Realize the changes....

The world we are living today is not the world that our ancestors had lived in. The world in course of their times had been so tough for them. Their lives were indeed a living-hell for them all. Sometimes I wonder if they would have ever heard the word " Change?" Because there were no changes at all in their lives. People were isolated by the high mountain ranges and hills and the deep valleys and terrains. But today we can feel and see that our mother-land(Earth) had gone through so many alterations overcoming all sorts of challenges and obstacles. Today's world is a new world, well equipped with modern infrastructure. This is the world of 21st century where our world is on its continuous move towards modernization. Today our life has become easy and comfortable. People say" Life is not a bed of roses" but comparing to the living styles of our forefathers, I feel that our lives deserve to be called 'the bed of roses'.

There was a time where inter-personal and group communications were only possible and if there were some important messages to be passed from one place to another, it had to be routed either through the post-man or some responsible persons. And the sender had to keep awaiting for the reply which would take more than a week or two. There was also a time where we would  find those rejected letters and break up letters of young lovers sometimes inside the dustbin and sometimes on the way which now it can be found only in the inbox of their cells. People had to walk on foot while travelling to other places and they had to spend night on the way under the trees and caves. Long trips even caused muscle-cramp. But today's people travel by vehicles,planes,trains, ships and all and hold their nights in the comfortable hotels if they have to. Unlike our olden people, today we don't have to hold the night on the way which is actually very troublesome.

 The smoke-full houses have now become illuminated by the electricity and we don't have to make fire which makes us dizzy by blowing it till the woods start flaming. Day and night have become the working hours for those hard-workers  because of light. Torch had been at high demand when there was no electricity but now we can see street lights and mobile light. Today's people have become more greedy than our forefathers. In the olden days, even the nearby villages were as if they had been divided into the seven continents because there was not at all interaction among them and they barely move out of their provinces. But now in this 21st century, even the seven continents have become just like a small global village. Now the scenario of the world has entirely changed from the past. We can see, chat and also talk with the people across the globe. Moreover today's people have become dependent on machines. Nobody like to work in the fields. Everyone dreams to work in the office with computers and this is one of the reasons why there are higher rates of unemployment not only in our country but also in other parts of the world. There are so many noticeable changes which I have not mentioned. So, sometimes I get lost in imagining the future world. I wonder how this world will be like, in times our upcoming generations.. But I am certain that our world will be totally different from how it is during our time. Such thoughts sometimes prompt me to wish if there was no death so that I will be able to see the changes till the world ends.
