Learning Time Management From These Bombadilians

For the last couple of days, Mousumi and I have been interviewing our young authors from different parts of the world. These authors, against the popular perception about youth, have mastered the skill of time management. They are not just authors; they lead multiple roles. Shabana Rashid Diya, a twenty year old journalism student from Dhaka, Bangladesh is not just academically excellent but also a budding photo journalist whose photographs have been appreciated in various international exhibitions. She is also a contributing member of 'The Rising Star' the most circulated English daily in Bangladesh. And the list doesn't end here: She writes monologues, plays a critique of music and the everyday issues, voices the needs of those around her, leads social activist groups and teaches young children to dream. When asked how she manages to do all these things and still manages to continue her studies. In the answer she told me that she had been practicing time management for past ten years. Diya is now working on her second book - With A Price Tag - that rediscovers the rejuvenation of a lost identity in a young girl at modern society during troubled times.

Meet our another author Dipanway Maitra, a 19 year old poet, essayist,from Kolkata. He dropped Engineering just to follow his dream: World's Literature. He is an epic poet, essayist, elocutionist, thinker, painter. And what else? He is a professional Kick Boxer. He has already played for national team and aspires to be a world known player. His soft voice contradicts to what he is and does. At present, he is working on epic poetry and has completed the manuscript. But there is no stop: the next project is already taking shape in his mind.
These youngsters are highly passionate about what they do and they know how to do it.
They respect time and utilize every single moment.
"Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be done if we are always doing."
