Time-Pink Floyd
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ntm1YfehK7U
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

This is such a wonderful song. it makes the most sense to me. we are all complaining of not enough time, but really time only passes us by. we are just so busy that we don't notice. time plays so many tricks on us, cheating us, twisting us, changing us. and yet, it is time that is unchanging.
The reason i posted this song was because i was in Bangalore the other day. I had gone with my dad and we stayed over at a friends place. the song was playing and all three of us were just so into it, we sang out loud. Such a wonderful song it was to listen. we had just finished our day's programme and were reclining on various couches and chairs in the room. and i didn't even feel out of place with my dad and his best friend.
I think of my time. i used to complain a lot about how fast time sped by me. how i miss my younger days, how there could have been so much more i could have done. life seemed to revolve around regret. but time, we know waits for no one. and now i realise how i must seize the day and take in everything without a second thought. live my life before i sit around thinking 'damn, i could have enjoyed myself'. i shall let down my hair, let life take its path, and let time walk on with me following closely behind.
time and the lack of it is after all just a ruse of the mind. for if you did something you felt profoundly happy about, then time wouldn't matter. it passes by you only if you regret. and i have decided i shall regret no more.
yes, time is of the essence so i shall love, laugh and live it up.
