Life @ full throttle

There are fast moving trains, aeroplanes, fighter jets, space rockets and then there is my life. Past few months have been packed to such an extent that at times, I literally had to check my calendar before planning anything.
I always see a true reflection of my life in the system which our society has adopted. I always have a long list of things to do and almost all the time, I miss all the items which I prioritize. So, it was quite a fulfilling experience when I did most of them which I had prioritized in past 4 months or so. I have been an excellent planner and a pathetic implementer and I have no qualms in accepting that I always end up doing worthless things which eat up major chunk of my time. However, this time around life has forced me to do only the most important things and compelled me to ignore the worthless items which I wanted to do.
It was like a fight-for-survival kind of situation. If someone hits your eye, your brain doesn't think about poetry or the latest SRK movie, all it thinks is to close the eye with a hand to minimize the impact. Well, imagine such Mind-Eye-Coordination going on for a month or so and sometimes I had to stop to catch a breath and I would be lying if I deny that I loved every second of it. Life is still in top gear if not at top speed but am staring hard down at the earth, panting and slowly but surely murmering, Let's do it again!!
