Does anyone win the rat race?
I feel like every generation, every age group has a rat race of their own. Right from the time a child opens his eyes to see the first rays of the sun, he's taught to speak, to walk, to express. How often have you heard mothers say "Oh my child spoke within his first 2 years", "My Chintu? He can pronounce his father's name without a lisp". "My baby's got the strongest legs, he never even needed a walker" I grow up, the rat race for the best pre-school starts, I get into middle school, my peer group pressures me to be the most socially active, my parents pressure me to get to the top of the class. I grow up even some more, and here I am. Half a year away from adulthood, with 10 colleges in front of me, waiting to be studied for, waiting to be filled. I'm sure there are so many more rat races I've yet to run, without even signing up for. But my question is, does this rat race ever end? And, why is it even a race? Who wins this race? The
