Sub Sandwich!!!

Today we had a farewell lunch where people shared their best memories of a colleague.. how those days were the good old days! What a mistake, the good old days is made very much in the now, and the nows tomorrow seem precious and great – what’s happening today and now is the same thing that did years ago…the same coffees, the same lunches, the same arguments, the same window-shopping.. everything’s changed in the sense the acts are the same, even today, but while you were growing so did your dependencies and people around which were taking on different shapes…. How different is the now from the yesterday? It’s the same paper, the same stuff, again the same highs and lows of a relationship, a promotion, a day when the kids are darlings, a day when they aren’t really so, can go on and on. Point is, why then can’t we just live the now and be aware that this is a memory we are sculpting – again, am sure today and now even if we did not have enough money to make us feel comfortable and it seemed like you would want to actually punch the person’s nose who came and told you live the now.. still, I bet, years from now, you would think back and say those good old days when I was penniless, but still was happy…. See, we all know perfectly well what happiness Was, but not Is, only cos it just was there, but totally neglected as we were busy conjuring up those happy moments of the past and failing to pause and live the now. You are better off today in a sense than you would be tomorrow. Tomorrow you would be better off in a different sense than you were yesterday, but also at the same time worse off in a different sense again. So, today’s the Sub sandwich!! Ultimately, just like energy can only be transformed and the whole energy in the world will always remain constant, so also the equation will always end up getting balanced like those in inorganic chemistry.. which btw, was a subject I hated, except for the balancing equation bit!!
