IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES.....

Browsing casually I chanced upon this beautiful set of lines......lyrics by Ronan Keating



Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret,
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

It occured to me that at times we really take so many relations for granted...most of all that with our parents ; they do everything there is to do for us , but do we ever take the time to give them a warm hug and say that we too love them deeply and have our highest respects held up for them..? Well, may be you do.....and it's very good if it's that way ; but with me...it's a different story : I have some guilt pangs choking my soul.....I want to take this opportunity to say...my Dearest Mummy & Papa , I love you wholeheartedly and I deeply respect you.....Though I have never endeavored to say this to you in person, but IF TOMORROW really NEVER COMES.....let this post be my token of gratitude and love to both of you for being who you have been to me....i love you and i'll always be grateful to you......Thanks for everything! :)

A Soliloquiy : The Best Days of Life!

Hiiii Friends!!!!........I am back after a long gap now........so, How have you been all this while...? Hope everyone is good! :)

Prologue : Well, today is 20th August'09 - don't know if it's any big date in history... :P - and my black framed table clock just struck 1:50 AM........nothing great about it....ain't it??........but the most strange and weired thing is that at this unceremonious instant I want to write....and desperately so! I want to pour out everything that's there-burried in my heart, because there is a fear.....I might forget these golden moments...........The college life is getting warmer to it's end............the most beautiful years of life!!.......alas! they'll come to an end, and soon enough...........we keep saying "just one year left"!...........but you know, the bitter fact is - now, not even an year is left.........midsems are around the corner....so nearly half the semester is already over.....




But, quite strangely, all of a sudden what is it that triggered the 'emotional me' in me??......It's a forwarded mail I just read with my friend Sweta.......the loveliest girl I've ever met; and it's not just her lovely, innocent face , it's the real Sweta, her soul that is surely a jewel......and thanks to God for granting me the privilege to be her good friend!


Ya, coming back to the mail.......it talked of every aspect of our college life -- proxies, journal chhapna, submission of xeroxed assignments, fun and frolic before the exams, vivas, crushes and what not!...........Suddenly all the memories of the past 3 yrs here at BIT flashed before me.........and for the first time this realisation dawned on me that -- The past is frozen, unalterable, and this present too will soon become a frozen, unalterable past!


It feels bad..........the college life - nearly 80% of it is over already...........!! And, when I recall my first day at BIT, it seems to have been just yesterday................my heart aches and I want to cry!.............but I really don't know why should I cry?.............Is it the fear that comes from the realisation that I will soon leave this beautiful place............with all the wonderful people I've met here---my friends, classmates, neighbours, and tons of other batchmates!!??!!!


It took me nearly 3 yrs to settle in this place........and now when I'm loving it like anything, it's time to leave!!..........but alas! this is life and separations are simply inevitable......


But there could be other reasons for me feeling thus......and I'm beginning to wonder what?...........Are there some regrets??.....Regrets for not having "lived" my years in the true sense of the term.........well, may be it's there.......infact, it most certainly is there...................but the fact remains -- there is no point harbouring regrets -- and I'll not harbour them 'coz I have never, in the past..so why now?.........


........Although, honestly, the sole consolation here is the fact that nearly the last 1.75 semesters are still left!............and I want to really really LIVE it in the truest sense of the term!!!!..............Do all that I ever wanted to do.....Be a part of all the hungama and the fun and frolic here, shriek, shout and stroll around with friends, make lots of friends........in short LIVE LIFE.........'coz I have realised that these precious days, once they are gone, "no gold can ever buy them back again" !!!

Making the most of......???

Prologue: Flipping through the pages of my school note-book, I came across this beautiful piece of wisdom; just thought I'll share it with you all.......


Most of us have experienced the joys of withdrawing currency from a sufficiently credited bank account.....there is a great sense of security in this, isn't it??


Now suppose there was a bank that credits Rs. 86,400 in your account each morning.
It carries forward no balance. In fact, it debits whatever part of the balance you have failed to use during the day, each evening. What would you do then?......Draw out every paisa, of course!


Well, each one of us has such a bank which is called --'time' . Every morning, it credits us with 86,400 seconds for the day and every night it writes off, at last, any moment that remains, if one fails to invest these in a good way.


There is no opportunity for overdraft either..........Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remainder; And if one fails to use the day's deposits, the loss is one's own.........And.......alas! there is no way of going back!
