Life Vs Race..!!

Few hours back, I was surfing net as usual, when by chance i got through the link that contains Darwins Theory of existence, It was not a new theory for me, It was the same theory which fetches me an ever remarkable “A” in Biology, but i never look at it in the way , as i’m seeing  it now.. At that time it was just a theory for me, and I was not least interested in what its meaning and why it was??, i just know that if i would remember this theory, then i’ll score 5 more marks in Biology and that is the way I’m living life through ages. Since the day we are born we found ourselves in the crowd, where we have to fight for our existence, even in our existence we have to make a fight with millions of sperm, and then when at the end of this fight we need to call ourselves lucky, we found that it was just the beginning and competition increases day we day, we begin to run in this race because we know this is the only way to get survive, and we found what we have learnt is just running and running.

Recalling one of the oldest incident of my life when i was in class 1st, i got 99 percent, but even than my rank in class is 2nd, What the world wants from us is complete output, Science says nothing in the world can be 100 percent efficient, but on the same side it is the same science which want us to be 100 percent, there is no place in this world for getting 2nd rank, but who knows that there is no such a huge difference between the one who get 2nd rank and 1st rank, but in the world there is no place for being second. There are only two places first is 1st and second comprises rest. Since the day we are born we find our backs to be uploaded with kilos of books, I feel pity when i see a 4 year child living in front of my house, requesting his mom for helping him to do his homework but on the same side, its his mother who is saying how sincere is my child, I’m seeing his bright future. Since the day we are born we have been taught that we can only live happy life, if we study, that is not a lie, but the way it’s been taught is just to make us feel that we have to run in a race. Even I salute study to such an extent that its not only the Roti, kapda and makan that are the primary needs for existence but education is also a part of it. But the thing that is wrong is the way it is being conveyed, If anyone ever thought why a small child weeps when his rickshaw wala calls his name, because he thinks he’s going for another race, where he’s been tested and day after day he become so habitual of this running that he forgets this weeping, what he remember is just running and running..

I remember the time when i was preparing for my engineering entrance examination, I was admitted in top 2nd batch, and i was freezed just after two days, I found myself surrounded with inferiority complex, till the time i understand the meaning of question the answer been put out by someone, I started studying more and more, I did my best but when the result came out my Mom says agar itna padhne se hi hone lagta to sabka ho jata.. There were 3 lac candidates and there were only 3000 students, and we were again running a race for those 3 thousand seats, why because then we get into a good college, we shall get a good life partner and we then live a happy life, but we don’t ever realise then even after getting into it we run another race in the studies of college and when we come out of it we again run a race in professional world and our this race ends with our breathes. Life is long, we meet persons and we learn something from everyone, there shall always be an everlasting love, a beloved friend, a respectable role model and unforgettable heartbreak in everyone’s life. And they are all what makes this race interesting, some of us are good gifted who start running the race from mid but few are unlucky how has to run from beginning but later or earlier we found ourselves to be a part of this race.. Sometimes I feel sick of this race and want to get some comfort, but at the same moment,I realise there are many who are running at the same time and i’ll remain last in race, and then i start running without knowing where i’m runnig because i have been taught that to live you have to run, To be happy you have to run and to be a part of this race you have to run. Some are the faces that get lost in this race, some are the persons  whom we meet in this race, some are the persons who overtakes us in this race, some are the persons whom we overtake, but later or sooner we all ends at the same spot, the thing that made me to write this blog is the fact if we all shall finally reach the same end, then why we all are running, quite ridiculous.. 🙂
