Now baby... Now.........

Living the "Now"

A set of lines from Shakespeare goes like this:

Thou hast nor youth nor age,
But, as it were, an after-dinner's sleep,
Dreaming on both

Wow... What magical lines these are !!!
The point that has been explained in these lines is that most human beings do not live in the present... Its just like dialogue from "Rang De Basanti" that Amir says about present.. If you remember,, one foot in past... the other in future.. thats why pissing on present...

Anyways, these lines from shakespeare, as interpreted:

These are intensly thought upon lines. "Thou hast nor youth nor age" ... In this line,, he says we neither have our youth.. nor old age... Coz.. when we are young, most of our time is spent thinking about what we have to do in the future.. Building a great bunglow.. owning a benz.. or audi.. or in case you have these two, then owning a Maybach... getting ourselves a good career... marrying to a great human who has the qualities of hundred people embedded in him/her... and the list goes on.. So, the point is that a good amount of time in spent in thinking about.. doing for... the "FUTURE"...

Then comes the old age... We loose the strenght n inherit a lot of illnesses related to old age and then we look back at what all we did in our past.. n try to relish from that... So, when we reach the old age.. mostly we "DREAM" about what all accomplishments have been done by us in our past....

Then comes.. "But, as it were, an after-dinner's sleep, Dreaming on both"

So, when we are young, we dream about future and what we gonna do in the future .. n when we reach old age we dream about the past.. Where the hell did "PRESENT" vanish.. It has been compared to an after dinner sleep..
where "events of morning are mixed with the design of evening"...
