Balancing Time

Balancing Time

It will be very wrong to say that we have to live only in the present, to experience an experience. 

TIME,  one must consider time as past, present and future. Just as the past was the present at one point of time, the future will also be the present at another point of time. So the present in the past and also be present in the future. Therefore, the present is more real. Want me to elaborate.....


Do not reject the past or future. Also do not live only in the past or future. Learn form the past, enjoy the present and plan for the future. 

Be present in the past and thereby learn from the past, be present in the future, thereby plan for the future. But, being alive in the present, you will be able to live and enjoy the present. That's why present is more real!

It is said that, one of the major reasons, Hitler lost the World War II was because he did not learn from history. He attacked Russia in winter. Had he learnt from history, he would have known that Napoleon has lost many of his men due to bone-chilling winter in Russia. 

One can learn from the past as well as from future, by taking care not to be imprisoned by any.


Similarly, by planning for the future, do not lost the present and miss the wisdom of the past or the opportunities in the future. Well then, one needs to be balanced with reference of time. To be wise, one must master balancing time.....

When required you have to take reference from the past or consider the future. hence, balancing time is very essential. 

Still, I end up wondering, what defines the present?

One Hour.
One hour has sixty minutes.
A minute has sixty seconds. 
Further, breakdown the second and still further, the essence of the present is lost itself into 'is-ness'.

Time will melt into Timelessness. 

Then, how to manage Time?
  • Decide on your priorities in life.
  • Prioritise your priorities.
  • Establish your peak performance time.... during a day.
  • Monitor your low performance time.
  • Do any important task at your peak performance time. 
  • Do any less important task at your low performance time.
  • Identify your time wasters.
  • Learn to delegate work.
  • Enjoy your work and you will find there is a lot of time.
  • Review your priorities from time to time.
  • Be with people who are good at time management.

Our Little Man Turns 2 Months Old!

          Our dear son, Sarvagy has reached his 2-month birthday yesterday! These past two months have been a wonderful whirlwind as we've adjusted to life as a family of three. We still remember the excitement and nervousness when we brought him home from the hospital. How tiny he looked in his car seat!           We are so amazed at how much Sarvagy has grown and changed in such a short period of time. He has developed his own little personality and seems to have new abilities each day. From lifting his head steadily, to cooing and smiling, to grasping objects with his tiny hands - we celebrate each new milestone.           While the sleepless nights can be tiring, each morning we are energized by his sweet smile and chubby cheeks when we go to get him from his crib. Our hearts melt with every little coo and gurgle he makes as he takes in the world around him with wide-eyed wonder. As first-time parents, we also want to thank our family and friends for their love, support, and ha

Schools must strive to ensure children achieve best of their ability The role of a school is to create a citizenry for the future by building a group of young people who are passionate, ethical and with strong moral-social radar.  The youth must have a keen sense of justice and an ability to reinvent themselves, whatever challenges their lives demand. The aim is also to give a solid base for their future professional lives and the myriad responsibilities of being an adult.  The School's commitment goes beyond curriculum transactions. It interfuses into co-parenting and being the proverbial friend, philosophical, and guide.  School must aim at ensuring that children achieve the bets of their ability. The first step is to know the limits and extent of their capacity, areas of interest, inclination, limitations, strengths, weakness, interests , and temperament.  It must be done with compassion and patience yet not to lose focus on the right path for every child. Schools must also cons

The Real Mistake is to stop TRYING.

  The Real Mistake is to stop TRYING. Mrs. Warren’s Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. In the play, he writes that “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” It is important to realize that failure is a normal part of life; however, you should not let failure deter you from pursuing your aim. If success requires you to walk the extra mile, do walk, because along the extra mile, there is no traffic jam. Remember to keep the faith in yourself. Strive to do well; do not give up even in trying circumstances. You may falter but keep walking towards your goal. The best things happen to those who keep trying in the face of difficult circumstances.  As B.F.Skinner says, “A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real m
