Past versus Present! Has anything really changed?











Those days...
When going to school was almost imposed upon us..
When doing homework was the toughest thing in the world..
When getting up early to revise the syllabus on the day of exam was a torture..
When doing exercise in school was the boring chore ever...

                                   











                                                       " versus"

Today..

 When going to office is almost imposed upon us..(except we are being paid for that..;) )
When completing the scheduled tasks in office seems to be toughest thing today..


When getting up early to catch up on a Monday morning meeting is a torture..
When promising yourself to do exercise to stay fit( or reduce weight..:P ) is the boring chore ever..


Has anything really changed? Life just changes its attire after few years and so do our roles, but we remain the same, keeping one foot in the present and one foot in the future and completely forgetting that there is something called "present" which would never come back to us, no matter what..Still, we keep cribbing and achieve nothing but another lost moment of life.

Someone had rightly said - "Nothing ever gets anywhere. The earth keeps turning round and gets nowhere. The moment is only thing that counts."

P.S : Thanks to the approaching Monday which made me write this comparison :D

And its still stuck with me as 'Kaash'!!

There are sometimes in life where you have just one feeling - "Kaash!!" :( Not sure, if you should be happy or sad for it because life indeed has some plans for you, much better then your "Kaash". But, at the same time, can't deny the fact that, until life shares its calendar of events with you,  it always remains a "Kaash" and you're forced to put on your thinking hats for the same. Somethings like.. I wish I had never answered the way I did.. I wish I had never said "No".. I wish I had never said "Yes".. I wish I had never committed to it... I wish I had controlled my emotions a little bit better.. I wish I had never took that 'U' turn in life.. I wish I had just kept my ego aside and confessed what I felt then.. I wish I had said 'sorry'.. I wish I had expressed my feelings when there was still some time.. I wish I had just grabbed the opportunity right then.. I wish I had placed my

Acceptance in Life has no alternative!

Remember the last time when you were asked to do a project in office which you hated the most, assigned work with a "team mate" (working with whom is the last thing in life you would like to do :P, annual hike (?),serious fight with your best buddy, last Good bye to someone(not sure if you will see the person ever again or not :( ) and the list continues....I am sure all of us would have come across one of these, may be few hours back or few days back or may be few months back. And then, we don't miss to repeat those instances to all our friends who tend to show sympathy to us( no matter how long the list of sympathetic friends is, we don't mind to tell our so called "woes" over and again) These are the times when things just happen contradictory to our expectations. At first, it seems sometimes "life is being very rude to us", "We are being treated in the most ruthless way possible", "why ONLY me!" and the stream of negative t

A scary night that was..!

All three of us were in a celebration mood as it was my roommate’s birthday and it was obvious to go out for a treat. After spending couple of hours on deciding the location, we finally decided that we would try a lake side restaurant which had very good ambiance and Google said the food was good too. So, we had to give it a try. The place was around 20 kms away and we had a booking for 8.30 pm, presuming we “would” leave by 7.30 pm. It’s nothing unusual for girls to get late by 2 hours when we decide to go out , as it takes time to change at least 5 dresses and finally come up with the final one(that too depending on what others are wearing ;-) ). No surprises, started from home at 9.30 pm! Finally, we managed to reach the place in next half an hour. Little did we realize that we are too late. We took our own sweet time to order food and kept ourselves engaged in gossips, photo shoots and so on! When it was time to order dessert, we were already full but could not resist the tempt
