There's no time like the present.

"Time is an illusion" - Albert Einstein.

Our dear comrade, Albert could not have expressed this thought any better than I could have licked a bowl of fresh cream, clean. Everyday, every thought we have, move we make, decision we take seems to be going by quicker and quicker like a hungry man at a buffet.

"Where is the time?!" - I ask myself this question too frequently for my liking. There's so much I want to do, so many ideas and thoughts to share, to do lists to complete, deadlines to meet, goals to achieve and people to please yet time is the only thing that's getting in my way!

Recently, while caught up in the mayhem of my life, I got a chance to take a "Kit-Kat" break and go shopping (my fav!) for a birthday gift for a dear friend. Having managed to find an ultra cool hourglass was great but it was the message on the box that got me truly inspired. 

It went as follows:

"A person that dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." "Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time". "I am becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is, the refinement of your soul through time". "You're writing the story of your life one moment at a time". "Opportunity knocks at the strangest times. Its not the time that matters, but how you answer the door". "When we are doing what we love, we don't care about time. For at that moment time does not exist and we are truly free". "A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water". "Time spent laughing, is time spent with the Gods". "Time is the subtle thief of youth". "Lost time is never found again". "May you always live in interesting times". "Regret for wasted time, is more wasted time". "Whether it is the best of times or the worst of times, it is the only time we've got". "The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time". "Time is free, but it is priceless, you cannot own it, but you can use it". "Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time". "Time is what we want most, but use the worst". "Time has a wonderful way of weeding out the trivial". "The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness; and know that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream." "He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all time." "There's a time for everything." 

Yes, that is just a few definitions of time. Defining the meaning of love might just be simpler but alas, the one thing that I have realized is that the faster we run to beat time, the further back we go. Time waits for no man and no man should wait for time. Don't let time define your actions, let your actions define your time.

After all, time is just an illusion...

The Difference Between "A Couple" and "Just Friends"...

"It is the distance between us that makes a difference"

Bring back the polaroid.

There's just something about it. The white border? The spontaneity that it captures? The instantaneous development?

Captured this in a restaurant a while back. Love!

I love polaroids! They always seem to make the moment it captured even more fun.

The Month in Covers - March 2012

March is all about you! Career, personal life, getting fit, dealing with stress, becoming a superhero! but most importantly... it's about celebrating the person that you are.


I fondly remember, reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne a while back when I just started figuring out that I need not only a plan for my future but directions to get there. Her book is based on the philosophy of "Ask. Believe. Receive." and its just as simple as that! Put out what you want to the Universe, believing that you truly deserve it and eventually after much persuasion (just like how we did it when we wanted something from our parents when we were little), you shall receive it. Be warned: It may not be all at once or overnight but eventually if you work hard enough to let the Universe know how much you desire it, it will come to you. I'm not not talking materialistic stuff only: start believing that you're destined for something better if you are down and out now. Believe that you can get over a fear if you are feeling scared. Believe that you can do it when someone says you can't. Just believe.  


According to Rhonda's next book, The Power, "The life of your dreams has always been closer to you than you realized, because The Power - to have everything good in life - is inside you."

Thus, if you haven't had the courage or just too shy or scared, use this month to start something new. Be bold. Be bright. Be beautiful. Be the person inside...
