Lost time

"Time waits for no one".

We all say this so many times in our life with a philosophers look on our face. Our whole existence is on this 24 hour watch called time.
Once i met , an old school friend after years. The conversation was more about what we used to do than what we could have in common today. I did not have an heart to tell my friend that we both had moved in different directions in our life and our thinking was completely on different levels. The truth is that there is very little which we find in common with people if we are not in touch with them for some time.  We keep adapting and changing with situations in our life. When i was young i loved reading fiction, david baldacci and james paterson were my favorite, today i cannot read more than a few pages of the same authors and just put the book down. Have i changed? Or is it my likes have changed with time.
Do i call the time i read these books my lost time? As i could have done better with my time or is it my growing up with time?
I love watching TV, but i cannot watch everything that comes on it. Probably a movie or one tv show which i might like for some time. Never a matter of life or death for any movie or show. If i am in a shut brain mode i will watch it otherwise it changes nothing for me. Now am i wasting my time? As i can do something more productive with my time. Do i want to excel or am i happy with this moment. For some i am losing time while for me i am in the moment. What is ok with me probably is not for someone else.
So do i regret this later or i have an epitabh which says no regrets?
These are the questions which hit us at times when we take the journey within. What i am doing today, what i did yesterday and what i am capable of doing.
Time is fluid, its the same which it was yesterday, what it is today and what it will be tomorrow. As the saying goes even the broken watch shows correct time twice in a day.
