Those Mannequin manners!

Beep..Read..one message received .So are you joining the party tonight?That was my friend Geisha who couldn’t just wait to cover these weekend parties as and when she was asked to. Yet another ostentatious display of the so called “ High Society People”.I thought’.

I coudnt understand the modus operandi with which these lesser mortals always stood high without a good reason or cause. Every single person had a story to share, full of their relationship troubles and how many bucks they spent last night. Geisha could never comprehend the resentment in my eyes when I was asked to accompany her to these places. Places they were, of melodrama and fake wisdom. We enter with our tiny miniatures (cameras) to gauge the push and pull of that materialistic world. Bar tenders exhibiting their art as beautifully as they could, discussions full of that “whos who” of the party tonight and angst between various members present for reasons they knew better. Who wants to know if the other person next to you bought a Da Milano or a Gucci? Any dud who has money can indulge into these temptations! You are astounded to see that prim and proper lady in that party who is just like a mannequin displayed with the best of clothes a store guy owns.Once the outer shell fades away then is the chance to delve deep inside her thoughts and inner beauty. If she wins your heart with that,indeed shes way too perfect! But such people are rare to be found!
We spend hours thinking about wealth and the hard way to get it but we forget what we are as human beings. We definitely have come across our elders saying” Bhalai ka zamana nahi hai, thoda tez banna padega” . I say in the hustle and bustle of earning our bread and doing the best of things to be at par with our peers, we should not lose our dignity. Be as ordinary as you are! Why should one forget the roots and sanskaras with which our parents have nurtured us. Life is about keeping our virtues intact inspite of all the footfalls and unpredictable situations.The use of our intellect will make us even wiser one day!But alas! That’s the sad story all of us have to share. We don’t have the “time” to think about our karmas but all the time to discuss and critize what others did and where they went! The almighty has endowed us with magnanimous light in the form of our soul but we never dig hard into it. Its time we take a step forward to become that child of the divine as we entered this world innocently years back. Vanity might not be a food for our souls but our humanity indeed is!
