I have terrible insulin resistance issue - i.e insensitivity to insulin.
It's because at one time I overloaded my body with junk - pastries and hot chocolate fudge. You know how calorie loaded these things are. No nutrition. Just calories. So, it was just natural that my body does not know how to process food now.
Today, I randomly checked some headline "serial X replaced by serial Y". I don't know abt these 2 serials. After my rendezvous with the super talented Barun Sobti in Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon ended, I never dared to venture into serials.
This got me thinking. So, if the viewership declines, we quickly change the serial. That means, we never cared about the serial and its content and its actors in the first place.
All we want, is viewership - which is popularity, which means ads and money.
We're doing more of more things nowadays. So nothing has its value.
I think we're dishing out more movies every week, so there's no more fun in going to the movies. Earlier we'd wait a year to see one Mani ratnam movie.
Now with movies being churned in hundreds, even the good ones get wiped off. No one remembers movies.
We used to get only 2 new clothes a year and there was much planning and anticipation for those 2 dresses.
We hardly ever got to eat out or eat snacks outside, so when it happened, it was a celebration.
There are so many channels, so many serials, no one cares about most things.
When there was just chocolate, vanilla and strawberry - life was better.
Now with 200 flavours, we're only more confused.
Our sensitivity to things have reduced due to over exposure.
I don't think it's good.
Over eating reduces the body's sensitivity to food.
Over working reduces sensitivity to work.
Over TV watching reduces the sensitivities of the eye.
Today, every kid has more toys than an entire class used to have in our days. I hardly remember being gifted toys. It was rare.
So, today, when a kid gets 3-4 toys a week, you know the state of each toy.
When 5 rapes are reported in a day, we lose our sensitivity to the issue. We think its casual. It happens.. Shit happens.. So, over reporting leads to less sensitivity to news.
We have fast transportation today. Earlier, the trips and the occasional weddings were planned in such detail. You just couldn't go to any place just like that.
Today, a single family's petrol bill per month exceeds the monthly grocery budget of most lower middle income families. I feel guilty whenever we go on long drives. It's precious fuel we're wasting and we're clogging the roads.. Roads are choked with road attacks.
Everything we do comes with some cost.
We're choking the planet and ourselves.
We're becoming insensitive. Most things have no value.
Then, what are we living for? Does life have a meaning?
Only when we're sensitive to ourself and our surroundings we can enjoy life to the fullest.
