The Time's NOW...

I've been mulling writing for a long time but I always come up with an excuse of being too busy and not having the TIME....

In one such moment (when i was pretending to be not having the time) I came across a poem by a young 13 year old named Todd.....(Read it online). Time suddenly seemed to make a lot of sense....

Here's the poem..

It flies by us, when we're having fun.
It makes the moon rise, and lowers the radiant sun.
It wrinkles a young face, with old age.
It breaks a teenager's bond's, from the motherly cage.
It beats a mountain, until it falls.
It births a child, whenever life calls.
It changes the verses, while you're reading this rhyme.
How this all happens, you will know, with time.

Thanks Todd...(whoever you are!!!) The thing is.... Time never seizes to amaze. One look at the clock and you realize how fast it slips by. I sat looking at the clock for a minute and suddenly realized that I had lost a minute of my life.....!! "O my god.. Time's slipping me by...".

But then you do realize its not about seizing the moment but about living them.. living them the way you want to live. A moth lives for a night but it lives to the fullest....trying to reach out to the love of its life...the light! The butterfly counts not months but moments....and still has enough time to live for what it loves..the nectar! The birds fly in free sky to wherever they wish, the fish swim through waters and leap out in glee..... all of them do what they really love to do!

Why do we as humans always try to fight time? Why do we always end up thinking that we don't have enough of it...? Why do we tend to hold it so precious that we forget to live in it....? .And yet we keep loosing it!!

The Hungarian Horntail did say..."It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up."

Whats the money you've earned worth if you don't have the time to spend it with the people you love? The money will buy u a house, but the time will buy you happiness.. Its what you choose to do that matters!

A friend was unwell of late and was in the hospital (get well soon!) and I could not make time to go visit.. Yeah, now you know why I got into this tizzy of thinking about time ! Here's what I am promising myself.... I'm gonna live by the moment and not my the calendar. I'm gonna rule my time and not let it rule me....


Living the moment...the TIME's just about right to stop this blabber ant hit the sack ;)! Till the next time...Now's not forever!

Here we go again.....

Its tough to understand why we do what we do. Why is it that something that you can't have seems all the more appealing while something that you don't want comes your way and try as you might...it just wouldn't go away!! Why do somethings never get right...try as you might!And the biggest question of them all.... Why do I seem to put on weight whenever I put in efforts to lose it!!??

Life's taken me a full circle..it seems yesterday once more! Or is it? I've lost a lot more hair for one....They say that you get wiser as your hair turns gray......I think God's decided that I can't get wise...Coz by the time its time for my hair to go gray, I don't think I'll have any left. Oh well, this is all rambling....stuff you write when you don't have anything else to do....

Which reminds me...this is exactly what the jurnos today seem to be doin! God do I hate to see the news when they try and put it across stating that "Your channel was the first to break the news....!"Uhh... excuse me, my channel?? When did I buy you guys....? How can news be complete without cricket? So if Dhoni had a fight with Sehwag, it'll be flashed as the "Breaking News"! Everything is a "Breaking News!!" ... and I won't even get to the Hindi news channels! Ahh... and how can we forget the slick animations and the music that'll easily make it to top the charts in any thriller....I miss the good old days... when news was news and it was told the way it is supposed to be told. Today's media...especially TV has become highly irresponsible. For a few dollar's more they're willing to put the life of millions at stake....for sensationalizing the news, they're willing to stoop to any levels! God save the country where the media's doing what the police needs to do....! Often the stories are unsupported am unauthenticated but shown anyway.

Media Glare these days can Dwarf any simple looking News to become a Sensational Breaking News... & the news just fizzles out the moment the juicy part of the story gets exhausted... Remember the Goa murder case of the teenage foreign girl or the Aarushi murder case..... Where are they heading for...? The Sensational media coverage after bombarding our homes has suddenly found it fit to be dumped into oblivion....Where is the responsible journalism? The recent coverage of the DeraSachkhand and sikh violence was appalling. All the news channels were scrambling to show the "live" visuals of the tension....If a commoner like me can realize that it might enrage even more people, why can't the wise old men in the industry or the politicians see this? The Australia attacks...The responsible media would try and bring calm to the already simmering situation by trying to bridge the divide... but here we have our media up in arms against Australia as though the entire country is racist and the indian students in Australia should fight back....Retaliate is what they did...didn't they? Its scary to even think of the repercussions...

With great powers come great responsibility...The media has the great power of reaching to all.....I hope the media realizes this and wakes up to its responsibilities!!
