It was one of those sad days' when you are irritated for no reason at all . When you are dejected, dissapointed , depressed for no reason whatsoever .And that very day I was reminded of the date - 24th May 2007.
I keep going back to this date as it changed ...it changed me and my life forever. First time I was seeing death so closely...And I realized ...since the time we are born , we grow ...this is one fact but there is one more fact - we move an inch closer to death . When I saw her ....her dead body ....I knew she was not listening to my cries still I could not comprehend that she was actually not listening to me .She was not feeling anything and perhaps then the enormity of the situation dawned upon me.I don't think I can ever come out from that time and space of experience.
Much before that I had experienced earthquake - a massive one and that day too I thought -Today I was lucky but I would not be always so ....like many other who were not so lucky on that day ....there might be a day when I would not be lucky.
Later in the life I experienced bus accident . The jolt was enormous in its impact but once again nothing happened to me ....
Each time I realized how close death can be ....how easily life can go ....JUST LIKE THAT .
A strange feeling it is ....
And on all of these occassions I pondered what if it would have been 'me' .Am I not very small ....just an iota of existence ? .A life that wants to be of some consequence ...has some purpose ....What if opportunity never comes my way .And I too die ....JUST LIKE THAT
Anything can happen at any point of time and I have to steal time to live the small life that I have been blessed with. I am racing against time and despite all these hurriedness I have to maintain my sanity, calmness , composure and dignity of life ...of thought . A thought of hope and optimism...of being given the time and opportunity to do what I want and give some meaning to life ....Will I be ????
A strange feeling it is !!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved the post..yes, death is sitting in a corner n we r only lucky till our paths do not cross that corner...How long will we escape?
Everything bcums meaningless for a while and you start questioning abt the essence of life. But a strange n i thnk the happy part is how life moves on? Even if you think you have lost everything, life will give u a reason to survive!
