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..).
