Workoholic generation

May it be proving oneself n his abilities or surviving competition or survival of the family, everyone everywhere has become a workoholic. I ask anyone a simple 'What's up?' and the standard answer I get is 'Nothing much ya, just busy with work.'.. These very same people an year or so back were enjoying life, travelling, socializing, blogging, exploring, adventurous, always in for any fun. Now, no one has a single minute to spare. All they do through the day is go to work, return from work with a laptop over flowing with 'home work' eat work through night go to work the following morning. Weekends? Try to meet the impossible deadlines.  May be its just my perspective which goes wrong somewhere or the entire generation has indeed become a bunch of boring workoholics sucked up in the world of deadlines.. Up till now, I haven't had 'work' and have been a 'happy-go-lucky' person for all 20 years of my life, now I'm suddenly scared of what's probably lying ahead. I mean I certainly am not one who'd get sucked up in work so easily.. But so were all the others. Time changes and so do people, they say.  There is so much (certainly other than work) that I want to do. Life is too short to waste behind work. I mean, yes, one obviously has to work to survive but not work to death. Again, this is all what I am saying before I face the "job world".. I hope I don't change.. or rather I hope I don't have to change.. I just can not imagine myself in a monotonous routine like that.. I'll just go crazy or wait, become a workoholic? Hope not!..

I certainly want to work for living but not live for working! 

Scared to crap!.. Scared of Work...

Chaitu...
