Travel- for its love or for an escape

Captions of ThumsUp (Aaj kuch toofani karte hai) and Mountain Dew (Dar ke aage jeet hai) at first seem to be linked to adventure sports only but when you give a careful consideration it really make you think Whats your beat ? All of us are living a monotonous life or it just seems to be like that. What is the reason that everybody wants to break free and go on a trip. It has become very common to hear stories of people going on a backpacking trip or suddenly they have just left their jobs and started doing something completely different. All this makes me wonder, have we really become slaves of ourselves or have we become too scared to try something new. Everybody wants to live on their own but are they really living for themselves? When I browse the internet I see all the travel blogs with maximum followers and views. Is it really the love of travel that is making people travel or a break from the mundane routine or is it that we all have become really intellectual and have realized that the true form of education is travel. Mostly travel holidays work as an escape for few days but the real question which needs to be answered is why do we chose to do something for 30-40 years which we do not love? The clothes which we wear may be of the most expensive and latest trends but the psych is still age old. Parents still giving donations and spending lakhs and lakhs of rupees for their kids education and admission. Kids still competing for the age old courses and the cut off seems to be rising every year. In this era of technology where one can connect with a person sitting half way around the world in seconds and do any transaction, why do we term only 4-5 courses as professional courses. Is it our weak education system which does not empower the kids with their own faculty of thinking and choosing the right profession for them. 

The fear of changing profession is attributed to the expensive courses also as one tend to spend a lot for obtaining a degree in this nation. The social stigma of leaving some professional course/work (baap ka paisa barbaad kar diya) and the peer pressure also makes one bow down to the chains of slavery. We are living in 2015 and it is the age of start ups but we only hear the success stories and hearing so many of them now gives hope to our future. I only wish that a day may come when everyone gets to work and earn by what they love.
