We shifted to Indirapuram, Ghaziabad in
2012 for a better life and better opportunities, as normal people have a
thinking of metropolitan cities having all the luxuries and the amenities which
they do not have in their own non-metropolitan cities or to say Tier-2, tier-3
towns. We being the part of the society and have a similar thinking and set of
mind, thought to relocate to a better place where opportunities are abundant,
life is better and all those notions.
At first, when we shifted here, we started
liking the place as it has got all the luxuries, amenities which our old place
of living didn’t had and likely to not have in many coming years. It was
initially good, no Great!, As we had finally got rid of the troubles looming
over our heads for a long time and big question mark? Over our heads about the
future which had taken a stronghold on our lives after the closure of our work
back then in the old days. Everything was going smooth, I had started something
new which I was planning from my graduation time on doing a master’s degree
after the graduation gets over.

Being in a metropolitan city, it feels like
speed of time differs here than that of other cities. It feels like time is
always in a hurry here, two years has gone by and it feels like it was just
yesterday when we shifted here. Back in the old city, days felt like months and
months felt like years altogether and so on. It was so calm and relaxed back
then it felt like time is in slow motion itself, we had all the time in the
world for the things which generally people avoid to do due to its hefty time
consuming process but still we did and loved to do them. Back then, the
thinking was, why are we doing these things coz we have nothing better to do or
we had all the time to do these things and still have time other regulars
also! But here, the thing which is the
most deficient of all is, time! How, I never get to understand it, it just so
weird about it.
Anyway, here we never do or think of doing
those things we did back then in the old city coz there is no time, day comes
and goes by in a jiffy, that by the time we get to know what is happening, the
hands in the clock has turned greatly further forward and the day gets over.
That is how all the time has gone past by and we never noticed of it coz life
has made us so busy that we don’t have time for ourselves. It’s not that we
didn’t had work to do in the old city, we had greater work than that of
current’s but it was different back then.
Being busy never meant that we didn't had time for the family,
friendship, life and all. But here, it’s all so freakin’ fast, that even having time
available at hand, we are still busy or to say in a sense of busy-ness. Doing
nothing still makes us busy!!!!!!

Was it worth to have that change we had in
our lives?, only time will tell. Until then life has to go on.
