A Dying Old Man

I read somewhere that the worst moment is that when a person , taking his last breath, remorses about the lost opputunities he let go, the good relation turned sour and the dreams remained unrealised.
Year 2005 must be thinking something like that. Today , is the last day of 2005. Now 2005 would appear only in the past references. It can never be the Present, the all powerful Present again. One can only feel happiness and sorrows about the past. And one can only think about how the future will be. But what is certain and tangible is the Present. We can make our past and future only through Present. That's why the allpowerful Present.
I am not having any specific compunctions today other than some thoughts about the better ways in which i could have handled my studies, my office and my relations. Yes, i could have made a better usage of my time if i try to go as per the time table i made almost everyday and which i lost track off almost everyday. Had i done so, i would have made my old man "2005" dying peacefully.

Yours Mournfully,
Pankaj
