I clicked this picture very casually...experimenting with my capabilites with the camera...
But when I saw it later...I thought...
Is this our future?
Is this where we are heading to? A materialistic world where we will have all artificial splendours...but not the basic ingredients to live.
It's like you are sitting on a golden chair for breakfast. You have a diamond plate and silver spoons before you...but not a single bread to eat.
Hope, this makes you think!!!

if you try really hard, you might get what you want.
the difference is to find what you NEED.
I was trying to highlight this aspect of modern world only...We are trying too hard to get what we want, never bothering about what's happening to our surroundings......Today's society is being driven by "want"...want for a better house...want for a better car...want for better food...want for everything that's available...But do we really think about what we actually need? And how much?
It's like buying six dozens of bananas when I can actually consume one dozen only. The remaining five is wasted. So, I have virtually wasted my effort to earn the money which I spent to buy those bananas...In my effort to earn more (so that I can buy 6 dozens instead of one), I have taken added stress, which in turn killed my happiness and perhaps the happiness of those souls too who are emotionally attached to me. In this effort to earn more, I have taken unfair means, which in turn has ended the happiness of many lives, directly or indirectly...it's like a cycle that goes on and on...
It's like the food pyramid...where the base level produces and the upper levels consume. Nature has made the base level strong enough to supply all the upper levels. But if we keep on consuming more than what we actually need, and keep on fighting with our own level for doing so, this pyramid will gradually shrink, and it'll continue to shrink until it ceases to exist.
If you think deeply, you might realise that we never have to try hard for all the things we need to live...We only need to try hard to get those things that we actually don't need but we want to have.
This is my thought and my philosophy which is very much open to criticism.
