Its 1:37 A.M by the clock.

Just came back to the room after a 3 on 3 Basket Ball game, girls against the guys, and yeah, we almost won(No pun). Total fun.

Rewind.

Around one and half hours back, I was shouting at everyone near and far, very irritated, since, one, I wasn’t able to decide the stupid Cognitive Science Term Paper’s topic which I was supposed to be by 12, two, I was still left with reading some 40 pages of the thesis as part of my Independent Study which I had planned to complete by today, three, was totally annoyed by the fact that people around me had nothing better to do than to reap their crop and make cocktails( if you are wondering where, go check out facebook ke stupid games, join in, they are in need of neighbours) whole day long!

So, though I had decided not to play Basketball till the exams get over, I just left everything hanging wherever it was(like a remote in my hand, pressed – pause) and went to the court :D Amazing one hour of playing and running around and the enjoying the feeling of satisfaction which comes after that one shot which goes in after so many such ones that had just rolled around it and fallen out.

Fast Forward.

Back to 1:37 AM.
(the “things-to-do” still hanging where I left them, still Paused).

What now? So much to do ,tomorrow – Networks class and day after tomorrow – exams and those deadlines !
But I toh want to write a blog :D , says me, my blog deserves my attention at least half-yearly :P . But what to write in there remains the question.

Doesn’t matter, lets begin!
So, I did, without a clue of what to write about. But as I reach almost the end of one page, I realize I do have written something even before deciding on what to write, and its not as random as it seems. I may have a point that could be conveyed.
Well ,talking to the point, the point is, you see, ultimately this time, this very moment and this very ‘feel’ of doing something, if it’s there, might never ever come back again. So no matter how busy we are in doing things which we are supposed to be doing, we must take time out to do things which we absolutely love doing, which are important to us and which make us happy without any ‘conditions apply’ . We must pursue things which we ‘so’ wanna do, but don’t because of reasons of various shapes and sizes. Got to remember that the opportunity might not ever come again. And missing one, will leave us regretting whole of our lives, trust me :)

So whether it be a wanting to play basketball when you are supposed to be meeting deadlines, or to write a blog when again you are supposed to be meeting deadlines; or the want to play stupid facebook games if it gives you pleasure; or may be the wish to look out of the window and enjoy the breeze or gaze at the stars, or that desire to have a chocolate cake; or to dance madly alone in your room or simply the will to study RFCs (just because you find it interesting) when no one else is doing it and thinks you crazy if you tell them you want to, all these things, just go ahead and do it , do it for your own self ;)

I know, I know, it’s not a very nice thing to suggest just before the exams. :P

But, the thing is we may never be able to get time for these things which we actually want to do, until we take the time out. Our mind shall always tell us to do otherwise, the more logical way and that way may actually be the right one. All I want to say here is that lets take time out (well, its always advisable in the game :P , i wish we had taken more of them :P ) , take moments out of our own lives and grant those things that make us extremely delighted and give us satisfaction , a little time. Try all the things which we always wanted to (this line inspired by a friend, due credit to you) !
Because it is only these times, which we are finally going to remember , say some 30 years down the lane as our memories ( well, yeah, my Cog. Sc. Term Paper topic has to do with memory :P ) and are always going to cherish them and be happy about the fact that we actually gave ourselves the opportunity to make ourselves happy at least for sometime, without bothering about any , play again ,any thing else.

So , go ahead, dream on, and give you self the chance :)

Like I did today.

Its 2:36 Am, and i’m done ! :)

Stay Happy,
Signing off,
Shubhangi
