After a long six months of leave from the scheduled and organised life Singapore, I am back again here. Life here in Singapore is alrite. Business here is as usual. Nothing has changed. Its exactly the same. I think I liked Udaipur a lot where life may be slow but brings different things everyday. It keeps changing there in every passing moment. Life here in the advanced cities like Singapore is very fast but is stagnant. Life has almost stopped experiencing the newness. Everyday is the same old thing. The place may have changed here with new infrastructures and buildings but life is as usual. Life here is predictable with the same pattern. There are no surprises.
Simplicity and calmness of life loses its charm in the metros. The deep dark nights in Kotra, the fear of ghosts, the sounds of the river and the chirpings of the birds, the narrow dirty streets, the stray cows, the red trucks, and the roadside tea stalls...Not here dude. What you have here is....tall sky scrappers, shopping malls, multiplex and the artificial wonderlands..Last weekend, I, along with some good old friends visited a new and much talked Shopping mall besides the Sentosa Island. We wached the movie called "The Freedom Writers Diary".
The view from the Mall was great. Wish you were there with me.....but you were not there, and will not be there anymore. This was a wakeup call to the subconscious human dreams.....that was the tragic end of the purity of a heart. "Freedom of human being is necessary, but have no idea about the effects of the freedom of human hearts". It really hurts....Cage it, confine it.....Its time for the wandering tribes to settle down.
