Cruise Control

"Cruise Control " that's what i define my life is on these days , I have seen most of us are in that mode . Let me justify , first of all when i say most of us i mean Indians in US and i bet its the same situation with most of the Indian immigrants all across the globe of course with subtle differences. And there is nothing stopping from applying my hypothesis to people settled in India ,the only difference is that they will not be cognizant of driving a car on a long drive specially on cruise control.
Cruise control is best enjoyed when we take a vacation and go on a long drive, and cruise control is good as far as the driving goes,now for the analogy in CC mode the road is less crowded and you are aware of the final destination and are not bothered by the immediate stops or unplanned breaks. Same is the situation with the lives of some , they know where they are headed so there i go with knowing the final destination part .Now as far as the stops in the journey go we usually take these in our long drives and the best part is that as soon as there is a requirement to stop we take the first available exit and are off the highway so why not take life as a journey and set it on cruise control , the beauty of cruise control is that you move away from mundane jobs in life and concentrate in more important jobs ( you all must be in agreement that this just a analogy and we really don't set our cars in cruise control to do more important things like check our email or watch a movie.

Just as we set our control speed in the car and relax the foot, take it away from the gas pedal and enjoy the scenery ,be less stressed ,why cannot we do the same with our lives and move away from the mundane activities , i am not saying not do them but do them with less and less effort and find some way of doing them as we do with driving on cruise control.
