Time Machine

Salt and Pepper! Was it really me in the mirror with all the greying hair?! And what are those-small wrinkles appearing at the corner of the eyes? Ooooh how time flies!

The vagaries of life- this is the ultimate truth- how true is the management mantra "change is the only constant"! At least something which I remembered from my management studies- Ha!

Knowing this ultimate truth we keep on indulging the individual egos which somehow always dominates the id. Brother going after brother, wife manipulating husband and vice versa! Laughing at somebody's miseries! How we are consumed with all things puny and petty.

Then one day comes- like it came today, when you suddenly find out that your youth is fading away. And then suddenly you find that the people whom you used to look upto are not there anymore! Emptiness!

But then tomorrow will be another day- going for the meetings, running after fulfilling your egos and then you lose it again.

...Till you again find yourself standing in front of the mirror in another time, another age

Time Machine!How I wish it was not just a fantasy!!

  1. If time machine had not been a fantasy, to which year would you have liked to take yourself back? :-)

  2. interesting and difficult question- which were the best years? was it 1979? or was it 1991? how about 2008? Each has its own significance. But I guess 1979 would qualify the best year. will let you know why when we meet next ;)
