Time and Place



It’s been a long time since I wrote last. My blog practically is dead and today I have decided to revive it, bring it back from the grave, and bring it to life! I was running out of reasons, not to write but I guess every reason is exhausted and I can feel the flow of alphabets transform to words, to sentences, to paragraphs ,to story and so on…..

This year has been quite an eventful one. And it flew by, even before I could understand where I spent all my time. As humans we want to anticipate the future, know what’s in store for us, be ahead and know everything before anyone else does. But little do we know, everything has its place and time. And I mean it literally. It only feels like yesterday that I took that flight to New Zealand, the excitement, the butterflies of flying to a country I always wanted to come to and be a part of. I didn’t know anyone here, I had no friends, and everyone was equally a stranger to me. I had no clue how is it going to be here. And here I am, successfully surviving nine months in this country, making friends, knowing people and loving every part of my being here.

Some places have this pull about them, you are attracted not only by the beauty of it but also by destiny, yes you read that right! I am exactly where I should be at this moment, doing what I am supposed to do. So my place and time was already fixed even before I knew it, what’s the point anticipating it then? But we do, like always and will keep doing this because we are humans we are curious to know, what’s next? But we can hardly fathom. Standing on the bus stop I always think how’s my day gonna be like, I sometimes feel like superman who can save the world and most of the days I feel like me. 

I don’t know what I want to reach for, for it’s difficult to clear the fog and drive past it, everything takes its time even the day gives way to the night, even the sun must set for the moon to rise. The beauty of things is in its existence, its presence and not in anticipation. Whether you love someone and haven’t told them about it, you like the smile but haven’t mentioned it yet, just go say it before you run out of time. I know everything has its place and time, but now is the good time!!
