Samay

"Samay"
I had heard my Grandfather say many a times, in different situations, "Samay bahut balwan hota hai" (Time is very powerful).
Now, I have experienced it.
Time is the mightiest.
Time alone can heal.
Time is the greatest teacher.
Time is the most effective solution to almost any problem.
Time is the only constant - and it changes every second - every nano second.

In most complicated matters of life, that I have not been able to effectively handle, time alone has set things right and gently guided me into doing the right thing.
With time, I have realised things, with time I have made better decisions, with time, I have learnt the value of certainthings, with time I have changed.

Time/Life really has its own way.

Many a times, I have experienced life (or call it whatever, superpower, God etc etc) communicate with me. Drop hints, give me a sign, or gently prod me into doing something that I would not have otherwise. I have had people come into my life at particular times and then fade away from my life naturally. After they are gone, I have found myself thinking that they were Godsent at that time. They had given me just what I needed then. They had shown me the way, or eased away some pain, or changed me in some way - for the better.
Sometimes I have found answers in TOI daily horoscopes, or in advertisements, or in some newspaper article etc. I have often been accidently hit by just what I needed at that point.

Have you ever, felt time?
I have. I cannot explain how, but lets say I have sometimes become very aware of it. Its a strange feeling.
I sometimes want to surrender to it. At other times I want to fight it.
I have wished I had a remote control to fast forward or rewind. :-)

I never believed in astrology or the concept of good time, bad time etc.
I may still not believe in a lot of those things, though, I am tempted to believe in some of those things.

I have realised that like seasons of the earth, we too have seasons in our life. Our very own seasons.
When autumn sets in, whatever you do, trees will shed leaves, flowers will dry and fall. Winter will be cold no matter what. Fighting it wont help. Denying it will not take away the cold.
And when winter turns into spring, it is miraculous. :-) All things become bright and beautiful, automatically, without any effort, without any doing. Sometimes winter is longer than usual. sometimes there are enough warm clothes, sometimes no logs for a fire. Some springs are better than the previous ones. But seasons change. Time moves on.

Its springtime for me now, and I hope it lasts long, real long...long enough to last forever. :-).
