Today's question: What would you do if you had everything? If you had enough money, food shelter, clothing --- would you still work? Furthermore, if no one expected you to work, if you had all the prestige,fame and love you desired --- would you work? Or, a better phrased question, what would you do with your time?
I'd forgotten how bewildering Mumbai could be. I'm in the middle of an ocean of people who work hard all through the week, scrape or sleep through a Sunday, and then work all through the next week. Week after week. I was somewhat like these people, once upon a time. And now I look at them puzzled, wondering what drives them. And I wonder, if I provided them an environment where all those factors motivating them to work everyday were rendered meaningless, if they were established in such an environment, what is it that they'd want to do with their (always free) time?
