...all that remains is memory

Sob pakhi ghorey pherey, sob nodi
Phurai e jiboner sob len-den
Thakey sudhu 'remember'.
Poem in Bengali by Jibananda Das, slightly modified by me.

Whatever you do in life - see beautiful places, enjoy nice food, do something good - all that remains is only memory, nothing else.
Past is gone, future I have not seen, present is elusive - it is always slipping into past. Time is always moving forward. In life, there is only play and stop buttons, no rewind button.
The world is full of mystery. We know only very little about it.
Compared to the size of the universe we are miniscule, almost non-existent.
Our life is like a bubble which bursts almost as soon as it is formed. The universe has existed for billions of years and will last for billions of years more. Compared to this our life is like a bubble.
We live roughly about 60 yrs out of which we sleep for 60 yrs!
