Get busy living or get busy dying

It's been long time, I haven't written anything for this blog. I thought about writing many times. However, I was busy running rat race in same old copy job.

There were times when I was having so much fun that I literally had no time. I miss those friends and those special moments, I miss singing songs loudly with them. I miss traveling 6km each day just for a cup of coffee. I miss watching late night TV. I miss playing computer games the whole night. I miss watching 30 movies a week. I miss roaming in rains. I miss pushing flat tire bike at 12am on jungle road that has not a single street light. I miss making fake telephone calls to my friends. Those were the happiest days of my life. They made my life a real heaven. Even after I started my job everyday was like a week-end, though I was working a lot. I really miss those days …………..

Now, I started to forget birthdates and anniversaries of friends and family. I forget them to say hello for days, months and years. I don’t know “Am I on the right track” Or “was it worth it

Looking back I see myself as different person. A person who is running so fast that he sometimes forgets to breath or even smile. I don’t know whether I am getting busy living or I am getting busy dying. I started to follow just one rule –

Get busy living or get busy dying
                                              - Stephen King

I don’t know whether living is about finding an answer to same old question – If today were last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? Or is about taking your life the way it takes you. Certainly, I will choose the former one because may be answer to the question is way back to my old life. Thus, I will keep trying until my success defines the rule for me.

Congrats for breaking your self-imposed exile of 4 months.

Welcome back!

Good that you finally realized (or should I say confess) that you were having great time when you were listening to your heart!

But, seriously, but you were happy only when you let your life go its way (i.e., taking your life the way it takes you).

And, what is this, you think, "if today were last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today". Arre yaar, you only used to say you had signed a contract of 70 years with the Almighty, and I don't think you are near that age, so don't think you will die today :)
