Is this the way of life

>>>>>>>It was Monday my first day to office. I was very much tensed. Day before that day, my friends asked party many times but I didn't give them as I was tensed. Monday Nov 20th 2003, my life’s first working day. I was a fresher, joined in Xxx Company; hr took me to cubical and introduced me to every one. I met my manager, he looked pretty cool. Even though I was tensed coz I was a fresher, didn’t have any corporate experience. My manager took me to cafeteria, and offered the lunch. I dont know, I didn't feel comfortable coz they were my seniors; Eating with them was bit difficult.

It was around 3'clock, he assigned a project work. He gave lot of materials and asked me to study. I rushed to home around 5'clock and started studying till 12'clock. I switched off my mobile as my friends used to call me to go coffee day. They are cool but I am not. Day by day I worked very hard to impress my project manager. I used to go office on weekends also. Even though shyama ranganath got best performer award. I was disappointed a bit. But I doubled my energy without wasting time roaming here and there. Finally I got a star of the xxx company award. I was very happy but still at the same time I was tensed as software market have gone down.

Life continued same way. My age also increased with the time. I got married, I took only 15 days leave as my project was in critical stage and moreover I was the only one who knew top to bottom of project. My wife pleaded like anything to go honeymoon, but honeymoon is wastage of money. Life continued. My wife was pregnant, after one successful delivery. Finally second delivery also went smoothly. I didn't spend a single rupee for medical and children education as my in law's are rich by birth. I simply collected my money so that I can make use of it when in bad situation.

Life continued. I went to onsite finally after doing lot of hard work, first time I visited US, what a country yaar. But I was tensed as it’s not safe to roam like in India. I saved a lot; I didn't spend the money at all. Every one of my friend called their wife’s to live with them in us ha ha.. They didn’t do any saving. That’s why I lived alone in us for 5yr. u knows I stayed with 4 room mates in 1 bhk, I saved $3k per month. It will be 120k inr. Huge money.

Life continued.... hey I didn't buy car also man, I used my in law's car, life after coming from us was good yaar, and I have huge bank balance. I have dream of going to madikeri, but I didn't have time to go. I thought I will go after I retire from office, that time there will be no work.

Life continued.............life continued.............life continued.............
Life continued.............life continued.............life continued..................................
Finally...............................

I would have done late night parties.... I would have gone to pubs; disco...I would have boozed and enjoyed life in nasha... I would have taken my wife to some shopping, trips.....
She is the only one always supported and treated like a mother... but I failed to make her happy....I would have gone for hunting in jungle... trekking..... I would have at least visited madikeri.... my dream place to live in...........I would have gone long drives... I love to go long drives..... I missed cofeeday chats with my friends....

Today Nov 24th 2038...... I am 60 yr old.... I have money, time..... I can't do anything except sleeping on the bed. To stand up also I need to take help of stick. I would have taken my wife to live with me in us... those 5yr living alone... where to bring those 5yr back... I am ready to pay 140k inr per month...
********Always I worried about tomorrow instead enjoying the today********
********Tensed a lot without a meaning**********
********what ever happens will happens...Wheather good or bad... we have to face*******
I missed everything........ Can I get back to my 24yr old age??????????????????????

The above story might happen to some ones life...... I dont want it to happen in my life at any cost......... I earn to spend..... I spend to live happily... we are living our own life so we have all rights to decide and make our life happy. When u looks back at the age of 60's you should feel that **OH MY GOD, I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING**, and you should smile all the way of you journey..........

Hope you all feel the same way. And make your every foot step a sweet memory.
