SEIZE THE MOMENT! | Podcast #5 by Neha's Notebook

Do you remember the fresh chemical smell of new set of books and notebooks we used to buy at the start of a new session in school? Or do you remember the summer vacation breakfasts while watching the series of Oswald, Noddy, Hatim and Bob The Builder? Do you remember playing with your neighbourhood friends or do you remember dancing at the tunes of Kisi Disco Mein Jaayein? Do you remember mom-dad returning from the grocery market and bringing a packet for you? Do you remember reading graphic story books while hiding them with school’s textbooks?

 

Those childhood days are long gone. All we are left with is a faint memory of these days. The moment arrived, we seized the moment, we lived it to the fullest, and then they were whoosh! gone.

 

Time and moments are just like this. If you spend too much time in thinking, the time is spent but the moments won’t come again. The time is also spent when you fully seize the moment, but this time, its memory causes us to bubble with bliss rather than thinking that we should have seized that moment.

 

It is easy to look back

and love the memory

To look further

and fantasize a new one

 

Don’t look back

at the past

Don’t look further

into the future

Seize this moment

to the fullest,

right now, right here.

 

Don’t be the beggar

holding onto scraps

of memories, happy or mild

or begging for some,

just live the adventure

walk right through the

thick of the wild

Don’t be an adult

melancholous at the loss

Neither be a toddler

ignorant of the mud of the wild

Just seize this moment

like a wonder-filled child!

 

Seize this moment.

Pay attention. Be wild.

 

‘cause when this passes away

you’re going to want to

seize it anyway

so do it now,

don’t look back, don’t look further,

just be here, seize this moment

Seize it like a fresh adventure and just be wild!
