The Lady... The Whiff... The Sniff....

The other day, I was just walking down on the road thinking about things which I am not going to get into here.. When Suddenly I see this pretty little thing coming (or floating should I say:)... "An Angel" I thought to myself:P:P) in the opposite direction... Anyways, She was this elegantly dressed lady. She was understandably very involved in various things like where she was stepping, how her hair was behaving w.r.t the breeze and a host of other subtle actions(Boy!! Talk about Multitasking!!!)

The Closer she came to me, The more I felt my world squeeze in my Head... And to top it off like icing on the cake, She Had a wonderful wonderful aroma about her. Or so I thought until She came Close enough So I did what came to my mind at that moment.. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath...

You CANNOT, I REPEAT CANNOT Imagine What Happened Next...........

Atchooo...

Yes people, There I've said it.. I Sneezed.. I Really did... And I wouldn't be entirely being truthful if I say I did it again cause i Did it again and again for about 30 seconds(ETERNITY)...

One Probably good thing I would say is I did not get to see her face after the "Incident".. All i Knew is I Think she just stopped everything that she was doing and started to concentrate on the Issue in hand.. Walking Away....

Anyways what it did was that it got me analyzing in to the run up to the unfortunate incident.. I was Determined to let it NOT happen again.

let me Take you through SOME of the things that went through in my head....

"Did I just Sneeze????... I hope I did't... OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE.. I JUST SNEEZED.... Why me of all the people? Why? WHY? and for heavens sake why at that precise moment??? Was it the Perfume??? NAH(What a Scary thought!!!).. Cant be.. Has to be some dust in the "breeze".. Who am i Kidding??? It was the Perfume.. oh nooooooooo.................Bleep Bleep........")

As a Probable Remedy to the Problem I have sworn to use or rather drown myself(Thats what it takes!!!) in more deo or "pleasantly" smelling things(cant find many.) on MYSELF more than any girl i come across....And going by what i have seen..er..smelt.. I think soon enough I am going to create a big enough hole in the Ozone layer to kill a forest or something(Kidding!!!)...

SO A PUBLIC-SERVICE MESSAGE TO THE GIRLS/GUYS(To prove I'm not Gender Biased.. I really aren't:D:D and Guys Do it too anyways..) STOP USING THOSE OZONE-DAMAGING DEO's and other stuff too...

TIME

Probably one of the best things ever to happen to me is me being born... I finally arrived from the realm of the unknown to this amazingly wonderfully confusingly bitter-sweet place. Taking things into perspective I don't really know if its been an instant since i came in or has it been eons and eons together. You see I'm very confused about this wonderful concept called TIME. I'm sure at this point of "time"(I cant believe it :P) most of you people are thinking "Well that is something very clearly defined by science. Whats really so confusing about it???" Lets just for the moment put aside all the stuff like Time-lines,Time-zones and all the very well documented time related Stuff..

Just take a moment(or more if you like :D) to pause your time and think about all these years that have just passed you by.. Think about how much time you actually did spend in the crib, in your mother's arms, in kindergarten, in school, in the company of your parents, friends, think about the time you spent studying, pretending to study....The list just goes on...

Now just take that list and considering the long long life each and every one of you is going to have multiply it by 2 or say 3 or 4 or whatever fancy number you can think of.. and just IMAGINE the moments that you are going to have. There are I'm sure a lot of them.

Now comes the time for you to probably ask yourself the same question. "How exactly does time work for me?". and following immediately next should probably be "How can I make it work better?" If you can find satisfactory answers to these questions , believe me when i say it.....You are really really going to be at peace with everything that you do in your life.

Please note that I'm nowhere talking about Time-Management here.. That's a whole other concept although probably intertwined in an almost inseparable kind of way. But still it is definitely different here.

P.S:- I've used "moment" to quantify time because I feel its one of the words if not the only one whose meaning actually goes beyond the definition of time itself. Having a moment is more about the everything that happens at the time than the time itself. Well i think I'm just stating the obvious now.
