Coming back from a Nice game of Squash with Younger Bro at One of Our Childhood Favourite Hangouts- NSCI – National Sports Club of India - One cant help but go down the memory lanes.. when as Kids we use to frequent this place a lot with Family, Dad being one of the earlier members fo this Iconic Club..Though none of us in the family had any serious inclination towards sports or any such activity that leaves the body exhausted & depleted, but NSCI was different.... As Kids, what used to attract us were the Huge Open Spaces in the Club..The huge Parking Space, Tennis Court lawns and a Gigantic Family Restaurant room.... The atmosphere at a Club is quite different from that of Hotels or Fine Dining Restaurant. There is some sort of aristocracy associated with the Clubs, thanks to the Popularisation of the Club Culture by the British
The Dining room at the Club would offer an almost picturesque view of the beautiful garden outside, serene &so beautiful..There was a TV section in the Dining Room, which was a small 3 step depression, where massive 15 seater Sofa was placed.... We would run from one end of the Dining Room & in an almost Filmy action sequence , just jump down on the sofa sets ...... and not just once , we would keep doing it 4-5 times, till the time, One of Managers would just smilingly grab us by hand & drop us in the custody of our already harassed parents
Vow... The memories are still fresh of those days... When Life was all about Living in that days, That moment...The only thought occupying the mind was that moment, that day.....how to make the most of it ? How to have maximum fun ? How to enjoy to the hilt ? And not having thoughts of planning for the Future, 3 year plans – Family Plan, 5 year Plan , and that too without any control over the present.....The biggest worries in Life , those days was not being able to complete the Homework, or being sidelined by the group of friends...or being made too much fun of by friends and planning how to handle it .....Too much stress to Handle, Is it ?
If we do a quick rewind in time, & try & find out, there will probably be very few moments in life , which clearly stand out in Memory ---very clearly remembered.....& evoke a feeling of having just happened in your memories.
The day you Scored Highest Marks, The day you topped Your exam. The first day of College, The First Date, the first Kiss, Your First day at Job, Day of Promotion at job, Your marriage, Childs Birth, Childs B’day ....so an & so Forth.......Keep counting, there will be few & far in between ,and you will realise that these small moments take a while in coming – Obviously between your Marriage & first child, there will be a good 2-3 years.....
Instead of waiting, why not create those moments in Life ....... Going for a Long drive just with your Dad and remembering Old times, Fulfilling your Moms Long desire of Singing, Going with your Parents for a small vacation every 8-10 months
These are the Moments, when one recollects, will give far greater happiness & pleasure, than those that just happen in Life .. Because Creation of a Moment is always more momentous than just waiting for the Moment to Happen
So go Out & Create Your own...Happy Living
