Fast life, fast food, phatafat generation etc…. Hmmm… Is there anything called slow life, slow food!! I am tired of hearing the word fast and other synonyms of FAST..
Why everyone wants to go so fast?? Doesn’t anyone want to stay back and enjoy every bit of life??!!
I was on my way back home, yawning in the cab at 8 pm ( 12+ hrs at office had drained my energy!!) and I had tuned in the radio so that I don’t sleep off without realizing my stop!! Radio jockey, Pallavi was speaking so fast and the Radio1 punch line being - “94.3 radio one for the phatafat generation”.. This made me think for a while as to why everyone is in hurry!! Why are ppl expecting us to do or get things phatafat!!
Why can’t everything go on in optimum speed?? Ok, now I am not asking everything to go on slowly but at least at optimum speed can be expected right?
In the morning when we come to office, I see the private cars arranged in a row close to exit point.. I guess people who come early had parked it there…. But isn’t it that they have some time to park their vehicles a bit away from the exit, so that the latecomers who have less time can park it close to gate and rush in??
We often get to see hotels named with suffix as “fast food”.. Don’t we have time to even have breakfast/ lunch/ dinner? Earlier ppl used to work hard so that they would get a plate full of food and better shelter… But these days ppl are working so hard that they are not finding time to even peacefully have food.. Then why are we working so hard??
Our cab driver also drives very fast and at times breaks the traffic rules but no one in the cab complaints coz all of us are used to travel in office cabs… I am not blaming the cab drivers of our company coz it’s the case with all other company cab drivers too. They have a pressure to drop us at our stop in the least possible time, so they speed up… While we have spared to spend 12+ hrs at office, another 15 mins hardly matters.. Isn’t it?
The RJ in the radio stations speaks so desperately and land up misspelling words and sometimes jovially fights with the co radio jockey with almost all the slang in kannada, just to make sure their show keeps going, no matter what non sense they speak!!
The adds that they play in between the songs also sounds like tongue twisters at times, especially adds related to mutual funds are the most confusing one. Till date I have deciphered it only as “Mutual funds are subject to market risks..plz read the offer documents carefully before investing” Is this sentence said so that no one understands what is the warning all about??
All I want to say is that, let everything go on in optimum speed.. In the verge of going fast we are missing out something which we are searching for and we miss out to see many beautiful things around…

I find it so confusing...
They say Life is in on a fast lane... yeah it is.... but with slow moving traffic....
Optimum speed... now what it is it? The speed so that we may not break down... the actual problem is that people r not sure whether in future they wud be able to earn what they r earning now. Therefore everyone wants to make the best of the present.. And that's the root cause... that's what i believe!
Easier said than done..Life!

Life is not as easy as you take it. You can do everything in optimum speed. The speed in which the people are moving is the optimum speed. or else it will be considered as slow moving like our slow moving traffic. This is a Good post about optimum speed. :)
hats off!!! to your thoughts....
@Suresh : All i meant is lets slow down atleast in few basic things like having food or in speaking to someone.. Lets make ppl understand what we want to say rather than just blabbering..
@DPhatsez : Yes, its easy to say but difficult to slowdown.. Its life..
@Anil : May be true :) Thanks anyway :)
@Sunitha : I get to see so many things around me.. and thats what i pen here..
This is one of the commonly seen event in everyone's life.U have penned it so beautifully and practically that it provokes everyone to pause for a sec and think in which speed they are in and what they are missing out in their race of life.
Keep up the distinct work sweetie..
