Feel the time

Thinking about what time is, is always fun to me. We calculate or measure time based on the basic unit of time i.e. Second. We plan and execute things according to this and think that we are with the time.
But is time definite? Are we really with the time. Some other person who could not execute the action planned at the same moment as you, might feel that time has stopped, becaues nothing is changed for him. When compared with him, can we say that we are with time..in this case it might be that we are ahead of time...
Do we really feel time...or for that matter can we...i guess yes...to feel time, i think we should not use conventional unit i.e. second...its some thing like this...
consider a weekend..i.e. friday night to Monday morning...3 nights and two days...
Every friday night, i feel that i have 2 days and 3 nights which is quite a long time to pass...every monday morning i feel that weekend is very short considering the fact that my weekend the same 2 days and 3 nights...
Now, if when i say, on friday night i did nothing (while actually most of us definitely do some thing), saturday i went for some shopping, came back and slept and on sunday was just passing on time...weekend seems to pretty short..
Let us put this way:
Friday night: Cooked dinner, watched a movie with room mates, called up home, and slept.
Saturday: Played squash, went for shopping, met some buddies there, lunch at pizza hut, visit to a friends place, had an endless discussion with friends on some really burning topics, going out for dinner, boozing and a DJ...
Sunday: Woke up late, prepared brunch, watching some sada hua movie and making fun of that, calling up home, sweetheart and friends, getting prepared for the next week, etc...it seems weekend has a lot of space to do many things, thought, small.
While the first part is just waiting for the weekend to be completed, the second part is to actually live it. I tend to think both ways and it happens that whenever i thought like in second case, i felt good.
To say i am happy, there should a time in past when i have learnt about being sad. To say i have won, there should be a time when i have learnt what losing is. So, enjoy the moment, live it to the fullest, learn things, and then cherish all those moments for your entire life.Feel the times.


Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
