Beautifully appealing cosmic with
greenery is what is being buried under the new E-LIFE or electronic life of
metro homosapiens. Yes, the electronic life where all seasons are spent being
the gizmo geeks. And the fact that nature is the epitome of beauty is pretty anonymous
to those geeks. So the life in a metro smacks of that fast paced
life,relentless hours of work the entire day and the clock strucks twelve
again. No less but now even the nights experience the day toil instead of mind
resting in subconscious level. Crowd is running after PENNY , POWER ,
POPULARITY. The 3Ps envelopes the city life downright. As mentioined above
E-LIFE and 3Ps are the main ingredients of urban city life. They have become
the faded dots on the canvas of a city life which are required to complete the
picture of urbanism. Personal time, personal relationships, personal health all
are at stake. In this burgeoning population time waits for none. One after the
other is just moving ahead targetting to leapfrog others in the rat race
leaving behind the peace, serenity, beauties and bounties of the natural
world. We live life at full speed. Our foot
is on the throttle at all times. Our REAL world has now become the REEL world.
The swanky mode of luxurious city life
has made an artificial aura around us. And that is what is making us forgetting
HIS most unique gift to us-emotions. In this paradox wired world selfishness,
hatred, hostility, utter cravings, competition etc have taken the lead. We are
so engrossed in the work,materialism,facilities associated with the city folks
that the reality of our existence TOGETHERNESS and affiliation is on the verge
of extinction. "ME" has vanished the feeling of "WE" in the
metropolitan cities. What we need is the just 3Ps. The glamour of REEL world
has actually stolen the simplicity of REAL world. More the cities are
shimmering,more of stress they are providing. Very well observed by Shakespeare
"our body is a garden to which we are its gardeners". We are
responsible for whatever we are doing to our health. The busy hectic schedule
also left the urban dwellers with poor health. Stress, depression are
increasingly noticed problems among the working class. According to a recent
survey 43% adults suffer from negative health effects due to stress. Fast
places tend to have high death rate,coronary heart disease, high smoking rates
and greater subjective well being. Therefore life in a metro encompasses more
around pessimism. Pace of life is fastest in Japan, Western Europe and slowest
in economically undeveloped countries. The most queer of all was the study
reported by The Occupational Safety & Health Administration that stress
costs American industry more than $300 billion annually. Hard work makes one a
high profile but what is the use of such work if ultimately at one point of
life he exhausts and is not even left to savour the life of fame. So the need
of the hour is give yourself a break. The unveiling fact is CONNECTIVITY TO
NATURE. Nature has all destressors within it. A deep breath within the fresh
morning air takes us away from all the chains of materialism. What is to be
realised is that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".A
simpler real life enjoying admiring HIS natural creations is a treasure. Hunt
for it. And in order to acheive this set an evironmentalist approach- BE A
PRESERVER NOT A DESTROYER. Instead of destroying the natural flora for selfish
purposes, man must develop an
affiliation with nature,taking out time from the hours of blithering work and
devoting it in increasing the green cover.
The challenge is laid before you :
what will you choose? FAST or SLOW? EASE or DISEASE? LIFE or DEATH?
Unveil the face of green, lights of
celestial bodies, beauty in growth of buds, fragrance of petals, flow of
crystal clear stream, the white ice..the enraptureness they bestow is BEYOND
the penny, power, popularity..the 3Ps and the E-LIFE.
THE MORE SIMPLER IT IS, THE
MORE BEAUTIFUL IT IS.
