Is life much faster than before?

Do you think life is much faster now even though we have all the facilities. My life is on a run, sometimes I even don’t get time to talk to people and sometimes it gets crazy busy with parties.

Is life much faster than before?

I’m just lazy and people think I’m ignoring them or don’t wanna speak :naraz.

Re: Is life much faster than before?

It definitely is much faster. The facilities we have might play a part in it, but in general I think people are just less patient than they used to be. That creates a constant atmosphere of having to do everything quickly regardless of whether you are talking about the business world or the private life.

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Apart from some of the reasons listed above, here is another take on it.

If you think about it mathematically, time does move faster as you grow older. When we were young, summer break seemed to last forever. That is because when you were 9, 10, or 11 years old 2-3 months of summer break would be a larger proportion of your entire life. Whereas now, days, months, and years, are all a smaller proprotion of your entire life.

I still haven’t figured out though why time moves slower at the beach. It’s like one hour on the beach feels like 4 normal hours :hmmm:

i believe in this she’r:
**
umr-e-daraaz maang kar laaye the chaar din
do aarzoo meN kaT gaye, do intizaar meN!**

if Zafar was alive today and he was about to write this she’r, he would have certainly thought of the fast-paced life that is prevalent in this day and age would have written this she’r THIS WAY!:
**
umr-e-daraaz maang kar laaye the 7 din
2 weekend pe kaT gaye, 5 iske intizaar meN!**

our lives today revolves around weekends. we wait for it over 5 days and then these two days pass in an the blink of an eye!

weekend ke 2 dinoN part “HAA HAA, HOO HOO” ke liye 5 din “HAAYE HAAYE” kar ke guzaarte haiN!!! :smiley: :cb: :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Is life much faster than before?

What might be the reason behind it? We have gotten ourselves into too many things in very less time.

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Looks like too many responsibilities in too less time , for beach take kids with you and I betcha you will say where did the time flies :smiley:

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Nice interpretation of zafar’s shair :smiley: i am gonna steal it. I love it, but you know sometimes you don’t get time on weekends too.

What kind of a question is this? Of course. Usain Bolt just smashed thru the 100 200 m records. Ishant Sharma’ s deliveries Bolt past batsmen.

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Instant gratification has definitely made life’s pace speed up. Think about it…most everything is just a click away..online shopping…auto bill pay…online banking…and like Umer said, the lack of patience is there…in the professional world, private world..with adults and kids alike

Re: Is life much faster than before?

yeah it feels that way…don’t know why. :frowning:

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Time slows down in Fez (Morocco) though. People of that city are blessed I must say.

Re: Is life much faster than before?

I wish life would slow down, I always feel under pressure to do something or be somewhere!

Re: Is life much faster than before?

I have 2 assignments due in a couple f days and a 3rd a few days after. TIME?, I need more!

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Are you loving the whooshing noises?

Re: Is life much faster than before?

Yes, under pressure, I do get this sense of buzz and get so much done. I think I’m slightly weird in that regard.

Re: Is life much faster than before?

weird is wonderful.

Even earthworms in Doha move much faster than they used to.
