I love this poem by Harivanshrai Bachan ji, where he says life is like we have entered a stream and can no longer control the pace or direction of our flow.
Iam reminded here of the words. “और भी गम हैं जमाने में मोहब्बत के सिवा” (Work is and should be critical and will consume most of our time, but we need to find time for other important matters too)
We need to find space to fill up with laughter, family. Friends, books, travel, following a passion etc.
These spaces of stolen time are what makes life beautiful.
And what is this life so full of care, if there is no time to stand and stare! And to wonder, to reflect, to get bored and to do just nothing.
Shall just like to end with this couplet by Iqbal:
अच्छा है दिल के साथ रहे पासबान-ए-अक़्ल
लेकिन कभी कभी इसे तन्हा भी छोड़ दे
(It’s nice to temper your impulse with logic, but sometimes it’s better to just leave it alone.
Just enjoy the Sunday & Stay blessed forever.
