!!! The past.. the present and the future..!!!

As time passes, we move on with our lives. Change is the only constant that remains with us throughout! We get more and more involved in our doings and we tend to forget our past, things associated with our past. The only thing that we care about as we move on is future. So much we are into securing our future that we often stop living in present! Its only when time passes and misery strikes us that we realise what we have missed upon!
Its not bad to think about our future but in doing so we shall not forget about our past and our present. Its our past that has made us what we are today. We could have been a totally different person if we had a different past. The events that take place in our lives shape us into the kind of person we are today.
Today the world has become a rat race, and we are just another rat in it. Trying to race and defeat our fellow rats. Well, competition is not a bad thing but unfair competition is. The motive of a competition should not be to harm others but to learn something new.
When we leave school and go into college, we forget the friends we had at school. We hardly care to keep in touch with them, or maybe we do keep in touch with the handful! The people around whom our lives' once revolved are not even cared for now! Ofcourse if we bump into them in a mall or theater we will exchange a pleasent smile or maybe cellphone numbers but thats the end of it. We never even care to call them or message them! We meet new people. They become the centre of our lives. This is only the law of nature. There is nothing wrong with it. We should meet new people, go new places after all life is all about changes otherwise it will be very monotonous.
The only thing that we should keep in our mind while we are out there enjoying ourselves is that yesterday someone was there for us when we needed them and we should not forget that.
Its always good to be in touch with your past. There is no happiness like meeting an old friend after a long time, or talking about your childhood days! Even in saddest of our moods if we meet someone who has known us for long, just talkin to him about old days brings a smile to our face, tears to our eyes!
Its rightly said, "Yesterday is a cancelled cheque; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely.", but remember one thing that if we didn't have this cancelled cheque to our name, we couldn't have afforded the promissory note today! So as we go on with our lives, take out sometime to think about what we have left behind! There is no happiness as hearing from an old friend! Go ahead, the world is at your feet. Grab all the opportunities that you can, the world is out there waiting for you to rule it but when you are at it don't forget anything that helped you in being in such a position that your are today.
Well to sum it all up, its always good and necessary to take out sometime and think about what all we have achieved and what all we have left behind.

Good writing peel, the smallest of incidents can often provoke the deepest of thoughts, there are things that are best forgotten, but old friendships are not among them.
