When death comes....


The other day I was walking with a friend of mine from the university back to my house. As I was walking my friend was talking about how life has been unfair to him. Amidst all this I was thinking about something else. How does someone know when he is supposed to die. The moment I was thinking this, I happened to look down and I saw a lil bug on the ground. The moment I saw it I my brain sent a signal to my foot and I don't know why, but in that split second, instead of keeping my foot flat on the ground and over that bug, my foot landed on the outer sides of it and the bug happily walked away.

A couple of days later the same incidence was repeated. One of my colleagues walked over a bunch of black ants and the moment I saw that whole bunch, I jumped over them. These events forced me to think as to when does death come. Who decides when one dies. The bug and some of the ants were destined to die had it not been for me to see them.

It then struck me, they were not supposed to die that day. There is a higher power sitting up there somewhere, who is watching each and every living being in its every hour on earth and protecting it till the day it is supposed to die. Nothing can simply kill them if its not their time.

I simply don't know if this point was even worth thinking or moreover, worth mentioning on the blog. But I know one thing for sure. God grabs you by the wrist and directs you where to go, so make the best of this test and don't ask why. Its something unpredictable, but in the end its right. I hope have the time of your life. For what its worth, it was worth all the while.

spooky, it isnt just so unlikely that a post like this should land up in a blog. nobody knows anything about death. only the dead ones do, but then thats that. :)

but we know life :) we dont know whats in store for us, and where death is, and what's our direction, but life, the essence of it, we know it. its what you feel with the sun and the wind the rain and the feeling of hunger being satisfied, and sleep taking over, the exhiliration of "arriving" where you wanted to be, the pursuit of that exhiliration. bittersweet. :)

i guess death is a job in gods department, we have some things to do in life.

I hope to buy a balloon.....

The other day I was sitting in the open area in front of Pyramids, S.B. Road. It's a nice place to be in the evening with the brightly lit Pyramids Megastore in the front and the fountains besides spraying water on your face as the breeze carries them to you. It's a nice place to be after a hectic n frustrating day at work. Everything seemed perfect when I saw this little girl, "Gudiya", that's what I would like to call her. She was a very pretty girl of age 11 or 12 with a bunch of balloons in her hands. She was walking over to each person sitting around and asking if they would like to purchase a balloon from her. Everyone she went to, said no to purchase a balloon. As I was expecting, she came to me too; the moment she stood in front of me, my face lit up with a warm smile. Noticing this she thrust a balloon in my hand. She was smiling at me too when I purchased that balloon from her. As she happily hopped away to other people I looked at her and wondered how m...

The burning memories

The morning started with a bad news as the maid at our place came in rushing, as if considering herself a news reporter from "Aaj Tak" or "Zee News" to be the first one to bring the breaking news to the audience. She anounced that a huge fire had destroyed almost 40 hutsin a nearby locality. This came to me as a news to which I reacted in my mind "Big deal happens every other day" and left it where it was. As I got out of my building on my way to office, I observed a large croud gathered right in front of our building. Curious as to what was the "major attraction", I parked my bike alongside the road and crossed over. The sight that lay in front of me made me go week in my knees. At that moment it occured to me "It certainly is a big deal, as it doesn't happen every other day with these people". It was a case of a fire that had ripped through 40 huts prepared by the construction workers working in an alongside building, making them ...
