Hi!

You are now viewing Tashfeen's profile on Wiki.

Its been quite some time i posted anything. so, nothing particular as yet but yes, a thought on time is worth a thought. we think for a moment n that moment is gone...so, give your views on time and its limits. if it has limits what was its lower limit, i.e. starting point. there is lot of thinking and research going on on time, its attributes and so may other aspects of what we call time.

give a thought, and dont give it too much a thought cos whatever we do, or even if we dont do anything, time just tick-ticks by....

so, focus on what u love doing............. and enjoy
