Lost down the lane

   It's been a long time now,I didn't get in touch with blogging and many of my blogger friends .My apologies.Friendship is a very unique  relation which has no boundaries.The bond is eternal and is not restricted or influenced by any of the social pressures ,customs ,responsibilities or obligations which we are a part of ,in many of the relations we possess in  life.The relation among friends may grow weaker or stronger and may have ups and downs ,but the fact remains that once coined the term 'friend 'it cannot be modified , no matter the relation had it's own shortcomings.That nomenclature remains sealed for ever through your lifetime .
   Saying that ,I flow across my haunted memories down the lane recalling the relation I shared with so many friends and pals of mine all these years.Have you ever tried to replenish your barren part of the memory about your once a favorite person or a friend who would have been lost down the memory lane?We would have shared a very intimate relation with them ,they would have been the ones who  have soothed our souls ,kindled our sunken spirits with sparks of joy and affection and help us revisit ourselves.Life is a voyage and we  keep moving  through different stages of life . It's so weird that ,similar to a passenger forgetting  his co passenger once he gets down his destination,we tend to move ahead in life  leaving behind the ones in our life, through each moving phase of our life.One person gets down and the other climbs up and fills the seat next to us.We do keep in touch with a few friends ,but how we wish we could maintain the same relation with every friend of ours who once were a significant part of us.But anyways ,thanks to social media sites which gave me an opportunity  to digg up  my memories and revive my friendship with so many pals of mine.I remember having some very important people in my life: a very close pal "rashmi shankar " in my 2 nd grade;a sweet friend named Namita in my 4th grade,a few other school friends,a person whom I befriended during my journey to Poona in train  from Mumbai ,but couldn't share our contacts ,a friend whom I met during my relatives  hospitalisation and shared close bonds ,a shop keeper guy whom I knew so well and was like a brother to me ,a neighbor aunty who was just like a part of my  family and a well wisher to me and served me loads and loads of delicious food,this way the list goes on and on.But now ,they are all lost, but still  remain a part of my life, sealed forever in a beautiful gift box of "memories"in my mind and heart forever.

Are you a' time table 'person??!




  It was a regular evening  and in between my household chores  , I glanced at the  clock form my kitchen and realised that I was running late to finish my  cooking for dinner.It was already 8 45 pm and I need to put my son to sleep  before 9 30 pm ,for he has to wake up the next day at 7am .Then I tried figuring out why I was late for cooking and realised that I had spent more time relaxing myself watching the evening serial and also  surfing at Internet.Then I rolled back and tried calculating the rest of my activities ,so that was a long list of teaching my son,taking him for a bicycle round ,his nap with my small nap too,his lunch ,school pick up ,afternoon lunch preps,cleaning up, etc etc.I see myself on the toe always and have an urge to complete a task and always be in a state of anxiety that I would be running late.
       I know it feels nice to be chilled out and relaxed and just keep it going without being bothered about anything.We always do not like to be bound by the time and do our day to day chores.We have certain things in our life which are restrained by time :ex our office time;our meeting time;our kid's school time .But what about other things?Do every single chore need to be time confined or restrained by time.Imagine even our nap or relaxation time is confined to specific time constraint.I see the clock and wake up horrified every time after my sleep ,as to what needs to be done next.Hope I had all the time on earth and  could do at least one activity peacefully without having any internal stress.So after all these tensions,I made it a point to make time table for myself to manage my time for each of my activities like "play time for my son','study time for him','my surfing time',my nap time',my cooking time'etc so that I get some relief.



Do you guys feel the same ?Do we need to keep up a certain time schedule and follow our day to day activities?Do we need to organise the entire day ,so that we don't run out of time ?
