Push, Shove, Elbow--Beg, Borrow, Steal

Anybody trying to get an entry in the elevator at CBD Belapur's 10th Tower between 10-10.15 a.m. knows it's a herculean task. In fact, the common joke doing rounds among people at CBD complex is that the elevator is more crowded than the trains arriving around that time. If you stood there you'd notice that people push and shove to be able to enter the elevator...sometimes, it's so bad that persons are not allowed to alight. The same thing happens in the 9.43 PL and 7.11 CST. This attitude of one-upmanship is further carried into our workplaces and sometimes even into relationship (When was the last time you were truly happy for a friend who did better than you?) Worse still, we're pushing this line of thought into the newer generations (Oh...xyz's kid got 98 percentile, why couldn't you?) So, the kids learn to push, shove, and elbow their way into school buses, exam halls, placement camps, offices, relationships et al...and somewhere along this trudge to the ultimate destination (whatever that is, nobody knows) they forget to enjoy the journey called life...
