The clock is ticking!!

Ever wondered what the most precious commodity in this world is?! Something which all the money and wealth in the world, you cannot buy; its time.

We all fret over it; and we are cribbing almost perpetually that’ I don’t have enough time’!! Yet, we don’t think twice about wasting this precious resource. In the daily humdrum of our busy lives, we seem to lose track of time, every time.
Mornings are rush hour ‘time’, to get to work ‘on time’, to catch that 9.15 churchgate local ‘ on time’; to finish that backlog at work ‘ on time’, to meet up with friends for an after-work drink ‘ on time’…..the list is endless.

We don’t really pause for a minute to mull over the importance of time, which we have in very limited quantity. Ever caught your self thinking, ‘ wish I had done that dance course while I still had time!’… ‘ if only I had chosen to it while I still had time!’.

Years , as we live them out, give us knowledge and experience; Time , is our life-long teacher..with us all through our lives…through the ups and downs in life..through the shine and dark of life..teaching us lessons and making us wiser, for better and for worse.

Man has been in quest of ‘New’ , since time immemorial; to discover a ‘ new’ land’, to discover a ‘new’ civilization, to find out something ‘ new’ about his own species. This quest has seen ‘ him’ evolve over a period of ‘ time’; Time, which has stood witness to the rise and fall of many dynasties, to the triumph and miseries of mankind, to the jubilation and depression of this race, which, is the most intelligent of all the known species, created by the almighty.

Man has been blessed with mental faculties, which has got us to where we stand today. But yet, for all the scientific and technological advancement that we have achieved thus far, the essence of life still remains the same.

We have to try and use this time , given to us by the almighty, in the best possible way. Don’t miss a chance to take a break from the rigmarole of life , to express your gratitude for the simple joys in life. Pause for a while and indulge your mind in some introspection. to understand yourself, to set your priorities, to list down your goals…and most importantly, to remind yourself , that you are one of those 6 billion odd beneficiary of this precious gift of ‘ time’; how we utilize this rare gift, is upto each one of us.

And hurry up, because, the clock is ticking and TIME indeed is running out!
