Ranjani

We think that we haven’t change, I don’t understand that why we lie to our self. Sometimes I feel myself a complete another personality resisting the fact that time hasn’t changed a bit.

When I ponder of my schools days it showed me how fast our clocks are moving their needles, even when the batteries were off. I wonder if I can work hard and achieve what I want in this short life-time. There are so many things to be done in this world and how time passes by making efforts to change or to begin changes.

I wish if every second unwinds for few occasions, and we can rectify things in a better way as we always wanted or regretted for. Time is precious, an old say but absolutely true, which is only realized when it passes by.

I didnt know if I should laugh or feel bad for the old tortoise..

Its very important to be self dependent.. I have realised it and started believing more strongly on it as I spend more and more days away from home..

Its always good to have someone around you.. who you know is ready to do something(may be everytihng) for u but.. very true.. to avoid old tortoise’s condition.. we must always be ready to do everything by ourselves..

Also.. Its always ideal not to have expectactions.. But Actual and ideal is always different and so I believe its impossible to not to have expectations from anything(living or non living).. I feel expectations are not only about getting work done.. Goes way beyond it.. But yes philosophically speaking “The lesser we expect, the happier we are”
