Budapest part 2....tomorrow.....

Yesterday, watched this program on television which was the story of this highly ambitious woman who cd not spare any time from her busy schedule to indulge in life's pleasures since it was always ''we can do it later...when we hv earned enough money and have enough time''. Suddenly when she feels that she has earned enough money and that she has achieved her dream, she is diagnised with cancer and she is told that she just has 20% chance of living.That's when she tells her husband '' Why do we always postphone all the stuff that we want to do. We always feel that we will have enough time in the future to do all the suff that we enjoy and suddenly one day we realise that life has passed us by and we dont have time anymore''.Its such a profound statement from which, I guess, all of us should learn. We just allow life to pass us and forget to enjoy the small pleasures thinking that some big pleasure is waiting for us somewhere.....but is there anything like ''Future''.....its so abstract and we forget abt the present moments and live for that ....isn't it sad.....I know its not a revelation, but hearing it reallly made me think abt everything that I have always wante dto do, but hv postphoned due to time pressures, laziness, etc etc. But now, I have decided, I will do everything that I want to do......thinking that I may come under a bus tomorrow.
