Hope you had the time of your life!!

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

How true is each line and I am sure each one of them who have had the time of their life in college would agree with me.
As someone had once put it "college ke gate ke is paar tum life ko nachate ho... aur gate ke us paar life tumko nachati hai" [literal translation - on one side of the gate the you make your life dance and on the other side the life makes u dance]
We all seem to be lost in this race trying to be in the lead trying to better others and in the process we seem to have missed the track and eventually the finish line.

As i try to figure out where I am currently in the race and where i am heading to, I try to remind myself each day to live life in present
I know we are expected to mature and be more responsible but is it really worth after sacrificing your joy. Somehwere we should strike the balance and that seems to be the secret mantra for a successful person
Alls well that ends well people say but for me alls well that goes well till the end, I mean no one is sure about the end so why live in future - Live in present.

Dream about future, plan for future but not at the cost of present!
