Time and tide waits for none.......
The clock ticks away... the Minute hand and the Second's racing with each other while the majestic Hour hand stands patiently and firmly for it's turn to come, to move ahead with a kingly gait......
In those seconds, minutes, hours that never seem to stop from going round and round, marks the ageing of today.... so many incidents keep occuring in those fractions of the seemingly limitless motion of the clock..... yet it never tires out... Unknowingly the world keeps moving along with the unstoppable. It all seems like a crazy inertia of motion that is making our lives frenzied with so much to do and trying to stop so much from happening .... the world seems to be churning in such an imbroglio of events. And we are a major part of the same... How amazing it is, that one can't determine his/her day's schedules without this piece of machine. We make sure that it keeps ticking as we keep them recharged with batteries for their long life! I wonder to what extent it (clock) has become indispensable in today's life... machines have we all turned into... machines we depend on... It marks the beginning of our day and shows its hands to call it a night !...One half of the earth sees the daylight, while the other looms in the dark of the night... The world witnesses diabollically opposite timings but without the clock stopping from ticking......... it goes on and obout the 12 digits at regular intervals, without a moment's halt, but we keep tossing between the 'days' and 'nights' which we determine with suffixes such as 'a.m.' and 'p.m.'....The Present transits to Past, and the Future as the Clock ticks away....... I can't help but feel that we have become mere puppets in the hands of the Minutes, Seconds and Hours. Completely enslavened with the concept of our 'time running by'..... thus we keep running to and fro towards realising our dreams, aspirations, goals and aims by keeping a watch on the Watch!....... The rate at which the Earth rotates, is gradually pacing down... I wonder if we would be able to abide by the Hands if and when it(Earth) stops from rotating...A phenomenal change would be witnessed that would be witnessed by every living creature on this planet, and their lives would not be as it is today...Especially people who are not living at the Polar regions, would wait for the dawns and the dusks to break......and guess, the wait would be then of eternity....... guess again, it's the TIME that would say what is in store for all of us !........
I visualise the globe(earth) squeezed into the perimeters of the wall clock that keeps a vigil at me with such threatening gaze, that I not only love to imagine, but cherish the fact that I am able to reduce the dynamics of this mere machine into words and smirk back at it, saying... "yeah you see... it is finally me who you got to depend on, for it is my pregogative to speak and write about your glory !... and present you to the world the way I want to! "
.......... Well !....who am I kidding?? !!! (sigh).... Time is what determines our past from present, and present from future.......and so on and so forth...... It rules! ... just as it is saying that it's now 2:a.m. and that it's time that I retreat to give my mind some rest !!... So, wishing you all a very good night...and hoping to see you tomorrow moment my alarm goes off !!!!!....
...aah that reminds me that I have to set the alarm and give the Time the privilege of taking it all over once again!
Time it is !
Sweet deams.....................
