In reply to richa. He he he :D .. I loved the quote and it is so true as well. I mean we have seen so many of them do it and occasionally we too. I guess the universality of the quote speaks for itself :)

In reply to Sweety Shinde. He he he he :D . Well, planning certainly is an important aspect. However very little happens as per the plan doesn't it? It is a great way to know where we are headed and that needs a plan. But the how can always evolve and change as per the outcomes and our priorities in life.

In reply to Lata. It is so unfortunate that it is true Lata. It is so unfortunate that money has become the most important aspect of life. I pay my due respect for money and I do concur that money makes life very much easier. But there are so many other things that are even more valuable. We have never supported not having money, but that as the only standard in life is one of the poorest to have and also the laziest one! And to know how BIG a role the society place is an even more painful aspect!

In reply to Vishal Grover. Thank you Vishal :). He he :D that's such a pathetic and a common answer that it almost makes me gasp out loud and shout at them - "Get a life". It goes on to show how strongly the society influences their thoughts and what their priorities in life are and undobtedly they are all placed in a wrong place. True Vishal, more than anything else in the world, we need to understand who we are and what we stand for. Granted that these answers take time and keep changing, it is beautiful to be introspecting cos we are atleast headed towards an answer instead of just going along with the flow.

In reply to jiggyasa. Thank you my friend. Welcome aboard to Inspire99 :). Mostly in the busy stature of our lives, some of these deeper questions take a backseat. Not that any of it is wrong, but knowing where we want to go really simplifies the journey we are headed for.

In reply to Najm Nisa. Thank you Najm. Great to see you :). I guess these thoughts are probably a bit universal and we all think about the big picture in life, where we are headed and so on. And they all make so much sense when they connect together. Maybe that is the beauty of life, finding ways to connect our experiences and passions to something productive and sensible :)

Most of philosophical questions you mentioned in the beginning of the post have often popped in my mind and I often found it hard to get answers for these questions. I like it that you have thrown more light on planning aspect in life..which most us fail to do. Very thoughtful post Vinay :)

Great article Vinay. I remember attending a workshop few months back and trainer asked the question about purpose of life to various attendees. I remember almost 80% of them said to ‘own a house’. Last week, few employees in my office were planning for a vacation. While someone asked him about which place they are planning to go & why – answer was ‘because it provides best natural surroundings for a photo shoot’. Though each person has his own way of leading the life, but yes, we should always remember what our true goal of life is? What I want to achieve in this life apart of fulfilling my personal/professional duties? If not done yet, this needs to be self-defined & practice upon regularly in daily life to lead to that ultimate goal.

Vinay, people are so scared of not having money, they advise you to take decisions with money at the center. As for planning parties? Well, sadly, most people tend to live by the notion of their status in others’ eyes instead of focusing on the purpose of their lives.
