22 years of triviality

Objectivity has been attributed to almost every thing we do, right from taking tests, to assess machine capabilities or to your appraisals. Now we are coming up with various indices to measure Intelligence, Knowledge, emotions etc. I.Q, E.Q, K.Q may be just indices but what relevance do these hold in the current scenario you may wonder .Well for starters people measure Intelligence but do the measure its relevance with the field we work in or at least with our existence. The answer to this would be no. These are taken as universal in nature. This is very similar to the Indian mentality; we try to attribute one index to everything –money. With the booming economy we are nowadays not averse to a decent and some times flamboyant life style .The reason for this is the increase in the pays are good enough for a decent living but not adequate to invest in anything concrete like land , jewellary ,etc.. The average Indian middle class have found these two media of investment the most viable and rewarding but with the depreciating KQ(Apparently men are getting duller)people no more see these avenues viable or simply do not have the expertise to excel in these areas . Nowadays clothes and Beer is all that an average Indian male thinks about. Well we have stopped seeing beyond the job we do and the people we work with, the software field is a breeding ground for such individuals. They seem to lack the insight into anything except their job and the sad part is they aren’t even curious about any of this stuff. The problem is that the software field assures a decent salary and takes care of quite a few issues that an individual had to tackle with in the past hence people have become complacent. Moreover the software field needs a person to work for long hours on aspects which are not exactly challenging enough to enhance their intellectual capabilities and this has restricted man’s thinking capabilities and outlook.

This is how I end up after 22 years of uneventful “existence”. Well frankly speaking if I was to die now and my whole life flashed before my eyes I would be bored to death. People say life is an adventure; well I guess mine’s a misadventure of under achievements and bad decisions. Well my only solace would be that there are a million other mindless drones in the same position I am in and they aren’t even aware of it. Comedy of errors would be a simple was to summarize my life but frankly you can not enjoy a comedy if you are the lead for the same.
