We love to complain
For no reason main
Little effort do we make
To improve, amend or train
We do not have time
Is the usual
refrain
In a fast moving world
There is little
time to blame
Time wasted in pursuits vain
Shirking hard work
is the usual game
Take pride in work why have shame
Sweat relentless for sweet gains
PS- Image kind courtesy Google
In these few lines, you have said it all. True. We complain, blame and sit silent. We dont take efforts to correct and resolute.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Insignia for those words:)
Deletehello Rahul...thanks for dropping on my page :) and beat this..i read this on Mnday morning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sulagna for reading this:)
Deleteabsolutely the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
ReplyDeleteRachna , we must write truth sometimes:)Thanks a lot!
DeleteWhat a poem to read on a Monday Morning! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see you back, after celebrating football:)
Delete'Shirking hard work is the usual game'. Generation Y smugly seem to pull out the line of 'smart work' and not hard work! Working styles have changed and how! Wonderful words, and loved the way you have rhymed Rahulji!
ReplyDeleteWell work may have become smart but doing honest work is different:) Thank you Jenny to be there to read:)
DeleteThats nice rhyming and very thoughtful. Yes, now hard work is considered shame, have sensed it in many instances.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Kusum to agree:)
DeleteComing here after a long time (was drowned in work). Today, Hard work is looked upon like something that an illiterate does... Others do smart work (which often involves taking credit for all the hard work done by others)
ReplyDeleteVery nice to see you back after a while Nisha:)You said it!
DeleteWe do not have time
ReplyDeleteIs the usual refrain...
totally agree with u there..
Loved the worse.. short but conveyed a lot.
Thanks a lot, Jyoti for liking:) We need to find time for everything:)
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteActually in offices of today....Long hours of work is being associated with hard work which is not the case....The fact is by not giving 100% to the work at hand its stretched over unnecessarily in many cases....Hard but balanced work is the need of the hour
Jaishree you hit the nail on the head! Working long hours to impress and doing the actual work to maintain balance in life are two different things!
DeleteVery true! Hard work is the base for everything that sits.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeevan! Hard work is what is needed:)
Deletebeautiful..so well written!

DeleteHi Rahul! Thanks for your very kind comment. This poem really echoes what goes on in the workplace these days, especially with my generation. No one seems to enjoy or take pride their jobs anymore and they are always grumbling about it, whereas the previous generations toiled and slogged away for a living without a single complaint. I wish that there was more gratitude, we are so fortunate just to be part of a working environment while there is so much unemployment around. Good topic!
ReplyDeleteSam, it looks that you resonate my thoughts:) I feel just the same when it comes to work and gratitude for having the job!Thanks a lot!
DeleteI agree with you! Beautiful words!

DeleteYou couldnt have said it better! I think everyone of us should keep a copy of these lovely words on their tables :-) Seriously, indifference and not taking responsibility for one's action is becoming a habit now a days.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Padmaja for those very kind words!!I wish things would change:)
ReplyDeleteThere is indeed very little time to blame, and yet how often do we point fingers at others.
ReplyDeleteA short and profound piece, sir. :) I've missed your writings.
Thanks a lot Aayushi for your kind comments! I too missed your writing:)
DeleteSo true - sadly. We don't realize how good we have it.
ReplyDeleteAgree Lady Fi! Thanks a lot!
DeleteWe look for the easy way out, jugaad, short-cuts -- you name it, we look for it. Who wants sweat and toil?
ReplyDeleteThis attitude of taking short cuts has made us a nation with 'chalta hai' attitude which is totally not befitting a nation aspiring to rise as a super power, Zephyr!
DeleteSimply put but message accurately delivered :D
ReplyDeleteA big thanks Divya for that kind remark:)
DeleteVery true.
ReplyDeleteEl tiempo vuela, disfrutemos de cada instante.
