Ever wondered how important are those moments that tick by while we are wondering what’s happening in our lives? Ever wondered how important in life it is to be at the right place at the right time? Fate, destiny, wants, desires, passions, muses, peeves… all of them are functions of time which are in direct bearing with the story of our lives.
So many moments pass by in life when you wonder if it is too early to say or do something only to realize that it’s too late already. And how many times does it happen the other way round? When you realize it was better to have waited for a more appropriate time?
Life is a series of moments chained together. One leading to the next and following one… Time, I have realized is the greatest leveler. The greatest tormentor as well… Sometimes I have mourned for not letting go earlier and yet at some other for not being somewhere earlier.
There was this interesting article I read sometime earlier. According to the author if Devdas had met Chandramukhi earlier than Parvati, his life wouldn’t have been such a colossal tragedy. God only knows if that would have been the case but the idea is worth chewing on definitely.
Don’t know what to add on to this. Probably it’s the brevity of this thought that adds to the impact.

Time as a greatest leveler, thats the first time ever heard about it. Although, i am familiar with Time Being Greatest healer.
None the less, in my experience with the little life i have enjoyed on this lovely planet called Earth i figured only thing thats not constant is time itself. So, going by this anything you do will definately have more options some other time. Think about it, rein of Akbar would have conicided with arrival of Portugese or British.. wouldn't India be a Super power of 19th Century??
Let me conclude by saying, enjoy every bit of time you have on your hands.
Time being the greatest leveler is an oft repeated prose... If my memory doesnt fail me its one of the poems written by Lord Byron. Then again maybe that was about death being the greatest leveler. Must remember to look in to that.
But all said and done, its the ticking away of the time that makes us realize many a time that we had the power to change something in our lives and we let the moment pass thinking that any action NOW would be impetuous just to realise later that the power is gone...
As Shahrukh Khan would say,
Aaj,
Aaj ek hansi aur baant lo,
Aaj ek dua aur maang lo,
Aaj ek aansoo aur pee lo,
Aaj ek zindagi aur jee lo,
Aaj ek sapna aur dekh lo,
Aaj.
Kya pata?
Kal ho naa ho!
