Live today Die tomorow

الله ، واشكركم على هذه الحياة الجميلة

I have been wanting to make this post for a long time
lot of thoughts going though my head
i am confused, i donno what is right & what is wrong

when i was a kid mom used to give me 5Rs while going to school
that was my budget
i could buy anything at all with that money!!
& i used to wait every morning for tht moment
in fact no matter what I have, that 5Rs would be enough to make me happy
i could have some sweets, sip-up and a Pepsi if all my friends pool in the balance (.50+2.5+1.5+.5+......)

times have changed... now i earn many times for than my 5Rs
but it is never enough
never at all
every end of the month I suffer for it
all of a sudden my needs have changed, the 5Rs have lost its value
i woudnt mind tipping a guy 20Rs now which would have been my meal for 4days just a few years back

but still i say its not enough
what has changed??

now I sytarted planning for the future
i want a house
a car maybe
& all the luxuries the world has to offer
for that I save today

i dont take proper meals today..
i dont enjoy with my friends even though I have the money for it
i now have all the money I wanted before but I am not having
I can buy a pepsi all for myself without my friends pitching it
yet I am not happy
i am saving for the future
i am saving for my car
i am saving for my house

I am living for the future

I see a lot of people around me
i have friends from different walks of life
all with different thoughts
all different in every way
i am sure I cant get them all together in 1 room without a huge brawl..

& looking at them I wonder how we should live life

on one side is people who live life as if there is no tomorrow
taking life as it comes
people who found college as a place to have fun
had maximum fun in college & still doing so
working & earning enough to keep themselves happy for the day
they dont worry bout the future
they want to live their day as if there is no tomorow...
they dont plan for the future...
they consume what they have & share the rest with others

then there is the other extreme of my friends
people who plan about their future to such an extent, that I am sure they know where they will be buried when they die at 65years..
these are the people who slog in college to get the number 1 spot
for them there is no cricket, no chit-chat, no trips
its only living for the future
for them, they dont have fun now... since for them they need to be successful in the future
these people do not live now
they are mere ghosts who come & leave our lives without any influence
for them, they want to live in the future
they are CEOs, CIOs & MDs of the future
i have no doubt about that...

in between these two extremes I belong
i donno what is right & what is wrong
shud i live as if there is no tomorow & pay for it in the future
or shud I waste the prime time of my life worrying bout the CEO post at 35years..

what if I dont exist in the future
what if there is no tomorow
what if one fine day the almighty calls me to his side...
what will happen to all my plans
what will happen to all that savings for my house or my car
what is the use for that pieces of paper??

we spend our lifes worrying bout the future & what if there is no future
what if the world ends tomorow & u have only 24hours to live
will all those money be any use to you
will all the fun you missed out for years come back to u

i donno what is wrong or what is right
but i know what i am going to do

Live today & Die tomorow...
