Been thinking a lot lately about how lucky I am! What’s it that’s making me think!! Well, I am not in any mood to describe the events but to put it in a nutshell my really good friend’s fiance’ passed away in a freaky road accident. Their wedding was supposed to be in August. I am too hurt and angry to describe the events that led to her demise but this blog is not about that!I
All these events have taught me one important lesson. Be thankful for whatever you have. I have spent days brooding over small things. Unnecessary fights arguments with friends and other people. Now all that seems so trivial. How many days have we woken up and cribbed about how things never go right? I have had so many days when I have felt that the whole world has gone upside down. Why becoz someone said something? or maybe becoz someone did not listen to me? Jealousy, anger, hatred, all over issues which are not worth a penny!! I m writing this now coz it’s really hit me hard. We all would have experienced this feeling when we reminiscence about our past. Something that seemed so important in school seems funny in college and something that u brooded about for days in college seems trivial later. I have thought this too but brushed it aside saying yeah that’s what life is all about. But stop and think a minute. All this should have thought us a lesson. If it did not then think back again. Nothing in life is permanent and one my friends use to say “The only thing permanent in life is change”. So true right?
The point I am trying to drive across is live life like there’s no tomorrow. Make it a point to feel grateful for the mundane things in life. Someone who has been through this could maybe appreciate this lot better! But atleast give it a thought!!

The husband of someone I know of passed away recently in his sleep. Gone. Just like that, one fine morning - he had had episodes of epilepsy. And then I read about your friend's fiance. Things like that always put your life in perspective, don't they! We're so caught up in what's going to happen tomorrow, in a hurry to be elsewhere that we just do not take time to live in the present moment. What a shame!
i guess my recent post kind of adds on to yours. it's in a similar line of thought
Kavitha,Anjali,
I agree...But honestly I think its momentary reaction and thought that may maximum last for a week. Again you get back to your life your routines and I guess as most people say Time Heals!!
