I am sure there was 'no time' before 'time' and there will be 'nothing' after 'time'. So where are we with or without time. Good question.
If we exist, it is with reference to time. Without time, we don't exist. So when precisely my time travel started? When were we born and what precisely did we do and how long will we live before we die. In other words, when will our time be up. We seem to live in the bosom of time and not the other way round. Time dictates everything about our existence. How long will it be from conception to the time we are born? It is the moment when time itself is conceived alongside each of us. Is it a measure of some sort or is it not? Most of us seem to think that time is a measure made of seconds, minutes, hours and so on.
I think not. In my opinion time simply follows us in this world. It facilitates an entire set of apparently very simple but extremely complicated protocols to make it possible for us to journey through the gateway into this world -- from some other. It stays with us whether we stay with it or not and follows us again into the next.
Think.
I have lost a lot of my published and unpublished work over the years to diaries, computer hard drives and, lately, to memory sticks. It seems only appropriate to find a home for my work on the world wide web for friends to see where was I going with my thoughts, when I am finally gone! You will see some samples of my shairi as well. -- A. Salahuddin
