The Moments Best Captured


Dictionary definition of moment is a brief, indefinite interval of time. Everybody has moments in his or her life. Some call them good while some call them bad and most of us call them mixed. A moment is good when we remember it throughout our lifetime and we want to go back in it each and every time we remember it. It might be old school days or college days or the innocent days of childhood where there was wit, humour and fun or that moment when we achieved something like winning some competition or cracking some entrance test. Sometimes the fragrance of a place or the music of some song makes us travel back into time, the time when the grandfather used to lift us on his shoulders. We want to travel back in that moment because there are no more shoulders to lift us. That moment wont ever come back again in our life. A mother capturing the essence of each and every moment she spent with her child, those moments when she hugged him/her, the day she held that child in her hands for the first time or the day that child first time called her "Mom or Maa". A shattered dream is like the mother who lost her child. We always want to go back in that moment in which we lived for our dream or doing the best possible ways to make it happen. That dream which was the part of our life, that dream which gave us the reason to live, that dream which provided us the direction to move ahead in life, that dream with which we have attached emotional value someday goes away. telling us that I (dream) is beyond your reach. The moments which were best captured living with that dream become like those moments when an orphan child misses his/her parents. He knows that his parents wont ever come back into his life but still he wants to go back in those moments best captured by him when he was with them. "That" day when a mother lost his child or "that" day when the child lost his parents or "that" day when the dream gets shattered become the sad moments in our lives. The child or parents or dream becomes faded and there is no point living for them again in life because LIFE is only granted once by God. We might  move on with life but the time spent by mother with her child who is no more in this world now, or by an orphan with his parents or that time which we spent realizing our dream becomes The Moments Best Captured.
