On the Move...

What do you do when you cant go on a vacation? Coz its unethical to get out of work and take a holiday when you know that the prime time to work is NOW... but at the same time... your friends want to go on a holiday (and if i may add, they very well will) ... So what do you do??

Say NO. I think thats the most basic simple answer to all the unhappiness in life. Why say 'yes' first, then fight with everybody at work to let you go, just to realise you are fighting the right battle for a wrong cause.... and finally just get a NO as an answer from your boss, just spoiling your impression.... all the while letting the decision remain hanging in air. SO, to avoid many disappointments that are bound to come later and ruining your friends' happiness and patience, simply say NO.

The reason for my cribbing is that Amul is almost headed to Gir with his brother (chintan),  Mayur (friend) and Kevin (Scottish Australian Friend). Now when you cant get out of Ahmedabad for a holiday... and you cant even stop Amul from going... this entire melodramatic 'i hate him... but how do i stop him either?' feeling starts churning in your head...

Its a complete Urban life stress dilemma as the psychologists would call it. Had i been a villager, i would have never be working as a journalist, nor would be in this highly stressful job nor would have to deal with bosses netheir fight with my emotions. Its only because i live a urban life that i have to deal with these kind of things. Its literally like 'not going and not wanting him to go'... i know i am being cruel and self centred... but i am just being honest.

But if one has to be practical and ideal, i will have to just get on with my work as if 'it doesnt bother me' and stop thinking about it. And that's exactly what i will do. I hope Amul has great fun at Gir forests. I would have loved to go but perhaps its not meant to be.
lets look at the happier side though... i fell upon this site.. which has a photoessay on 'People in the car on move'... I hope you all enjoy the pictures... here's to people who have freedom to 'move'.
