PRISONERS OF PRESENT
“Stop this”, I heard a voice. After a full
gaze around me, I realized that it was my conscious who asked me to stop. I
kept pouring alcohol inside my mouth and asking myself, ‘Why she’d do this to
me?’. She was the one who asked me to be patient. She was the one who asked me
not to give up on her. And now, she broke everything she promised, including my
heart. Slowly I walked into my home to escape from everyone’s eye.
“Ashok”, he called me. At that moment, he
was the last person I would like to talk. I walked up to him like a mess. He
made me sit before him and stared me for a while. He knew everything that
happened to me. He was a wise old man.
I hate my grandpa’s advice. As he was a
retired physicist, he always preaches me with reference to science. I literally
hate that.
“If God give you a chance to change your
past, would you do it?”, he asked.
“Of course,”
With a chuckle he said, “But we both know
that it’s not possible”. I remained mum.
“Look son, this whole space is a 3D. You
can travel in all the three coordinates, but time is one dimensional”.
I didn’t understand anything he said, for a
moment I thought, who the one was dosed with alcohol?
“We all are the prisoners of the present.
The only thing you can change is who you are now”, he left by patting my
shoulders.
The next morning, I witnessed a stopped wall clock. After changing the battery, the time continued from where it left. That moment, I realised that everyone is a walking clock. Everyone has a unique time and it runs in present. Before it stops, we will always be the prisoners of the present.
MORAL: Present is what we can change, it is what we have.

“A PUZZLE“
Somu was highly excited that his daughter Srinidhi had secured a seat in M.S. course in engineering in an American University meritoriously that assured her of a bright, successful and settled life. His wife Raji was also proud of her only child, but she was as well equally worried about sending her abroad alone that might delay her wedding owing to practical reasons. Somu convinced her not to worry about it and was confident that Srinidhi would always respect our customs and traditions wherever she was.
In those periods in 1980s, going to America, that too for a lady, was a Himalayan achievement. The mode of communication postal or telephonic was also time consuming. Srinidhi was about to complete her Master’s and her parents began searching for a suitable bridegroom for her. They shortlisted a few proposals enthusiastically and awaited her return for finalisation.
Srinidhi completed her course. Then she informed her parents that she would pursue her research course for two more years and her marriage would wait till then.
Nearly seven years had gone and no sign of the return of Srinidhi. Raji was bedridden. Somu still searched for a suitable bridegroom for his daughter to complete his filial duty of performing her marriage as per his value systems.
One day Somu received a call
from Srinidhi. She invited her parents for a maiden visit to America to bless
‘their’ grand daughter. Somu could not believe his ears when she casually said
that she had married an American of late, as she found it very convenient, and
is now blessed with a daughter. He became speechless and his wife died of
shock.
Moral: Time is our master and as
the value systems are relative, they change according to the period of time.
But we perceive them as inalienable and suffer eternally.

TIME
A hot sunny day.
"Oh god!! Why is it too hot today.....
... Ussshhhh.....
How am i going to travel the whole day ??"
By saying this he starts his bike.
Who is he, Looking soo annoyed?
Lets take a look.....
Asher, is a young and energitic manager of a company. Right from morning till bed his life is perfectly scheduled.
His life was so mechanical that even the food he takes was according to a schedule. A schedule not of his own but because of his stereo-typed work . His life was entirely dependent on the tick of the watch on his hand.
For a fraction of seconds he realised how mechanical his life was. He wanted a change in his life.The moment he thought about it,
He saw a group of butterfly.
Few questions poped up.
"Does the butterflies rely on time?
Their life is so unpredictable, still they enjoy each minute!!!
When I can do a lot of other things why am I chasing time?
He then realised time is nothing but a
fiction.
The same evening he had a close look at everything around him.
He realised how beautiful life is!!!
He wanted to work differently instead of running behind time every day.
Now, I leave this story open-ended. If you are Asher, will you once again chase time(being stereo-typical) or live your life as if there is no clock in the universe just like the butterflies......
Time-management is a myth. If you love your job than doing it for a purpose eventually everything else falls in place.
Comment:
Of course, Time is precious, but relying too much on time will leave you
no time to enjoy the beauty of life because,
"Time is nothing but a fiction"

TIME
There was a boy who used to complain every situation of his life. He hated waking up daily, he complained about going to school, he was not happy about doing his homeworks. He hated everything about his life. His parents were much concerned about his attitude towards life. One fine day, he went to school and was punished for no fault of his. This situation created further more rage and he decided to commit suicide. That night he went to the nearby well and jumped. Before he drowned, a man came and rescued him. He patiently listened to the boy's complaint and assured him that everything would be solved before he woke up the very next day and asked him to go to bed and have a peaceful sleep.
The next day, when the boy woke up he was literally shocked. Because he was no longer a boy, he had aged. His head was bald leaving few grey hair strands here and there, his visibility has blurred and his hearing capacity had lowered. He could barely stand as his legs were weak and he couldn't get help of his own hands as it's trembling. He tried to recollect what happened the previous night. Then he realized that the man's word had become reality. As the man anticipated all his problems were solved. He no longer have to wake up early, he no longer have to go to school and he no longer have to do his homeworks. The guy remorsed for what he did and ended up crying heavily. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulders to enquire why he was crying. It was none other than his mom. Only then he realized that everything was a dream and jumped out of his bed. From that day he started enjoying every little thing in his life.
Moral: Time is the important thing in our
life. So enjoy everything before it's too late.

dreams, Tim saw something peculiar he was at the entrance of Time land. He
found a tiny clock guards guarding the time land. Tim slowing sneaked into
timeland, he found three little doors that leads to past, present, and future.
When Tim peeked into past door, he found him as little baby happily sleeping in
the cradle. Tim thought I do not want to be a baby again so then he peeked

Good/ Bad time?
Two
streets before reaching their home, a black cat crossed in front of their car.
Meera told it as a bad omen and asked Lalith to drive carefully. After some
time, a car in opposite direction came too close to their car. Meera sensed
this too as another bad signal. Later in their path they noticed in someone's
house final rituals is going on.
“After going to temple we shouldn’t pass by
this way, so take alternate path”, Meera commanded Lalith with worried face.
Lalith took another route and reached their
home. But in front of their house they encountered a crying teenage girl. Meera
enquired about her situation.
“A person wearing mask took my bag and ran
off in this way”, she answered in a hoarse voice by pointing the direction
which leads to the road that connects their earlier path.
“Your bad omen indicated the bad time of
this young girl as well as us, because if we took that road we could have
caught that thief”, Lalith spoke in frustrated voice.
Lalith continued, “but irony about this
situation is the same bad time of ours made good time for that bastard”, told
in sarcastic manner.
Meera frowned. “May be, but what if that person had knife with him? And what if that person stabbed you when you tried to stop that person? Don’t linger about what we could have done, focus on what we can do now.” She told in satire way.
Moral: In general there is no good and bad time. We humans don’t take responsibility for our act and we blame time. Stop blaming time and act wisely during the time we leave.
For instance, Lockdown for this pandemic is bad at the same time it is good. Think about it!

Hey dears,
Struck with all the storms ? Are you all
lost, confused, insecured and a aloof one ?
These are absolutely, the possible challenges to overcome.
There was a woman who was in love, she was the best mate out of love, eventually the worst enemy when she wasn't in love. Love is one off a thing, so do break up too. Love happens to be the best part as well as the shattered part in every individual's life.
"I trust you" is always deeper than "I love you." Whenever trust is lost, the love is also lost. Everyone tends that breaking up with the loved ones will give the solution. So, break up has been common now a days.
So, people from both the gender, either tries to forget or forgive their loved ones. And Yeah, it is okay to have a breakup. But don't let that influence you.
Inspire your youth today. There is always a life after every breakup. There is a art of Kintsugi in Japan, where broken ceramics are put back together again, their cracks are filled with gold cement to remind us, remind you and all of us, that broken can be beautiful again.
And all through this hell, you will be a different person. Tell them, to have their own shit and you just move on. Don't hope them to love back again, instead hope yourself to love back your inner conscience more.
Neither care for the society nor the fear of right or wrong after breakup. Love is absolutely chasing the moon from a distance. It's all enough what you have gone through. Do not crush your delicate heart further. Fill it with joy, positivity and hope.
So, eventually the woman, started
"Being her own catch.
She didn't depend on anyone to complete
her.
She instead Rebuilded her heart.
She Conquered greater heights."
Everyone has a hell lot of things to do for
our life. Start living your own fantasy world. Get rid of the beaten path, sit
tight for your academic heights. Always have sense of your own purpose in this
world.
Nourish your soul.
Manifest your dreams.
Stay beautiful both in and out always.
Hurrah to all the people who have faced
breakup and haven't let that influence them and to people who are in breakup,
who will not even sit over the past ruining them ! ❤
And finally, all those are upto every
individual's mood swings. So, let us hope time will overcome all these and heal
everyone of us.
With love,
Rekha Sree
❤

Then:
Me: When I bath and get ready
Mom: Where are you going?
Now:
Me: When I bath and get ready.
Mom: Which meeting?
Few incidents remain the same but the concept of time is universal.
Era, century, years, months, days, weeks, hours, minutes, seconds, past, present, future – this is how we have been conditioned to see time but in reality, time is all about living in the present – being aware.
When a mom gives birth or when a person is indulged in coming up with an invention, his only focus would be on the creation. He won’t be in touch with the external world. Similarly right now being at home makes me feel the same. I am unaware of the days or date, I am reflecting on my life lived so far by observing the patterns, emotions experienced, lessons learned, thoughts sow and reaped, attending sessions that align with my passion, getting in touch with the people I love’d’ and unknotting my traumas and finally facing my fear!
This quarantine many of you may be experiencing this in various wavelengths whereas few will be saying ‘I am happy’ whereas others still following the deadlines and routines meticulously. I am not blaming anyone here!
This quarantine period is going to enter the records of history very soon and our future generation will read and rejoice this period with awe and excitement. They may even want to time travel to this period to experience the art of healing!
This quarantine period has made us to slow down and think of what is really needed. It mainly constitutes basic needs such as healthy food, shelter, people to speak, and some sort of entertainment and physical activity plus money.
The grandeur wedding has become simple,
The hard-earned money we spent on malls – the luxury items has lessened,
The BMW car and Maruti 800 both are resting at the garage,
Branded and expensive clothes are replaced by comfortable pyjamas, no-bra days not to forget,
Family time is gradually increasing,
Classes are streamlined,
One time an event is happening and as a result Mother Earth is healing along with us.
COVID 2019 (N)
A time or phase to reflect and evolve consciously!
If you can’t go out, go in!
Is this article sound good, Maya asked her psychologist on WhatsApp.
It is beautifully, she replied who is
training Maya to face her fear and insecurities ever since the lockdown began.
