IT IS NOT TIME

TIME,TIME,TIME----It has become an obsession with me .Does Time exist or is it only a concept? Do we need it? No I am not averse to it.
Let it exist, no harm done, but should we become an addict or slave to it. Nowadays every thing depends on it. Is it a bye product of modern
 industrial age.They say it was the siren that first started the industrial age ushering the humanity to 8 am- 5 p.m factory
 work, later implementing in school for future factory work.
Is it the earth going around the sun which created Time or is it the Time which made earth go around sun? The Hindu pundits say Time is
 the gap between two events. What ever be it, we have complicated our selves with all its gadgets, be it the Clock,the Watch, Calender,or
 what not.
Simply put we are in hell—time to wake up, shit,time to office or school,to eat,to nap, to watch t.v,to pray, go to face book,time to love
 and last to sleep,its endless. Planning, planning,planning---- the hell.Even for this blog I can’t avoid the words related to Time like—
‘when’ ‘ some times’ ‘ future’  ‘ always’  ‘ after’  ‘ while’   ‘as long as’  ‘ old’‘ wait’ beginning’  ‘ end’, etc etc ,how ever much I tried, forget about the  ‘ tenses’.
Off course I can dream about a world with no Time scale , no watches, clock, no calendar. Then , no working days or week ends, no school
 bells, no alarms, no festivals , no new year or Gandhi jayanti, no onam or Christmas holidays,no birth day or anniversary greetings
 [face book will suffer].
No ekadasi, rahu kalom, yamakanda kalam , no jathakom or panchankom, no birth certificate or death certificate to run after, no bill dates to pay, no fixed deposits or loans , no electricity bill, no shift system, no today or tomorrow not even to talk of future, no question of planner, no projects or budgets,no railway time table,no irctc booking, no appointments,no inaugurations or meetings no history classes,no palaentology subject to graduate..
It’s not that Time is the culprit. Its we who vainly try to suck out 60 seconds of every minute,who try to manipulate it  as if it’s on borrowed time , that we fall in to its trap, the trap of so called ‘ time management’ of modern gurus. I feel the so called illiterate  or the wise villager who gives a damn to ‘time’ who has more available Time to enjoy.  So the less we are conscious of Time, the more we can enjoy it or we feel we have more time at hand. So no more looking in to that damned thing above your wrist again and again, I mean the watch , and cursing your life.As far as a pensioner or a child is concerned,you can just wake up at your own pleasure, eat , drink, make merry,do things you like at your own pleasure, kill,or make others life miserable,with out that democles sword of Time above your head.

        May the TIME GOD bless you. Be its master than a slave.
