This topic which i am about to blog today is something special and i believe at some point of time everyone might have felt that their interest lies elsewhere, some might even feel it while reading this blog :) yet, I continue this blog hoping that it might be of intereset to someone like me.
I thought of blogging about this topic long time back but in poetic form, and it so happened that i am not good in poetic presentation and my interests were elsewhere, so after quite a long time i am revisiting this topic in the form of essay.
Most of the time in my life the work i do were not of my interest say for eg., I wanted to play during my school days but, i studied giving less importance to playing. I studied, studied and studied till i get into college and all of sudden i felt the change in course of my life. I started to learn many things some with my knowledge and some without. At that young age, devoid of wisdom I believed in all that were told to me, never realizing the consequences of that belief.
I started working after my college but my interests were still at the college life and the enjoyment i am about to miss, not knowing the new lessons awaiting for me in this corporate world. Worked I to my ability putting all my effort and knowledge only to end up knowing the lies that were told to me when i was young. I hated knowing the truth but it haunted me and the more i learnt the more i suffered. Knowing truth increases your knowledge and you gain wisdom but, you will loose your innocense and you will no longer be yourself.
My interests were not the truth I learnt, not the work I do but I always end up in doing those. Time kept on moving yet, I havent found what my interests are and every single thing i come across, my heart kept on saying "my interest lies elsewhere". The quest continues hoping that one day my heart will say "my interest lies here".
For those who wish to know my presentation in peotic form, a small snippet
"When I started school, to study
My Interest was elsewhere
As days and months passby
studies became my interest
As young, eager to learn
knows not good or bad, learnt I
devoid of wisdom, believed I
whatever was told to me ........."

Fast and Furious
"Changes are constant in this world". This is the famous statemet ( do not know who said it exactly) but have heard it using in many places. So why do people always talk about changes because it is part of our day to day life, whatever we saw yesterday might get changed today say for eg., we had WTC (world trade center) yesteryear and today we do not have it. There are many such things which we had yesteryear and not now and the saddest part is that we do not realize that we are missing something as we care more about the changing future than the changed past.
But, if we stop for a moment and look back at the past about what have we lost some of us might regret for the changes happened and so am I. Its not like that I do not like the changes but the rate of the change is not good enough it occurred to me that the changes we experience now is way too fast and the impact of the changes is huge before we realize what we have lost we have to prepare ourselves for new change. it all occurred to me when i was watching a movie by the name "The Last Samurai". The movie talks about the tribe called samurai who fights against the rapid changes that takes place in their country and they say that these new modern world which adopted the western culture will lose their identity, True it is.
I started to recall things that i miss most in my life, and there are many as i kept on numbering the list were endless. For people who are mesmerized by the rapidly changing world, will not be able to get what i am trying to say here, but it is true that we have lost many things because of the rapid changes. one such thing is the capability of the humans and his skills were lost in this modernized world. I used to write a lot in my childhood days and now i do not even touch pen, everything happens in internet and i just type what ever i need to write and I fear that going forward there is a chance that people might forget how to write . In the olden days people were powerful and skillful and as the world evolved over time he got used to machines and his mechanical life where he just puts all his efforts into innovating some machines that do the job for him.
Men forget to realize by doing so the upcoming generations will not know the basics which would make them incapable of solving their problems if machines fails. People are so much engaged to cope up with the competing world and forgets to pass on the talent he posses. As a result machines has become the essential part of the life say in my life i used to carry mobile phones where ever i go and i am using a desktop computers in my work and use television daily and i am sharing this with the you guys in the internet.
Thinking deep in this topic i realized that many talents which my ancestors possessed were not passed down to me. They were able to tell time by looking at the sun rays but now i always have to look at my watch or mobile phone. Many of such arts are getting destroyed because of rapid changes in this world and people are struggling hard to survive in the modern world where they do not find time to pass on the talents they possess. The worst part of the changes are that it makes people get attracted towards it and make the people to use it and get rid of their own identity.
we can discuss a lot on this topic about how we lost ourselves in this modernized world but as i am not finding much time to do so, I conclude my blog here. I do not know whether i have presented it correctly but this we are loosing our past just to take advantage of changes, instead of increasing our capability we are increasing machines capability to do that work for us and we stay at the same spot completely relying on machines which might also beginning of the new era.
