Noise

So many noises in the head that bother us all the time. Everyone is engaged in many multiple transactions, defining priorities, defending prerogatives, working overtime to meet deadlines, postponing deadlines! These different things pull us in many directions thus leading to many decisions on home, career, children, education, politics, socio-economic concerns, medical insurance...and many more such transactions.


Does this push us to seek gratification at various levels and personify us in different avatars all the time? Reports say that in the last decade, the size of data being pushed at us is doubling every 18 months. Is that not an overwhelming number? New gadgets, new white paper, new medicine, new government projects, new taxes, new documentations, new identities...and a rush of multiple websites and information centres, kiosks...whew!! The different players in us may want to do many things.

1. The Activist - wants to reach out to the isolated and troubled civilians and do something

2. The artist - wants to create something, bring a positive change, be generous

3. The politician - wants to change the way things work in various spheres of our lives

4. The policeman - wants to bring order in the chaos

5. The ego - wants to be appreciated and made important

6. The submissive - wants to emerge from the shadows!

There is noise all the time. Quiet is luxury...racing on to some unknown destination and seeking an unknown destiny, everyone is busy in the din! We hide behind the din everyday and take the din to bed with us!

So true.
