A Bevy of Beggers

In the recent past I happen to visit a place in whose vicinity I saw a building with people pouring out of it. When made inquiries revealed the fact that a job fair is about to commence at that place. It was the first time I realised that a country could possess so much 'unemployees'. Of course I have seen many 'Non-Employees' who simply cease to work for the very fact that they are lazy, but this sight of so many un-employees struck me very badly. At the dawn of the day I returned back to my place and started to paddle up the imaginative horse within me( Yeah you could say "You Old Horse!"). It gave me some revealing thoughts that made me to write this journal.

This journal is dedicated to all those beggers like me who stand in front of every software company (to the worse - in front of all call centres) on their knees and plead for a job that demands the much worthy characteristics of copy and paste (or to the worse to say 'Hello .... i'm ... i would like to brief you on the new investment plans launched by .....' )

Ever since the conception of a digital clock man started to fancy machines and electronics more to grow big and lazy. The age of machines has made man to beleive in the philosophy of hedonism. Starting from the early morning- a brush will brush his teeth, water would come pouring on him, a machine designed to wipe his ass, a toaster to make him a toast of bread, a car to drive him to his office, a computer to work for him, again coming back to home and an i-pod trying to make him sleep. Sounds familiar right? Sorry though, but my name has been replaced with a name 'him'. All the more greiving fact is that these beggar after a week long work drink off during the week ends claiming it to be de-stressing activity.

With the advent of foreign investments I find this field to be one of the prime target of de-stabilizing any nation. For instance if you want to bring down Autralia the first step is to lend your hands towards them, caress their butts with loads of investments, start gathering a momentum among people that the field in which you happen to establish is about to boom to tremendous heights, start an economic revolution in that country,induce everybody to spend more and accumulate it to their credit,one day suddenly pull out all your investments... Tadah!!! There goes Australia.

If this situation prolongs then I'm able to visualize a scene that goes like this...

"A vast stretch of barren land with absolute emptiness. Sun at right angles and a man, sitting alone in the most exquisite executive chair, with one leg over a dead body of a man and the other over the ground, at one end of the world. His face symbolising extreme eagerness for power. At the other end of the world a bevy of beggars waiting eagerly to have their one day meal. A sign from the man on the chair realases the begging community from the clutches of the security men and starts to fleet towards the man on the chair. The man on the chair and his associates enjoy the sport of watching the poor fellows tumble as they forcefully defeat others to get their share of meal. The din causes a sense of happiness that is elevated as the victims approach the man on the chair and start to eat their meal below his feat. The tumbled enfeebled men who fall as dead bodies in the race are staked up for the subsequent course of meal for the remaining beggars for the future."
