The Master Plan

What according to you is the most painful?

Death of a beloved person!

Huh, then what about the dreams you let to die,

While you're still alive.


Long, long ago,

Just because your passion doesn't earn a good sum of money you expected for.

You killed it and buried it deep down,

Without anyone suspecting it.


Goodness gracious!

It was seriously one hell of a master plan you plotted and executed successfully.

The punishment you go through is the worst ever.

You see yourself becoming a graveyard of your dreams.

You just turned out to be a living body of a died dreams.


Just because you get a decent salary that falls into your bank account every single month is not your passion.

It can bring what ever you wish.

But, wait.

Can it bring the passion you buried?

Hell with the money!


No, not exactly.

Hell with the money you get from doing a job you are not intended to.

The money you earn by sacrificing your happiness is just a paper which took all the values from your life,

Just to get things that are only valued with that paper.


Life showed me the the ecstasy of doing the job you love.

Once when I was travelling in a bus,

I got to see an old women selling cucumber.

To cool the stomach of the one who buys, she dried herself in the scorching sun.

Even when no one was interested in buying the cucumber, she returned smiling.


How can somebody smile when they don't sell anything?

Maybe, the money she earns by selling these would only make her stove burn.

To make her stove burn, she has chosen to burn herself in the scorching sun.


To make my stove burn, I have chosen to make myself freeze in an air conditioned room at an I.T company.

The difference is even when she has nothing at the end of the day, she can still sleep peacefully.

Even when I have everything at the end of the day, I could not sleep.

Since, I was worried about my tomorrow's work.
