How it got changed?

When exam gets postponed, we try to appreciate smaller things, in this case I have appreciated changes in the smaller things that has undergone during the course of time. Some changes are due to our nature in finding the expiry date on every act of ours. These are the things like :

Touching feet of elders as a mark of respect: 

To me this thing has changed half because of our lazy nature and half because of our mentality of finding the expiration date. Let me explain how.

1st the touching of feet of elders was like following a  Spartan law, the famous “dandwat pranam” which has lost its existence and now only is used towards God or 1st degree relative in case of desperation.

I can understand that it was hard for lazy human race to keep up that exercise thing. The it got changed to  touching of feet which our hands & asking for blessing.

Then we got confused, we asked ourselves that we have to discriminate this thing between the relatives who live with us in the same village to those who live in other village.

Then after not so lot of thinking it got changed to customary touching every time for a relative living out and only once a life customary touching followed by touching only knees.

Then we realized that, wait a minute, how long does a relative’s well wish survives . Then we got to the rule that touching feet only in festivals and rest of the time touching the air around the feet without even bending our body.

Eating:

We started off as a hunter- gatherer. Then some lazy ass nomad said to another that “dude chill, lets wait here, I bet u something will come to us”. They waited long enough and witnessed the process of agriculture.

Then agriculture lasted for long till time came when Nomads married working women. They didn’t had time to cook, so they started buying food from other nomads.

Then Nomadic era recession came and the nomads who got kicked out from the “stone gang” started working as delivery boys for more respectful person of the tribe, and that’s how home delivery evolved.

Then we realized that why order different things, it takes time from our schedule of nothing. Then we started putting every ingredient in one thing and fried them and that’s how Samosa, kacori and other junk food evolved.

Then modeling started and Victoria Beckham happened and after that food comes in the form of pills and supplements.

Marriage: 

It started as men forcefully taking out the women they wanted with force.

Then “khaap panchayat” happened and we got a concept of marriage.

Then after many years of mental harassment, men realized that marriage is too big a risk and to get the upper hand in marriage men started trends like marrying under water, up in the air, up in the mountain and all the ways possible that would scare her off ad every thing will go smooth afterwards.

Relationship:

 In earlier days boys or girls didn’t got the time for having a girlfriend or boyfriend because before they could even realize any sensation from the hormones, they were already married!

Then courtesy “Brahmo samaj, people got the time for GF or BF.

Then having relationship was a slow, steady and meaningful which eventually turned to 2 days chat in Facebook without even knowing that person you are talking is really a girl or boy and it got ended either by jumping into next or by eating rat poison for dinner.

Exercise: Earlier men didn’t needed as they worked enough for their living. Then they started running in the morning. Then it upgraded it to going near a park so that they can also “watch” while they run.

Then they started paying money to run under roof and AC.

And then Arnold Schwarzenegger happened and now we have ½ of youth going seriously to gym and ½ only paying gym fees for a membership card .
