Greedy Green

Every time I visit a mobile shop these days I feel uncomfortable - a pain of abundance. A big list of specifications to allure intelligent customers. I stand out very foolish as being a weak customer I barely understand two basic features. A bundle of other features of my handset remain unused. In offline casual interaction have realized many a colorful feature full handset owners have similar shame full experience.

A recent visit to a cellular shop had left me ponder on this once more. Do we need so much of what is on the rack - many be? While thoughts were still on, it was all by chance had to fly to Singapore on a business trip. Abundance of green was killing. Jet lag eyes which missed a complete night's sleep stretched to eat more of it. It was green with filler of floral pastel shades. Hungry mind hummed 'Aya Dil Mange More!' I didn't know mind was so hungry for green. As the taxi speed-ed on the picture perfect city outline I wondered is this also abundance? Even if it is , so be it - selfish urge consoled.


Value of abundance is a great love story. The more you get the more you want. And like most love stories it drives you crazy and others think you are wrong. Like wise I took the liberty to think how crazy some friend are - who are hooked to cellular gazettes and buy them just like top up plans. This Singapore visit had a sudden impact. I got introduced to the 'hungry me' who wanted more and more of nature in it's virgin form. It was priceless yet I craved for more. Realised every mind has a form of appetite. We all have a hidden drive to love, just that we need to hit the right passion for the love for abundance to be exhibited. That way my crazy friends are lucky, cellular companies' business would ensure their love story continues. I need to wait for a major global transformation.

Back home had to control my greed for green. Sunday morning post breakfast for a change left the newspaper and walked down the backyard of the apartment to checkout the small and not so looked after garden. It was scattered green with a few glowing flowers. Closed my eyes to retrofit with more of green form the clip art gallery fresh in mind ...
