When did it all change?

This is a real sms I received from a friend... It set me thinking... When did it all change? And did it change for all? Are there more people out there who really are doing what they wanted to do all along? Is this just mid-life crisis? Have a look...

I am sitting 'n thinking
thinking hard about life. How it changed from a simple college life to the strict professional life.

How the pocket money changed to huge pay cheques. But the happiness became as little as the pay cheque became bigger.

How the local jeans changed to new branded wardrobe but there are less occasions to wear these clothes.

How a single plate of samosas changed to a full pizza but there is less hunger for food and more for something to do.

How the bike always in reserve changed to a car with a full tank- always on and ready to go. Only there are no more places that we want to go.

How the ta by the road side changed to Cafe Coffee Day/ Barrista... but the thirst is never satisfied and the shops are always so far away.

How the limited prepaid card in the mobile changed to post paid limitless package but we have less people that we really want to call up and talk to.

How a general bus ride changed to third class train tickets to First class AC to flights... but there are less vacations for enjoyment and more of those business trips that we do not want to make.

Further, this friend goes on to say...

I want to go back to the time when "getting high " meant "on a swing"
... when " drinking" meant Coke or even Fanta
... when dad was the only hero
... when "love" was a heart felt hug from mom
... when "dad's shoulder" was the highest place on earth
... when "worst enemy" was your sibling who fought with you
... when the things that "hurt" were skinned knees
... when the only things "broken" were your toys
... when "goodbyes" meant "See you tomorrow"

Anyone out there who feels like this?
Anyone out there who wants to change the way they are living but find their "life" pulling them deeper and deeper into the quagmire we have begun to call "life- style"?
Anyone who wants to make a difference?
Anyone who wants to reconnect? with life and love and sibling rivalry and the rest?

Please...
Come forward...
Let us start a movement...
We can... can we not?
