I am hungry. Every moment, every single moment I breathe. Every single moment I exist. I am hungry. Hungry for that costly branded gizmo, I long for possessing in order to be happy. Hungry for that lifestyle I want, I need. Hungry for that paparazzi following me all the way to the entrance of that grand hotel staging some ‘talk of the town’, high profile, elite gathering of the who’s who the world knows. Oh I am hungry. Hungry to get all those damsels in distress types dying to meet me, to be with me. I am hungry. Hungry to get noticed. Hungry for saying, precisely, I live rather than I exist. Damn, I am hungry. For all those materialistic, mundane things of life! For all those things everyone wants, everyone is hungry about. People claim they ‘live’. I claim I exist. Simply ‘exist’. Even if I do attain the so-called ‘good’ things, I’ll still ‘exist’. Just another brick in the wall after all! But still…I am hungry.
We all have a greed, which we all have agreed – Eddie Vedder.
How true is this! Indeed.
I have always wanted to know how those wise men live. Yes, they actually live. How? All that, as a layman, I know is that they’re wise. People say, the wise men know how to live. What is that one thing which makes them ‘live’? Some secret they got from some Pandora’s box they found in some hills? They’re humans after all. They’ll also have some greed. Sometime atleast? Where is the difference then? Well, I am ‘too busy’ with my worldly chores to know all that. Right. A perfect, typical common man – that’s what I am. Damn me! Come what may, I’ll be always trivial; I’ll be always ‘Common’. I’ll always exist. I’ll always be ‘hungry’ for the mundane ‘necessities’ of life.
Society, your crazy breed, will you be lonely… without me??

Agree to the core! regarding the wise men, you never know,they might be thinking the same for you! sometimes you are pretty satisfied when you are hungry, it is just that, you should be hungry for your success, and peacefully satisfied that you have this hunger!
one day we all will be successful.. and then we twist we twist we twist! ;-P
Well I cant see how u can be pretty satisfied when u r hungry…The definition of Hunger I guess will be different from person to person… Regarding the wise men may be they r hungry to become wiser…May be tht's wht they crave for and may be tht is wht is keeping them going on and on in pursuit of their whatever….But one thing is pretty sure that deep down everybody is hungry for something or the other…Everybody is naked beneath the clothes….Dev….
