TIME PLEASE!

I am sorry. Please DON’T tear this letter away! Read it once.

I was so.. so… ignorant about  you when you were around. Being an aimless dork, having a neat composition of mass & minute amount of energy, I wasted you in copious amounts. That you would be with me and available to me each time and every time was so, by nature, obvious that I simply took you for granted. I, unknowingly, under the influence of and sheer admiration towards ‘LEISURE’ devaluated you.

I, You and LEISURE together have experienced great moments of happiness & bliss; we cared a damn about anything. We were a nice company all the while. Do you remember those moments when you would accompany me to my college? Even BOREDOM accompanied us many-a-time. And how my college friends would try to cast off BOREDOM from all of us! BOREDOM had no other option and had to goodbye us forever.

I hope you remember those awesome days we spent together when I was supposed to study for the upcoming exams. And how fascinated we were when all three of us met SLEEP for the first time! And SLEEP would visit us quite often those days. I remember LEISURE getting really ‘close’ to SLEEP famously. LEISURE was on a date spree with SLEEP, REVERIE and DAYDREAMS. I can’t even dare to forget the awesome time we had on the bed, each time and every time. We indulged in one another. We would watch the repeat telecast of Wimbledon matches in the morning. Then, SLEEP would depart us for a brief period and join us again for the siesta. AMAZING DAYS, man!

We would watch movies all day and deliberately keep SLEEP waiting and wanting for us. After movies, we would worry about the possibility of SLEEP leaving us forever. But, SLEEP, being the nicest soul amongst us, would forget about the harsh treatment given by us and would embrace us immediately. We all made a nice little group. The only annoying part was that LEISURE would manage to be with us only during the May vacation and the Diwali holidays. I always considered you to be my best mate. You made yourself ever available for me. Through thick and thin.

But, the course of the recent days has changed a bit. We don’t quite meet each other as often. SLEEP meets me at night, but without you and LEISURE, our meet is not really a meet. SLEEP has become my want now. Also, BOREDOM has been troubling me since a few days. BOREDOM has realized that I am unable to meet my friends quite often. My WORK keeps me busy the whole day. Travelling, I hear, is BOREDOM’s best friend. The worst part of BOREDOM being around is that it brings a lot of bad company along with it. Like FRUSTRATION & ANGER.

And your absence from my life has made my living all the more painstaking. Please, make yourself available for me. I need you more than anything else. Your absence has automatically created an unwarranted gap between me and LEISURE. And you need to bridge that gap soon. We all can get together big time and start living together again. My work life will not allow us to enjoy the way we did in the past, but at least we can get it all started. Please don’t ask me to quit my work and all. Don’t let the BEST hamper the better. PLEASE, COME BACK SOON and make YOURSELF AVAILABLE.

-          To,

My Dear TIME.
