Just finished watching, 'One life to love' - a show on NDTV Good Times. A good philanthropic show, equally good is the host Simran Bhargava. She signed off by quoting 'Never get so busy making a living that you forget to live'.
Its been doing rounds in my head since then, and here i am succumbing to verbal diahhorea. Ive seen a few people working so hard round the clock, that they've compromised on sleep, life , TV, meeting friends etc. Remember that email about 5 balls, that had the conclusion that work is a rubber ball, you drop it, it'l bounce back. But life, friends, family and spirit wont. And these 4 balls are most dropped, ignored and kicked.
Work seems to be ruling our lives and defining us. As soon as we meet someone, we ask 'What do you do?'. Work has become the centre of the universe for us,and like a blackhole its slowly pulling us into it. Impending Deadlines and piles of deliverables is all we worry about. But somewhere in the background, there is a larger picture of life, that beckons us.
Slow down, i tell to myself. Its a long race and i do not want to burn out the midnight oil!! Afterall, All work and no play, makes jack a dull boy!
Will hit the sack now. Good Night. And Mornin to the folks on the other side of the world! And you hardworkers toiling at workplace at midnight- Take a break!

Cheers to pulling night-mares and the workload we people are carrying on our little shoulders. We have become such a rats of society eh!
