There is a question I fear to answer. I just don't know that how does one answer to such a query. You have different priorities at different times. And, every day is a different day. Then, how am I suppose to answer that question with surety? With every tick that minute-hand makes, I am having different priorities. Like just now, all I have in mind was to make a post on writer-babu. But, now that I have made some post, I have a thesis to write for my Masters. And, a little later, when I would have delivered a presentation, all I could think of would be about my job and career. On the contrary, half an year back, all I had over my mind was to see "her" smile. So, how do I judge my priorities over a time span of a life?
Anyways, it's time for you people to know what is the question I am talking about. Before you guys go answering, please note that I am not talking about how to live life right now. I fully understand the term "Zindagi na milegi dobara". What I wish to know is how people measure their priorities.
So here it goes: What would you do if you were to die tomorrow and how did you decide that?
Comments welcome.

But, I am happy to know that the query is intriguing. People, please participate. :)
PS: And, yeah, I am climbing soon into the user score ratings. Just wait, Srijan.
So finally the solution is to maintain a routine. Daily routine. I have said enough about the bigger priorities. So to solve the smaller ones, have a routine. Things won't bother much. Keep aside some time for hobbies.
And ya climb up the rankings, m soon going to improve the system for good ... it will include things like comment too...
If you fulfill your responsibilities towards yourself then other two are already fulfilled. You have to earn for your living. That should be primary. Without that whatever you do you will have tough time keeping yourself happy. Even 'She' wont smile if you are not good to yourself. You should think in long terms because zindagi na milegi doobara is right but its a long long life. Decisions you make today will live with you for 50 more years. Live long dear friend.
There is an old saying, which clearly prioritize things... character, health and then money. You never need to try so hard to make her happy. If she likes you its good in any situation and if she don't, trying will make it worse. So to make it a priority to make her smile should come after doing well yourself. Okay?
Then about the small things. Doing an assignment verses writing a post on writerbabu totally depends what will make you more focused if you do it first. If you have a strong urge to express yourself then you wont be able to focus on assignment and vice versa. To manage time should be the highest priority of daily life. If you can mange life then you can do most of the things well and keep you mind free of regret of missing out something.
So the key here is to do whatever you are doing giving your 100 percent so that it takes lesser time and is done perfectly and that will give you happiness too.
We live for happiness and according to me happiness is just a journey and not a destination. If you are doing everything you do with dedication you will be happy. No work you do is small and should be of lesser priority in daily life. Even if take bath giving your 100 percent, you will feel a change, a good feeling. No work is small and just like ocean is made of of drops, we are made up of these small things.
And your priorites don't change your desires change. See, not doing which thing will cause you more pain in long term. And think in long term, because time is flowing and i believe you have that intellect to judge the consequences in long term. Infact these consequences are pretty trivial and obvious. Skipping a meal will have a bad impact on you heath but we skip it , even thought it would have took just 10 minutues.
I hope i have confused you enough to not ask such questions again ... :P
and keep writing :)
