“Yesterday, I was driving, and the FM radio went off for few seconds. I

thought, I should have an iPod. Then suddenly I realized that I have not

used my iPod in last 6 months. And then… more things, Handy cam in last 2

years, Digital Camera in last 2 months, DVD player in last 1 month and

many more. Now I can say that I bought that Handy cam just out of impulse,

I have used it twice only in last 4 years.

So, whats wrong and where? When I look at myself or my friends I can see

it everywhere. We are not happy with what we have but all are stressed and

not happy for the things we don’t have. You have a Santro, but you want

City… You have a City, but you want Skoda. Just after buying a new phone,

we need another one. Better laptop, bigger TV, faster car, bigger house,

more money… .I mean, these examples are endless. The point is, does it

actually worth? Do we ever think if we actually need those things before

we want them?

After this, I was forced to think what I need and what I don’t. May be I

didn’t need this Handy cam or the iPod or that DVD player. When I see my

father back at home. He has a simple BPL colour TV, he doesn’t need 32″

Sony LCD wall mount. He has a cell phone worth Rs 2,500. Whenever I ask

him to change the phone, he always says… “Its a phone, I need this just

for calls.†And believe me; he is much happier in life than me with those

limited resources and simple gadgets. The very basic reason why he is

happy with so little is that he doesn’t want things in life to make it

luxurious, but he wants only those things which are making his life

easier. It’s a very fine line between these two, but after looking my

father’s life style closely, I got the point. He needs a cell phone but

not the iPhone. He needs a TV but not the 32″ plasma. He needs a car but

not an expensive one.

Initially I had lot of questions.

I am earning good, still I am not happy…...why ?

I have all luxuries, still I am stressed.... ....... why ?

I had a great weekend, still I am feeling tired...... why?

I met lot of people, I thought over it again and again, I still don’t know

if I got the answers, but certainly figured out few things. I realize that

one thing which is keeping me stressed is the “stay connected†syndrome.. I

realized that, at home also I am logged in on messengers, checking mails,

using social networks, and on the top of that, the windows mobile is not

letting me disconnected. On the weekend itself, trying to avoid unwanted

calls… and that is keeping my mind always full of stress. I realized that

I am spending far lesser money than what I earn, even then I am always

worried about money and more money. I realized that I am saving enough

money I would ever need, whenever needed. Still I am stressed about job

and salary and spends.

May be, many people will call this approach “not progressive attitude“,

but I want my life back. Ultimately it’s a single life, a day gone is a

day gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I’ll never be happy

tomorrow morning. I finally realized that meeting friends, spending

quality time with your loved one’s; spending time with yourself is the

most important thing. If on Sunday you are alone and you don’t have

anybody to talk with, then all that luxuries life, all that money is

wasted. May be cutting down your requirements, re-calculating your future

goal in the light of today’s happiness is a worthwhile thing to do. May be

selling off your Santro and buying Honda City on EMIs is not a good idea.

I believe putting your happiness ahead of money is the choice we need to

make.

I think, a lot can be said and done but what we need the most is

re-evaluation of the value of happiness and time we are giving to our life

and people associate with it.
