A scooter ride that I missed!

I remember this hilarious incident about my husband when we were in Jamshedpur. When children went off to another city for higher studies, it was just me and him, and he and myself, the only people in the house.

Oh! what a bore, when children are not around! Time seemed to have stopped. My husband would be content to sit with a book in his hand, which was like a curtain between us! What to do with my time was my problem.

One day, I told him to take me to my brother's house which was not very nearby, which means we had to take the scooter. He agreed and we went to our scooter. Well, he started the scooter but Oh! God! before I could perch on the pillion seat, he drove off!!. He went all the way to my brother's place without missing me and found I was not there only after reaching the destination. He came back and we two had a hearty laugh. I think it happens with aging husbands ;)

where does the time go??

Thinking what to write in the blog, the time flies and day goes by..
Looking at the plants and watering them and pulling out the weeds, the time flies and the day goes by..
Talking to friends over the phone, time flies and the day goes by..
Gossiping with friends who come home, the time flies and the day goes by..
Reading the e-mails and replying to it, the time flies and the day goes by..
Sending children to school, cooking and going for a walk time flies, the day goes by..
Reading something to fill the brain, sleep takes its turn and the day goes by..

I wonder now..
How to catch the time and let it not fly,
Do some solid work, give it a try,
Can anyone please tell me how before the day ends and says good-bye!!
