WHAT IS TIME..?


"Oh we had such a good time that day..!"

"OMG I am getting late.., I just did't keep note of time."

"Please do come on time."

"That person is very much particular about time.."


                           


Yes.., we use the word 'Time' so often. Well, what exactly does it mean..?
So here I decide to google it and get to know it's technical meaning..

Google says..,

It is a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon.

It is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

It is plan, schedule, or arrange when (something) should happen or be done.

Okay.., now let's just dive into it in our own way.., the way we look at it.

[ Below is the conversation that I had with my friend. ]

My Friend: So, see you tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock and yes, don’t be late.

Me: Yes.., okay. See you tomorrow morning and don’t worry I wont be late.

[So here I set an alarm of 7 o’clock before going to sleep]

[It’s 9 o’clock in the morning]

Me: OMG! It’s already 9. I was supposed to up by 7.. Oh no this alarm clock is just not right.
Mom …, why didn’t you wake me up.. also, I don’t remember when did I turned down the alarm I am telling you this alarm clock has some kind of fault in it.

Mom: (little irritated) How can you just say that. Firstly, you didn’t tell me to wake you up. Secondly don’t blame the alarm clock unnecessarily.

My mom just could not make head or tail of people who overslept and blamed it on alarm clock not ringing.., may be because she never felt the need of one.😂

We all would have experienced it right..
So this is the definition of time that says.., “ It is a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon.”


We all would have bookmarked certain events of our life which we say as ‘Good times’ and revisiting it even today pops up a wide smile on our face..

With this we also remember ‘difficult times’ which we found to be difficult in that phase of our life and now looking back at it , we would say.., that was the best learning experience and today I am more stronger because of it.

From some of the experiences that I have had in my life and also listening to the anecdotes of my parents life and other elder members of my family.. all I can say is..
“It is difficult to befriend present when you are quarreling with your past.. so accept your present and make most of it..”

So this is the definition of time that says.., “  It is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.”

I always used to consider myself to be a person who is sorted, lucid about future and very planned until I encountered an unexpected situation which actually just disrupted all my planning..😂

So here all I would say is it’s good to have a clear plan.., but just don’t immerse yourself completely into it because certain things in life are just not in our hands and when it does not happen according to our plan it hurts. So just don’t get completely immersed in it.
And you know what..
It’s difficult that everything will happen according to our timeline , so let’s just leave it on universe’s timeline and make most from whatever we have..

So this is the definition of time that says.., “ It is a plan, a schedule, or arrange when (something) should happen or be done.”

I would just end up saying..,

“We all have boarded the train .. yes the train of life.., we can yank at chain incessantly but you know what, this hurtling train would only stop at it’s destined station..!”

 Be Happy!:)
