A beautiful writeup from Sudha Murthy

A beautiful writeup from Sudha Murthy

I feel…… 

“Barely the _Day Started_ and… it’s  _Already six in the evening._ 

Barely  _Monday Arrived….._ And it’s _Already Friday._ …….

Before we could _Realise_ …..

The _Month_ is _Already Over….._ 

And, And…._The Year is Almost Over._ 

As of now……Already  _40, 50 or 60+_  

 _Years of Our Lives_  have passed…….

… And Suddenly  _We Realise_ that we 

Lost our _Parents_ …

 _Friends……_ and some _Beloved Ones……_ 

And than we _Realize_ it’s _Too Late to Go Back……._ 

So… 

 _Despite Everything……_ Let’s Try…….

To 

 _Enjoy the Remaining Time………_ Let’s keep looking for _Activities_ that _we like…_ 

Let’s put some _Color_ in our _Grey_ (if we aren’t _Bald_ yet)……..

Let’s _Smile_ at the _Little Things in Life_ 

that put  _Balm in our Hearts._ ……

And despite  _Our Physical Discomfort_ ……

Lets continue to _Enjoy_ with _Serenity_ the _Time Left in Us…._

Basically the implied meaning of this _Message_ is 

That Let’s try to  _Eliminate_ 

 _The Afters_ …I’m _Doing_ it _After_ …

I’ll  _Say After_ …….I’ll _Think_ about it _After_ …….

Yes…..

We are habituated to _Leave everything_ to  _Postponing_…. 

High time we understand ′′ _After_ ′′ is ” _Never Ours”……_ 

 _Aren’t We Aware…._Afterwards Means_ , 

The _Coffee_ gets _Cold_ …_Afterwards Means_ , 

 _Our Priorities_ tend to _Change_ …….

 _Afterwards_ _Means_ , the _Charm_ is _Broken_ …….

 _Afterwards_ _Means_ _Health Passes…_ Afterwards Means…_ 

 _The Day_ becomes  _The Night…_ 

And 

 _Suddenly Afterwards_ _Life Ends….._ 

So… 

Let’s _Leave Nothing_ for _Later_ …….

If we continue to 

 _Harp_ on _Afterwards/Later Syndrome_ ………

We will _Lose_ the 

 _Best Moments_ ….. _Best Experiences…._ 

 _Best Friends….._ _Best Time_ with _Family_ …

Lets Wake Up…..

Realise

 _The Day is Today…_ 

 _The Moment is Now…._ 

 _Lets Face Stark_ 

 _Reality ……._ 

We are 

 _No Longer_ at the 

_Age_ 

where we can 

 _Afford to Postpone_ ….

Hope You have 

 _Time to Read_ this Message and Share it with 

_Like Minded_ 

Similar Aged Persons who 

 _No Longer_  

 _Have Luxury__ To _Postpone_ …….

(Or maybe you’ll leave it for… ′′ _Later_ “…

And you’ll never Share it..).
