Its annoying that with the release of just a Hollywood flick that picturizes the end of the world everything related to THE END seems to fall into place.There is this fact that the Mayan calender is written only upto 2012 and someone else says even the Chinese calender ends with that fateful year. Coincidently enough I just watched the movie, “KNOWING” .It has Nicholas Cage,running around with a list of numbers that gives the exact date,number of life losses and the exact latitude and longitude of the place wherein a disaster is impending to happen(!). As if that was not enough,the climax shows the end of the world by A SUPERFLARE in our solar system(Maybe global warming is slow poison).
Human mind is complex and completely confusing.On one hand, people are trying to find out about the birth of our solar system. Many theories have been put forward to explain the existence of life on our good old Earth.
On the other hand there are others who predict the END. Are’nt we missing THE SOMETHING inbetween??We are so curious about the birth and death(theres a theory that this is a cycle!) but we are letting the PRESENT slip off our hands.Funny us!
Some of us live in the past.
The childhood memories,how everything seemed simple to do with the knowledge that someone is watching over our shoulder and guiding us. And then the sweet-bitter events of teenage,how our guides suddenly seemed Not-So-Knowledgeable to us (Papa aapko kuch nahin patha hai :-x),how a simple stare from the opposite sex sent us reeling into dreams and the way friends became inevitably important to us.
Some others live in the future. Worried as to how finishing a degree without an arrear(read as finishing atleast amongst top three in a reputed educational institution) was becoming a virtual impossibility,how getting a good paypacket was going to be nasty and clinging on to that job or climbing up higher in the ladder was going to be nastier.
A genius once reckoned, " No man is rich enough to buy his past." Also,worrying about the future is futile. So why bother about the gone and fret over the-yet-to-come?? Ditch all,but the present.
Make your presence felt today.
Smile at all strangers,let loose your hair,do a little jingle,yell at the top of your lungs and call that "primitive music" ,do a pillow fight with your siblings,hug your parents and tell how much you love them,call all your schoolmates and show them that you haven't forgotten any of the past,turn one foe(anyone you haven't gotten well with till now) into a friend and lastly thank God. He has given you yet another beautiful day, believing you would make it beautiful still for someone else.Present is His gift.Unwrap it the right way.
We are alive now,this moment.Is it not a reason to celebrate!! Why are you still staring into the screen ... Go out and catch up with some fun! :-)
