Choti Choti Baatein

Often, we are so busy in our daily rush, we overlook and undervalue little blessings bestowed upon us. The homemade food, soaking in the sunlight, walking on grass, a walk hand in hand, enjoying the rain, and watching tv together. Now we have no time to sit and eat with family, though we do have meals with gadgets. Vitamin D has gone down sitting in fully air-conditioned rooms. Too busy to walk on grass as we move in cars and cabs cursing the traffic and chasing office hours. Romance and walking hand-in-hand are replaced by gadgets and arguments. Rains often annoy us due to the potholes and jams they cause. And who will watch TV together when we all have separate gadgets and subscriptions.

When did life change so much? Chasing money to give a good future to our kids, we often overlook the present we are spoiling. The future we envision may not even exist. Little by little, step by step, we are getting mechanical and mad and chasing the unending quest. The quest for money, a bigger car, higher packages, and a lavish future. Not seeing the sacrifices, we are doing and messing up life with every step.

Your position may grow, and so may your income. But the time that is sacrificed is never gonna come. Never again your child will want you to read that storybook, never will your parents will wait for your call. Never will your spouse wait to have a meal with you, and never will they share their daily life with you. They will learn to live with your busy schedule and absence. Never will any amount of supplements you take, will give you the necessary dose of Vitamin D. Never will you be able to buy all of these, with the income you earn! The choti choti baatein will never return. Make sure you enjoy what you have today, coz nothing is permanent, and this day will not stay.
