Time

It has been more than 2 months since the last post. If you are wondering what I was upto in this time, I would probably say - "Nothing really!!". No major events in life...just the regular - wake up, get through the day and sleep. Plain survival.

Anyway, it is 6:13pm on a Friday evening on the 8th day of May. As I complete the last sentence, another minute of my life has passed. I am older by a minute. I did not do much in the last minute other than pen (errr type) down my thoughts.

Rudyard Kipling once said (in his famous poen -'If') -

"If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!"

It is impossible for to fill each "unforgiving" minute of life .... that I guess is the reason why we cherish some moments. They are those minutes where we did actually make it across the finish line. They are those minutes that we lived our lives. Having said that, I think I have filled the last few minutes of my life writing this post...it will remain in the cyber world for many many years...just like the mosquito that lay in the fossil in Jurassic Park! (ok bad joke I guess)

P.S - I am not sure about posting this post, but to keep my blog alive I am posting it.
