Which activities make you lose track of time?

Time, time, time , why are you such a slippery dramatis personae. The more I try to run behind you, the more you slip like sand under the fingers of my hand .

Will I be able to set back the hands of my Grandpa clock and go back in those times when my grandparents, and my parents were all alive .And I was a carefree child without a worry . Could not keep track of that time and that time sneaked off my shoulders and I was caught napping and now none of my efforts and entreaties will get back the time I lost to keep track of.

Will I be able to track the time of the clock which my baba ( my Father ) so religiously would caliber the large mechanical Marvel called clock . And go back to my school hey days when only mauj masti ( fun and frolic)was the only anthem I knew.

Will I be able to stop the time of my citizen gold hand wrist watch and go back and enjoy my only son childhood. Be with him when he took the first step, when he had his first tooth protruding out, when for the first time, he said Aai ( mother) . I want to lose track of time reliving all these beautiful moments of my child’s life which I lost due to work and other commitments.

I lost track of time for the last 48 years doing all inane routine things and forgot to appreciate all the good things I have . In our busy lives, we are often on an autopilot , we get lost in the doing at the expense of being.
