I actually started writing this 2 months back, but today when I suddenly came across this in my drafts, I can see it is as relevant today as it was at that time. I am currently in a city, where not many people of my age enjoy being. Modes of entertainment are practically non-existent. And all we do out here is crib about how happy we were in other places, and how happy we would be once we leave this place.
But, in life we really do not have the option of going back to the past, or fast forwarding our lives to our imaginary future. We have to live the course of life, experience the present and move forward. The lesser we get attached to the present, the easier it would be to let go of past, and not worry about the future.
I hear my colleagues say that they miss their old friends. And I want to tell them, yes sure! you should miss them, but why are you depriving yourself from making new and may be better friends here. That constant thirst for getting something more than we have today, makes our today look so much worse than it actually is.
That's why they say, "In retrospect, everything seems much better than it was at that time".
But what I want to feel now is a perfect present, that would look as great, when I think of it in the future as it is now. And if it not that so perfect, atleast I can perceive it to be and let my self be happy and just live each moment as best as I can !!!

This is human nature to repent for time lost in past, to dream abu future, and crib about present.. and in this process we are not able to enjoy any of it..
Past : as we think we could have done this-that , which we missed and hence cant enjoy memories of past..
Future: as we have such high hopes from future it is very difficult these are met and hence fun of enjoying it is lost..
Present: in all the cribbing we ignore all the fun that we can take out of the situation, which we repent later on.. ..
Hope u dont do that :)
@Divay: thanks for your comment! I wish that u don't do that as well :)
