Concept of Time (Part-1)

HOW do we perceive TIME?
"Time" is something that all of us measure in our watches.Concept of time is so basic to our consciousness that even a three year old child uses Time in his daily life without any problem.All our social activities,from trains to offices to cinema shows- just every thing! -are performed according to a time table.Keeping track of Time is so important that every body ties a wrist watch in hand to know Time anytime.
But if we ask ourselves to define Time, or to explain in words that "What this Time actually is!" we will feel that we can't come up with any ready answer quickly.Even science books do not define the concept of Time well.In Physics it is accepted as a 'fundamental quantity'-but Physics does not discuss its concepts.Never-the-less, the entire Physics (which is the foundation of all Sciences) depends upon The Concept of Time for its description of Nature.Perhaps Time is such a basic concept in our mind that there is nothing more elementary to our consciousness than it.And perhaps that is why we are unable to define it properly.But here through this blog post I am going to begin a philosophical journey of examining the real meaning of time.
Please feel free to comment.
