While running the marathon today, well it was mostly brisk walking and trying to catch up with excited 10 yr old Naman, I was struck with a thought !...... on how easy it is to buy new things, but how lazy it is to think of alternatives, especially when those free alternatives would do the job much better and cheaper than the original plan.
Somehow the system which is giving us money is also making us dependent on it. No longer are we, buying experiences, we are only buying products, without realising that we are happier and more satisfied when we have experiences.
And thats why, today's marathon ( walk ;-) ) was so important. We share these experiences and we cherish them. And one photo was enough to capture the 1 hr sweat.
and then is the culture of taking selfie, it seems we indians are forefront of all fads and fashions. We really are narcissist. Somehow through out the marathon, the one thing which kept me going on was the sharing of the final pic, the triumph on whatsapp.
It seems I have deviated. Every single consumption that I do, I keep on thinking why dont i go online and see how other people have worked out on solution to this problem before pushing button on flipkart. and mind you, i do it very often. I would rather buy one more T-shirt than trying to sort out my almirah. Thats lazy for you.
So my next blogs would be on creativity and Ultra short term planning.
