Why don't we all take a complete leave?

Thoughts, pressures, tension, stress and every mood altering factor is in leave today in accordance with the Bharath Bandh. Or is it because of the traffic less roads, the cool breeze and the reduced noise level in the city?

After a long time I realised my earphones produce wonderful sound, the music player in my phone is working so properly and the quality of music I have is very good as I could hear every small note of music distinctly which did wonders to my brain. Did we just lose every comfort in the name of luxury?

Though many sectors got affected due to this Bandh, it was beneficial to people as it was the dream day for all hardworking employees. Wasn't this what we had always craved for? A peaceful day, free roads, sound of wind, no rush, no run, no pressure, no million hour wait in the signals, no horn sounds, uncrowded buses etc. Will we able to get it on a regular day?

Movies, books and media in the recent years talk a lot about giving up the boring works and going for doing what we like, but they are more focused on a world tour. When this recent trend is growing strong do we actually need a Bandh to live our dream life? Instead why don't we all cooperate on a day and take a mass leave, not against any government, not to express our thoughts, but just to live a stress free life just for one day?

Perhaps we should take the extra step of giving a leave for nonrenewable energy. No fuel, no internet, no electricity, wouldn't that be a day we would love to have, a day without any external disturbance?

Taking the analogy of our body, every organ of our body needs some rest. We give a complete rest when we sleep except for the involuntary actions. Same thing applies to the city life. We can give a complete leave to every work and the involuntary actions here would be done by the nature. We have become too busy that we don't realise that trees, winds etc are regularly taking care of our involuntary actions.

Machines and humans alone can not run a system. We always need the help of nature to complete the gaps in the system.

May be then peace and unpolluted life would not be a luxury which only the elite individual house holders can enjoy. There would be an equality among people.

Let's all think about the possibility of this complete leave.
