    self-indulgent that it has this have become the norm, so much that for us we are unaware of when we are doing it. Recently my Uncle called me and asked me how I was doing, as we further ventured into our conversation, he asked me if I could ask my coach to let him rent the gym. Although he called me, he really did not want to know how I was he wanted me to do a favor for him. He only asked how I was doing because it was the “polite” thing to do.

    their lives these days – mostly bored, slightly mechanical in outlook, wanting to do more but failing to go noticed as more than a mere cog in the machine that’s life. The poem bases itself on the themes of escape, boredom, and restlessness – and in doing so it quite aptly portrays how dissatisfying out general attitude towards life is, and how it is quite obvious why we seem to crave for more meaning in our daily routines.
