Time flies by... waits for none!

Time... the most fundamental quantity... cannot be accelerated, nor can be decelerated by anyone. Whatever happens, time plows ahead! The same rate, the same measured steps... One of my crazy imaginations again... here it comes... Can anyone stop time? How wonderful it would be to bottle away some time for oneself! The good memories to be re-lived again and again... Discard the bad ones... but would we be the same people we are, if we had not gone through all the experiences? Maybe, maybe not... nevertheless, that does not mean we have to experience the bad things...

Yesterday I was watching a movie, as usual... when the daughter asks her mother if there was one thing that she could change in her life, one thing that she could go back and do it in another way, what would that be... and the mother answers..."Nothing"... hmmm... and the explanation she gives is that she is happy now and without doing the things the way she had done, she would not be at this moment right now... Interesting justification... how many of us would be able to say this about our lives? Personally, given a choice, I can surely come up with at least a couple of things that I would redo in a different way in my life. I think a lot of us mere mortals, would have a plethora of things that we would want to change in our past...

Does that mean we are not happy with our present life? I do not think so... things are fine.... going on okay... maybe not the best that they can be... they could really be better! But they could be worse too... some decisions we make have an everlasting consequence on the rest of our lives, on the people around us... we can just hope that they are the best under the given circumstances...

I also came across this series called "The Last Lecture"... if there was one lecture that you can give before you die, what would it be? Really fascinating concept... and I watched an episode where a professor from CMU talked... it was a really inspiring lecture... Other than the fact that I realised that we have to live out life to the fullest, looking at his zest for life, one other element that struck a chord in me was when he mentioned that "If you do not like a person, it is just because you have not spent enough time with them; just give a person some time and you will eventually like them". I think that this is totally true. There is at least one quality on every person that will make them affable to us. A truly enlightening lecture.

Lol... this blog again looks as disorganised as always... trying to bring in some sort of organisation, some sort of flow, some sort of surity into the blog, just as we keep trying to do with our lives, I end this one now... :)
