The land where time stands still…

We all have been wanting to conquer time since forever. Ever since we were kids, we have always wanted time to be our best friend, but sadly it’s never been on our side. We always say,”wish I had little more time, I would have done this so much better.” other than the “this” in the sentence, nothing else changes as we grow old…And the “this” varies hugely, covering every problem in our life… Be it our school/college exams, our break up, not getting the much deserved promotion, reaching home late after work, whatever it maybe, time has never been on our side. We always want more of it. But hold on for a second and give a tiny miny thought to this…haven’t we already experienced the much wanted still time!? Trust me we all have..Just go back in time and recall when you had to sit through boring lectures…how even a 40 min lecture seemed impossibly long…when you felt that you wont get through this alive, as if you have been captured in a small dingy room and a fat, boring professor is out there to suck all the life out of you…defiantly time was to be blamed, not coz you didn’t have enough of it but only coz at that very moment it decided to answer your prayers and stand still! You cursed every second of wanting time to stop…But that wasn’t the only time…the wheel kept spinning as u grew older n older! Then came the time when the love bug bit you! Everything around you seemed magical…your dream came true! you never missed any romantic movie, u were the first to buy all the love albums as soon they were launched…life couldn’t be more perfect…and once again you wished that time stands still…but then after a few months your “perfect” love story meets a dead end…and you come back to mother earth, face reality! And at this point, time decides to grant your wish… It stands still…you are heart broken, you are miserable and time doesn’t move…you desperately want to get out of this phase, but you can’t…time has decided to stop... How perfect... It did grant your wish, but played with you a little in the process! your play list changed from love songs to break up songs…you felt that all sad songs are written keeping you in mind…you have your favorite sad song too, which is always on repeat, goes into an infinite loop! But you really can’t blame anyone... You are the one who wanted time to stop! Didn’t you…ok lets move on to another such time! ou are returning home after a long day at office…You are tired, sleepy…Your body can take no more…All you want is some food and sound sleep…But hold on, you have to fight for it! You have been chosen as the “lucky winner” to get stuck in the mad traffic jam!! I don’t get this, there is hardly any movement of cars during these peak hours, why is it still called “rush” hour! Anyways... Like you everyone else is desperate to get back home too…But then the traffic signal’s favorite colour is red, and yours is green... And to top it all, its even best friends with “TIME”… You realize nothing can save you now…Signal and time go into long chat mode, and there is only eternal wait that comes your way! Time has stopped again… It’s catching up with its friend after all….You along with other victims of your kind are helpless, there’s nothing you can do…make your car crawl inch by inch hoping that 1 day you will get home alive…save up as much energy as you can for the same marathon the next day! So you realize how it’s best not to fiddle around with time…Not to ask him to stop, or move faster! Let it run on its own pace! It’s on your side too, but you just seem to overlook it…All those moments which gave you immense happiness, time did play your best friend’s role! Don’t hate it, just trust it…It teaches you to be strong, it makes you the wonderful person that you are…Remember to value it…Whenever you are sad, have faith and just move on, don’t crib…everything will be ok in the end… And as they say, if it’s not ok, it’s not the end
