Catching up on Life!

This blog is not one of my food blogs, its for a friend who got me thinking.. I was as usual being chatty and my friend said he was on a road trip again.. and I was like you just came back..he seemed to be on a go all the time either a road trip.. or back packing or events where he met complete strangers and formed friendships that would last forever.. to which he very casually said, " Yeah I know!! you know what.. I am trying to catch up on Life!" his tone was casual, relaxed, but this statement meant a lot.. and I guess will mean a lot for anyone who has missed out being naughty at school..careless in university.. enjoyed the teenage in its true spirit..wore their hearts on the sleeve with fearless passion! I was quite intrigued by what he said and I asked him what he meant and what he said, and what he explained..is something I will never forget, he said, "When I looked back on my life and think what I did all those years.. the answer was nothing much really!! He felt a sudden pang to try and do something that made his life more interesting and enjoy every moment while he can... and that's what he called was catching up on life! He smiled and said, now when I grow old and think how did the time pass by, I will have a lot of pleasant memories to cherish!
  This got me thinking..how many of us give a serious thought and try to do something about our lives.. how many of us really give a chance to ourselves to catch up on life!
