as they call it , bangalore or bengaluru....

I really just don't know what to write or where to start...
i am still just dazed or am just so dizzy with the pace here i am not yet sure..

every morning i also try to start in the same pace as others, but somehow i feel lost by the mid of the day..

Every one here is in a hurry..
Hurried to get up in the morning..
To reach office in a hurry...
The bus cars bikes all r in a hurry....
hurry to avoid traffic...
hurry to reach someplace ...
hurry while walking not to miss the first bus that comes....
people reach office in a hurry... to start their work ..
then they work in a hurry.. to finish off the day's work..
then they leave in a hurry to reach home early ...
then they reach home, have dinner in a hurry to call it a day to start one more hurried day...

in all this thing... i keep on wondering...
why and what this hurry is all about...

work to rise up the ladder faster, own a bigger better flat, a softer and fluffier bed, a better education for kids, drive a even spacious and longer car....

on the contrary , few things here are never in a hurry..
there is no hurry for the clouds to rain... they just remain there for days before they rain.
the wind is not in a hurry .... to blow away the clouds to help the sun peek once in a while at people and places below...
the weather is not in a hurry to pass ... it just loves to be the spring that everyone here admires so much

in all this hurry-burry of my life which i don't know if i am also getting used to or still has time to get used to....
but i am wondering ...is life only this much to worry about, to hurry about !!!

what about the thing called life...
when did we enjoy that...

people boast about the beautiful weather here... but when do u enjoy it in the whole day i feel like asking... but never did as i am experiencing the answer everyday...no one has the time to do so...
when did u had the chance to sit quietly in ur apartment to enjoy a nice cup of tea with ur flatmate / spouse ...
when did u enjoy riding ur bigger better car and not just worried about getting hit by a fellow next to you...
when did u create the bond with ur colleague and not just worked and hurried back home....

all in this busy life everyone has just one next-to-do-thing on their mind .....
is everyone here so sure of their Destinations , do they know what they want in life, that the path does not really matter to them, only it matters how u reach there faster..

i am still asking the question... what about people like me ... who like to experience the path which leads you to your destination, after all memories are made on the way also not jsut at the destination ...
