Interesting Blog.

Here is a blog that I read. Yes, this is true for me too. Especially the part which talks about where we stop relating to our home town.

I was just going through a blog with the same name while googling and thought this would make a fantastic one for me too.

For all those who think what that is , well it is one of those songs by my favourite Rock Band, the DIRE STRAITS. It's been more than a quarter century since they composed this song, but each time i listen to it , a gamut of emotions run through my self, which is inexplicable.

I somehow have this weird quality of associating some songs to some people and some happenings in my past. For e.g, whenever i hear the song romeo and juliet by Dire straits i can just think of one particular friend and it gets back all the good things as well as the bad things associated with her. When i listen to “Sweet Little Lies“ by Fleetwood mac, it gets back to me my childhood memories, when i used to play cricket at my home with my dad and my brother with my grandfather as the lone spectator, and he used to give us suggestions as to how the shot needs to be played on.

Life's moved on for me since then, as it does for everyone. My brother is in different time zone, and though i am relatively close to my father in terms of the geography , 2 hours by flight, but it just seems so far to me that, i feel as if we would never ever be able to have that kind of Fun.

I guess being an IT professional has got it's own disadvantage. People just talk about how good life is for an IT professional with the kind of salary and the lifestyle they can afford to live, but underneath it all, i don't think people would understand the sufferings and the sacrifices that has been made. Not for all, but most people who leave home and go to the different metro's in search of their “Dream“ Jobs and the huge pay packets, Often leave behind parent's who would trade off that money for the time that could be spent with their children.

The Professionals on their part, Lead a Nomadic lifestyle, but still crave for their childhood and time with their parents, but the reality hits you hard when you get back to the place where you came from, after a brief hiatus. You just dont seem to connect with the place, the surroundings, the people and the memories, which were once the best part of your life. All you can do is stay there for a very short time, 15-20 days at the max and then rush back to lead your life of melancholy, monotony and you find your solace in that. You snivel in your drawing room, spent sleepless nights in your bedroom, trying to find out what is that missing thing in the jigsaw puzzle of your life, which once seemed to be full and complete, but at the moment you have a feeling of hollowness.

That has been my personal experience so far and i guess many people can connect with me on that, you go to places, hang out with friends and with the Mall culture catching up fast in most major cities, you can easily while away your time with your Gf/bf doing window shopping through out the day and then ending that day with a dinner at a exotic place which is heavy on your pocket or go to a pub listen to music, have “FUN“ and then you again come back to your den having a feeling of Partial satisfaction.

But is this the real life you always wanted to lead???

Like i said at the start, there are somethings in life which have no rhyme or reason. I heard the song, started writing the blog and now i've written something which at the least could be termed as something which is very detached, which doesn't have any connectivity and yet which is how exactly things are in my life at the moment..

“I...have become Comfortably Numb“
