"Time and Passion"

I remember when I had loads and loads of time, plenty and surplus. I had no idea what to do with it...

Now I want to do so much of stuff and I need to do so much of stuff and I know how to do it but all that I don't have is "time"...

It's running, running like some predator is behind it, trying to catch it. Running like some last train to final destination is going to leave the platform, running like the only thing it has ever known is running... actually it has... or, may be not... no doubt time knows to go forward, it always has known it, (I don't have a sound knowledge of time and space continuum though) but sometimes it runs, and sometimes it stays... no not stays... flows, like a river, already reached the ocean just the formality of touching those salty water, is left...

Time is strange and defiant... very defiant... never would let us have the pleasure of being in it... Do you understand? 'Being in Time'...

I admired my father always... for being so sincere and so punctual, I used to think that, punctuality is the source of success, "being in time" is the root cause of every big achievement...

But my concept was challenged and got changed... one day I was on the stage, in the auditorium of UPRIMS N R (now UPUMS) in front of "the jury" during RIMS IDOL session, and they asked me, what is most important? Punctuality, Sincerity or Dedication?... I fumbled first, and as I was used to have all my faith in "punctuality" I answered wrong... But what I gained from that wrong answer is a lesson... 

Dedication is the most valuable asset among the three, sincerity and punctuality comes with it...

So I'm not dedicated to my goal!! But then I'm never punctual, I've never been punctual... Am I not dedicated to anything?? I think it can be a possibility, I've seen people with no passion, nothing is there for them to give their whole hearted attention to... Am I that person too?? I can't be... 

Why I ended up here? How did this happen that I still haven't discovered my passion??

Would I ever? I hope I would...

I would have answered it wrong too as I thought sincerity is the key. 😲

Hmm... I did not realize I was wrong until one of the jury asked me to explain why I think punctuality is necessary, and then while I was answering I myself corrected myself and said no mam, dedication is necessary as with it comes sincerity and with sincerity comes punctuality...

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more...

Sometimes you seem like an illusion that my brain has designed, unreal, imaginary… how can I like someone this much, without never ever prop...
