A vent in the Delirium

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes.

Moving on in life from being a student to an employee. One encounters lots of change. Change that affects almost all spheres of your life. There is a change in your surroundings, in your dialect, in your dressing and in your personality. There are new friends, new ways of having fun, new work hours and a new source of money.

You suddenly realise the independence you have but also the responsibility that comes along with it. If we retrace to how the change really began. We'll realise that it all began only because we came out of our shells seeking money. It was the thirst of earning and the social norm that pushed us out of our dens. Ev...

The routines in any of the myriad phases of your life are monotonous. Life moves on a smooth track in a set of routines from morning to bed. The time you rise, the time you go to bed, the same cycle of work everyday. Then suddenly you step out of that monotonous phase to stir everything up and metamorphosise through the painful change. This at the beginning has something new to offer everyday. Slowly but surely this new phase also starts becoming monotonous and life even with all its struggles becomes boring. The aberrant suddenly becomes the usual. Returning home at 9 p.m. Looking after your own clothes. So many other such menial tasks you never knew existed before. All this becomes a part of your life and is a part of your usual day to day job. All these changes made to our lives are irreversible. Recreating the old times is impossible. Even if you go back to the old times, you'll notice everyone else has moved on to a new life. Now you'll have everything that you did...
