Along With a Ticking Clock..

Once, Mahatma Gandhi was travelling in the train way up to Darjeeling. In Darjeeling, there are small toy trains that travel uphill. Now, in the midst of the journey the engine somehow got disconnected from the coaches and continued running forward while other coaches rushed down backwards. It’s so golly to explain what a person seated in a train, heavily sliding backwards with a view of deep valley of the great Himalayas on one side and no way of jumping off such speedy train! All the passengers were in rush and hush and in the middle of all this panic Gandhiji was dictating letters. He asked his colleague to take dictation. That person tried to explain the fact of the situation to what Gandhiji replied, “Suppose we get saved, we would have wasted all this time. If we die, we die. But if we are saved, we wasted so much time? So, come on, take dictation.”It obviously sounds insane. But let me remind you that this was the man who was once thrown out from the British drenched train, when he was infamous and to the contrary with the same strategy that I shared above, he threw ALL of them out of India. This is how all the man with principles and most of the amateurs have brightened up before us.

With every miniature lapse of second we are heading to the dead end.There have been world famous sayings since ages like “Time is money”, “Never waste time”, “The time gone will never come back”, blah blah and many more of them. To most of us they really seem some rusted bizarre thoughts. But basically, we all are running with the shortage of time. We don’t have time to go meet or talk to our friends and even family. We lack the capability of finishing off the assignments and meeting up the deadlines. We don’t have time to take a moment and pray that almighty who gave us such a beautiful life. We don’t have time even to spend in doing things we love or cultivate the dreamt hobbies!

Why so?

Seems like it has turned into a serious global problem!

All of us have at least that one person, that one exceptionally extraordinary persona, whose just one view brings a pause to our motion, no matter howsoever crucial work we are engaged into. In normal language, the one whose we are fan of. Of course, we highly adore their glory and keep praising for how magnificently superb they are in their particular patches. Every day, every moment, there arrives a new trend of any new multi-star or a sportsperson. And it has become a tradition that it must be followed asap by a true fan, then whether it’s a cool outwitted haircut or any voguish fashion myth!

Now, my question is to all those dear fans.

How do you rate the success of your loving stars?

By the fact that how perfectly well their life is going now? Or by the sweat of strain they had to pass through to reach where they are now?

People easily envy and crave for the glam and fame of all the living legends, whilst copy them but hardly care to seek for the virtues they adopted. Apart from excessive struggle and years of patience and even finally sustaining their goals, there’s one thing common in all of them that they maintain every day, i.e., Time Management.

Let’s see what few of them have to say on it.

It’s very obvious that if you imagine yourself at the position of second richest entertainer of the world, what else would you live more for? Perhaps, the actual owner of that position, King Khan fame SRK, believes that every morning when he wakes up, he thinks it’s a new day of his career. He still have many new stuff to learn and he tries to do his best, thinking that the day is the last one! That’s the reason that has kept his righteous for work till date.

The tennis superstar cum fashion diva, Maria Sharapova says, “I like to stay busy. When I wake up in the morning, I put on my sports gear and practice and when I think I’ve practiced much on my court, my brain is always working. I am still young and I have so much energy. When I sit on my couch to rest only for an hour, I can’t do this anymore. I got to get going.”

In one speech, present Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi says, “People who say they don’t have time are those who actually do not have anything to do. Those who are consistently working never sense its shortage.”

That’s true! Every next person that meets up is always ready with an explanation of not having enough time to spend. People keenly working never come up with any lame excuses and on the other hand the one following leisure rules are always loaded with their minute proclamations. It’s a huge misconception that a handful burden of work leads to exhaustion and complaints. Actually, right person finds satisfaction of time nevertheless he is loaded with work. It’s the most common belief of the mass, ‘Relax first, things pending can be done later.’ You even make a backup time-table of completing it, but to the distress you’re never able to fulfill it up at the end. If you’ve marked at all, in the process of relaxing keeping the pending stuff aside, there’s always a pointer poking into your head that keeps repeating, “You have to get it done, You have to get it done, You have to get it done….”

Urghh! Damn it and get it done! It won’t take ages to finish it off. Then see, the comfort of that leisureliness. Its bliss is more worthy than the former ones.

We all are habitual with checking out what’s up on the clock. Most often, the lock screens, as it’s a cell-phone age. Its quite of interest to know that our these daily companions have been through a huge evolution. It almost took a decade of centuries to come up with well facilitated pendulum clock. The evolution initiated with sun-dials, then sand clocks, water clocks, elephant clocks, castle clocks, astronomical clocks, and pendulum clocks, finally following the era of Watches! It’s a shame for the ones of this generation if they don’t value such an enormous contribution of our late scientists and ancestors. No matter how exclusively branded watches you wear, their value is of zero monetary if you don’t know the value of time they show.

We conclude here, the two main categories of humans:

1. Those who don’t know how to spend time.

2. Those who don’t know how to SPEND time.

It’s your choice, in which category you wanna lay.

Roger That:

Living in the moment is life. Save every quantum of second by utilizing it. Before the god’s grace turns to holy death, wind up with all your awaiting stuff. Keep no regrets.
