*"I Have No Time”*
A 12 hour journey has now shrunk to 4 hours,
Yet the man says – *no time* .
A family of 12 is now just 2,
Yet the man says – *no time* .
A communication that once took 2 weeks now takes 2 seconds,
Yet the man says – *no time.*
Once it took years to see the face of a distant person, which appears now in seconds – Yet the man says – *no time.*
The time and effort it took to move around the house, now ends in seconds with a lift, Yet the man says – *no time.*
The man who once stood in bank queues for hours, now completes transactions in seconds on his mobile, Yet the man says – *no time.*
Medical test reports that once took weeks, now happens in a few hours, Yet the man says – *no time.*
---
*Everyday Ironies*
While riding an Activa, one hand on the handle, the other on the phone – because he doesn’t have time to stop and talk – *no time.*
While driving a car, one hand on the steering, the other on WhatsApp – because he has *no time* .
In a traffic jam, he jumps lanes to create a new one. Because he has *no time* .
Among friends and company, his fingers are busy on the phone, because he has to be somewhere – *no time* .
When alone, he is relaxed.
But becomes restless in the presence of others – Because he has *no time.*
---
*What He Has No Time For*
*No time* to read books
*No time* to call parents
*No time* to meet a friend
*No time* to enjoy nature
*No time* for family
*No time* to eat
*No time* to sleep
---
*But He Has Time For…*
IPL
Netflix
Pointless reels
Debating politics
*Yet no time for himself!*
---
*The Reality*
The world became simpler,
Technology came closer,
Distances disappeared,
Comforts increased,
Opportunities grew…
Yet man kept saying *no time* — and drifted away from himself.
---
*What We Forget*
To sit silently
To speak with oneself
To understand oneself
To laugh for a few pure moments
But he can't since – *no time* .
---
*The Final Truth*
One day, time itself slips away.
In that final moment, he realizes:
> “There was time, but I kept saying *no time* … and forgot to live.”
---
*The Message*
Keep a little time for yourself
Give a little time to relationships
Live a little for your heart, peace, and essence of life
Because *no time* is not the truth… it’s just a habit. And it needs to change...

You are right, this hits hard because it’s exactly how life feels now.
