Oh Human Beings!!!

Huuh! It's true! Human beings can never be satisfied. It's monsoon. It has been raining constantly for the last six days. The rhythm is not constant though! Sometimes its drizzle, sometimes its raining cats & dogs, sometimes its just not following any pattern. Kolkata got drenched & now she's underwater! Kolkata has become venice now! Haha!!! It seems the banks will provide boat loans instead of car loans! This is the present condition...
Few days back it was very very hot. With scorching sun & heavy humid evenings & nights, people got drenchd. but in sweat, not rain! I remember howmuch everyone craved for rain! Everyone waited for rain! But look at the condition now! When rain is here, it has come, drenhed & drowned us, people are waiting for it to go & are ready to welcome the scorching sun once again!
Some more days back, it was winter. Winter in Kolkata is unmentionable! Can dino ka mehman hai! We wait for winter to do justice to our woollens, Ma takes out old & discarded synthetic saris to make balaposh. Winter means whole lotta fun for us! Winter means mowa, notun gur, pithe puli! Winter means Christmas, fest, cakes! At the onset of winter, we say "uff sheet to porloi na ebar! Kolkatar sheet to!" Global warming! But when it starts getting cold we behave in a way as if we are in the north or south poles! Then, we wait for summers! Then atleast we don't have to shiver like this! Look forward to summer....The cycle moves on!!! Indeed, earth is round!
Yes, we are never satisfied with our present situation. We get happy when we get what we want but get bored soon! We want change. Either we are no satisfied at all or we get satisfied too easily! This is what makes human beings or homo sapiens stand apart from the rest of the species! They think, they want change & they bring changes without which our lives can never move on!
