Why

In today’s world we live in an atmosphere of uncertainty. Whether it’s reaching office or coming back home, the health of a loved one, the global economic scenario or even something as basic as the security of human life in a crowded market. Every act has a certain degree of uncertainty to it. Then why is it that to further add to this confusion we go about behaving or reacting in inexplicable ways to reasonably straightforward situations. Why do we knowingly or unknowingly face situations which are beyond logic…some funny, some interesting and some totally beyond comprehension? Read on…

Why..

..do parents who wanted their children to be engineers and doctors less than 2 decades ago want their grandchildren to be singers, dancers and painters ?

...do people curse recession but rush to buy houses at the same time, not aware of their repaying capacity 5 months hence ?

...don’t friends change when they move to another school,college,locality or even another country  but do so the very next day after their marriage ?

...is the Indian postal department ramping  itself up a solid 6 decades later, when people no longer write, read or respect letters ?

...are superstars of yesterday, far from being stars mere actors today ?

...is the waiting time longest in the shortest queue just because you are standing in it.(no !next time don’t try standing in the longest queue, the law reverses then) ?

…does everyone crave for it to rain and when it does rain goes about cursing it?

...are children so heartbreakingly cute?

...is work inexplicably hectic on the last day before you leave office for a long vacation?

...are colleagues just that....colleagues and nothing more. (in hindsight..thank god for small mercies) ?

...are arranged marriages so rare nowadays?

...are kids so intelligent these days?

...do kids see through a lie so easily?

...is it that you wait with bated breath to achieve something for a long time and when it does finally happen you are hardly excited about it?

...doesn’t money supposedly bring happiness and yet is craved for each single day ?

...does every work in India from building a house to changing a light bulb require so much of follow up?

.... does the common man talk so much corruption and still doesn’t accept that he is also is a part of the so-called “system” ?

….do people talk less and fail to communicate even though the modes of communication have gone up many manifolds?

….do people understand complex technological concepts so easily but fail to understand the simple facts of life ?

The list is endless and many questions don’t have straight forward answers, but one thing is sure, human beings have the ability to complicate things beyond the realm of normal understanding so that they motivated enough to move from one unfathomable situation to another. This is probably the only driving force for existence in this century.
