I hear one
constant remark every day from someone or the other: “Oh my God. How fast time
has gone by.”
When my wife moved from Mumbai to Chennai for the birth of my daughter in 1990, a couple
joined me as room partners. They later shifted to another city and we lost
track. The couple recently tracked the wedding photo of my daughter on Facebook
and the reaction was, “Oh my God. How fast time has gone by.”
My colleague is
quitting after 16 years of service. I heard at least three other colleagues
telling him, “OMG. How fast…”
Modern technology
offers everything at jet speed. Distances have shrunk, snail-mails are dead,
bullock carts are showpieces and virtual shopping is the norm.
So much time has
been saved in travel and communication.
Yet, we do not
get time to smell the roses or admire the beauty of the twinkling stars.
What’s the
reason?
Sorry, I do not have
time to analyse. If you know the answer or manage to search it on Google, do
email me.
And talking about
time reminds me of a joke:
A wall clock fell
on the ground and the owner yelled, “I hate this clock. It is always slow. Just
a minute ago, my mother-in-law was standing under it.”
hehe.... all of us of so caught up with work and stuff that we forget to stop and admire and love the small things that matter.
ReplyDeleteand that is very very sad
ohh yeah... how fast the time flies... in that time we have jampacked everything... including facebook and twitter :P
ReplyDeleteWe are running behind things to earn a living and in the meanwhile the time just passes by without our knowledge missing all the small stuff that brings happiness and smiles only to regret on a later date for having missed all the fun. So please do enjoy every moment of your life with all that you want to do.
