Its around 20 days in 2010 ...and it seems half the year is already gone by..time is beating us in every moment. As the usual saying goes , time is flying and we need to run faster to keep flying with it...its only that we are struggling hard to manage ourselves. Like this very blog , last year I started and could only post 2-3 ...in a WHOLE YEAR...man!! Well going forward I have kind of made a resolution that 2010 , every month I should write one. Well there is enough crap happening around to write ...isn't it;
I started to write this as a strange thought came across my mind. We keep saying time is flying.., time is moving very fast etc etc.. but if you give it a deeper thought , its the same 24hours a day , 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year..not changed at all , so how come , it started flying now. It never flew when I was in college...I had all the time to do things still it seemed the days are not passing and time is not at all moving. The questions always struck my mind, when I will grow up and when I will have my own money to do things and have not have to ask around for it,- rather beg for it.
Ah well !! when i finally grew up and came a time when need not had to beg here and there for daily wage, time never seem to be in my side. Always , till now , struggling to find time, time for my self. I guess its a fair deal anyway , we have traded time with money...in college , no money , but had all the time to write , read , do theater, publish magazines, arrange fests, compere shows what not ...over and above all had the time to DREAM. Now all things are for sale and definitely dreams...have learned to customize , truncate and sometimes write off the dreams , just to trade in for some cash. So now , its all about running behind cash and time....but unfortunately can catch neither of them..
We are always buying time , for work , for family , for investments ( material and non material) but how much for oneself , how much for all the dreams. Cant buy lah!!( as people here will say) its gone and gone forever ..or is it ..cant we just close our eyes and give our selves few mins , may be while driving towards home ( don't close eyes and drive that might prove fatal, but can make your brain work away from your mundane hits and misses towards your inner soul), or when you are doing your morning necessities just catch the time for that dream.
Strangely now I feel , after spending so much time to write this , time doesn't fly , it never flies , its always there. Its we who are running , running hard to god knows where , oh ya !! to earn that extra buck which will buy all the goodies. We are running as we had never ran before ..it seems there is a mad dog behind us , yes a fully mad dog , madness about success , fame , money
etc etc etc....and thus we can never see the time.
When I grew up , I managed time better , now time manages me.. I am the slave of time. I remember during school days if I used to watch TV before exams , my father used to say " Son, you will have all the time to watch TV when you grow up , but if you do not do well in this exam you are no where in the world. Once you miss the train , you miss it for ever and all your life would be a red signal". So like a nice guy , I kept on running , sometime fast , sometime slow ...but now when I look back at my father's words , I still don't have the time to watch my sports games , I still don't have time to DREAM , I am still RUNNING.................
While I finish this and post it , it will be just 5 more days as we say goodbye to January ....WHOA!!!! No wonder this year would be exciting....come 2010 , lets run and this time lets see who beats time......
