TIME-The Eternal Factor

TIME is seamlessly precious. It is said--- TIME once lost cannot be retrieved. How can TIME ever be lost? TIME has ever existed and will always be. It is also said that if, not used, in the right manner it is lost. I have my own thoughts on it.
TIME is immortal. Everything ends except the nano, micro, milliseconds in this universe. Each second gives birth to another timeless more seconds. It is so evolving. The only thing that ends are the things that are TIME bound—NOT TIME in itself.
Indeed, TIME is very precious. None can capture it or bind it in one’s hand. It flies away like a bird, it’s like the air. We are so much habituated in waiting for the right TIME to come, that in this wait we miss seeing that TIME always exists and also has practiced to make space for us to be utilized, even if it has to be in the simplest ways and means.
We all are so caught up with our lives, that we do not have TIME or do not want to have TIME to enjoy even a second in its true sense.
Remind yourself that TIME is eternal and is in abundance and will always be. Live the TIME, at least once.. For whatever you feel that makes you happy, that brings a smile on your face, which gives you that blissful feeling, a feeling that touches one’s heart and soul and that elevates the mind.
Even if it is just to watch the sun, or to see the clouds moving and making its own patterns OR to see the clear sky. Just to feel the kiss of the breeze OR the feel of the wind touch your face. To admire the beauty of the moon and the glittery stars. To watch faces in the crowd and let your eyes take your sight to its maximum reach.


For a moment to be with nature either to look for the birds chirping away to glory in the hidden branches. To hear the water flow, to watch the rain that blinds the clear view from the window pane. To hear the rustle of the leaves. It could be even the simplest beauty of the flowers & buds swaying to the music of the lovely breeze.


Even if it takes to listen to your favorite music, to hum a tune, to write whatever you feel like OR to be lost in his/her own thoughts. To notice the laughter of the kids in the vicinity. To hear a mother singing a lullaby to her baby OR to hear your child chatter away on her/his daily activities.


Let yourself free from your pre-occupied thoughts and just be yourself for that instance. See the difference that it makes for you and enjoy that moment. All it takes is just one moment to be what you actually are and to do what you always wanted to do all your life.


TIME is then always there at your disposal. Will always be with you. That would be TIME in its true meaning for NOW and FOREVER.

A Writeup-From one woman to another

Yet another year and we hit 8th MARCH-INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY.   This day is observed to celebrate the women achievers in various fields across the globe devoid of economic, cultural background, religion, race, or nationality. Initially, it kicked off in 1909 in US from a labour movement in North America wherein the women workers protested against the working conditions. From then on, it emerged from being from just fighting for working conditions to considering and working for women rights across the globe for various reasons. This day is also known as United Nations day for women rights and International peace. Women and peace on the same day? I have this kind of reaction as I’ve usually heard that women are non peace makers. Wars are fought because of a Woman. Families are fallen apart because of the Woman. The Epic Ramayana and the Mahabharata happened because of a Woman. Let’s have a look at these events known in Hindu Mythology. Had Sita-in Ramayana not bee...

I am You AND You are Me!

Have you ever thought about comparison? Something that is so easy to do but is highly complex in its form? As a Child and a growing adult, I detested being compared with anyone. I did not understand the reason.  I kept thinking, how can one be compared with another? It is often executed as if it does not matter and is done as a matter of fact! I never understood why it is even done... One thing I knew was how it made me feel. What implications it can have. Comparison is a mighty Tool. It often breaks one but at times builds the Craziest ones. The ones it builds end up repeating the "Compare cycle game" Comparison is not saying, you are not doing or studying or performing like the other person but it is also trying and striving to be like a "PARTICULAR PERSON"  Why do you want to be someone else? Be a Photocopy? Why not be YOU? I was often asked, "Who is your Idol? Whom do You follow?" My all-time answer would be "NONE". I say that because there i...

The inner conflict

TO BE OR NOT TO BE- is phrased by Shakespeare in one of his plays-Hamlet. The everyday line for day to day life series is TO DO OR NOT TO DO.   The duality of the mind, the flip-flops of thoughts, the space between the doing and the undoing seems to have captured the souls of every individual. We are usually caught up in-between actions, words, gestures either with oneself or another. Human beings are social animals but are still animals in our own ways.   We love to please all and want to be in good books of all expect one IMPORTANT PERSON- Own self. This is the first step of conflict. A conflict with oneself. The conflict of the outward self with the inward self.   It is a pull and push mechanism. The inner self wants to push the outward self in loving oneself and the outward self is pulling away from listening to it. We resent ourselves from listening to our inner self. We fail to act its way. The reason could be, because we know it does not manipulate or ...
