Are we going belly up as IT Professionals??
The answer for the question posted as a title of this article has to be "Yes" irrespective of whether we take the literal meaning of "Go Belly Up" ( which is the ballooning of our abdomen!!) or we take the phrasal meaning of "Go Belly Up" ( which is undergoing total financial failure!!). It is not a financial failure but a failure which can hardly be compensated with the help of finance. What failure are we talking about?? Or by earning lakhs of rupees per month, are we failing in any way?? By now, questions like these would have taken its incarnation in your beautiful mind. The answer for all such questions is "Yes". It is hard to accept but difficult to ignore either.
We miss to enjoy the most beautiful things in this even more beautiful world. We live a life of darkness and why I say so? We get up before sunrise and go to office and get locked in a tiny cubicle and switch on the computer and keep our eyes busy seeing that for hours!! We are too busy to take a break even which further restricts our exposure to the outside world. We return home after the sunset (sometimes in midnight!!) and sleep and the process continues like a chain reaction but the difference is this is even more dangerous than a chain reaction!! We are never exposed to any things (leave alone sunlight) other than the processor in front of us. Aren't we living in darkness??
We search for money which is not bad, but why do we search for it always?? We don't have to pay for enjoying some of the most beautiful moments. How many of us have gone for a walk early morning and enjoyed the sunrise?? Had diabetes not been there, we will not find many people walking!! How many of us allowed ourselves to mesmerize in music?? "Mozart's symphony was one of the secrets of my success. Every time I hear that beautiful piece of music, I get a new idea", Einstein said. Such is the power of music and we don't have to pay for hearing it. We don't have to pay for spending time with our family, and we will not be charged much for reading good books!!
But we work all day, chase money all day and we lose a wonderful day in the process although we would have gained lakhs on that particular day. I got a message two days back which summarizes everything:
"Life was much simpler when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits"

Yes...we all work for money and reputation...90% of the IT professions would have dreamed of becoming a artist,wartier,leader,teacher,pilot,dancer,singer in school days...but soon we give up them for IT profession and earn money faster and we kill beautiful mind in us.....Our beautiful minds are made to work like a machine........Really this a loss to our nation....
