The great fall to the real world
People working in the industries are so much fun to watch. Reading people has been one of my favourite pastimes too.
I am not talking about those who are little bothered about jobs at office , but have no other topics to talk about when two friends meet in the evening over a mug of beer except how much stressed he is or how stupid and mean is his boss to cut his last appraisal to shreds. They are a highly adoptable species and will always survive feasting on others’ hard work.
Buy my prayer goes to those who sleep, breathe, walk and eat his job 24 × 7 hrs and demand others to inculcate their virtues too. Feverishly calculative , they rule their kingdom with the swaying hunter , mowing down everyone on the way to the top. Somehow, they remind me to those words of Julius Caesar, talking to Antony about Cassius - “He rarely smiles, and when he does smile, he does so in a self-mocking way, as if he scorns himself for smiling at all.”

Those who never felt the temptation of being a child seeing the autumn sky, murmur a soft song or feel the pleasure of reading a few lines of poetry, never cherished beauty and elegance with all the subtle perfections except careful gaze with piercing eyes through the end where flesh meets the clothes , life for those is surely a curse post retirement.
And when they return to their kingdom of past sometimes, does it hurt to find the honeybees, once used to encircle them, gone out on killing spree to some other places !! They look around for a place to rest the tired legs and someone to come forward and say " Gentleman, can you squeeze yourself here.."
No, I am not going to be the one like that. Rather, post those 10-12 hours , which buy food, shelter, social security, I will come back to my own world of imperfections.

( This post is not for those who left behind a legacy and mere thought of them bring out altruistic respect and indebtedness )
