It feels so wierd. You know people. You may not talk to them often. You may not keep in regular touch. But, nevertheless you have been seeing them for so many years of co-existence.

And then one fine day BAM!! Its all lost. They are gone. In just a flicker. Before you can even wink your eye, you get to know that you will not see them ever again in your life. Because you they have been taken away, from you and from this world.

I see all this and I am face to face with the fact of this life. It is so short. It is so uncertain. It is so precious. It is so lovely. But, it is not yours. Some random guy can end it in no time. May be not your fault, but you lose it. There is nobody you can go and complain to.

This is what happened to one of my college friend. The guy was returning home from work on his bike. Bike skid and a bus overran him. :'( Crazy.

Seeing all this, am left perturbed as to how should one live a life? Be cautious and plan every move? Or, just live for the moment, do what you want to do without bothering about anything else, because you never know ....


Skeptic, I am. Dont think am gonna sleep tonight. Just cant get the toughts out of my mind.


Anyhow, AP, dude, may your soul rest in peace. Amen!

    i read ur write-up the other day...n evn though it was true i cudnt feel the pain...today wen i happen to flip across the pages of hindu online, i see a headline "Ustad Bismillah Khan dies, aged 90"...i quickly got reminded of ur article...

    i remember meeting the maestro myself last february... he was thin n fragile but i cudnt evr think of him dying cuz mayb i nvr wanted him to...i was more amazed at the person himself rather than his talent...he was indian culture personified...reminded me of my grandfather...i m glad i got his blessings before it was too late...i rem him n feel so strange...

    as far as ur dilemma of livn for the moment or livin a planned life goes...i guess its a healthy mix of both...bt as it is said death strikes only once but life many times...so b prepared for all uncertainities...

    U know what Puneeth,always remember..." Yesterday is the PAST,it is history, Tomorrow the FUTURE is sure a mystery.... But TODAY is a gift from God & that's why it is called PRESENT.

    May ur friend's soul rest in peace.
    Take care.

    If you let uncertainties and its worst fears get on you, life would be no fun. So, it's always wiser to live for the moment, live for yourself and live for you dear, dear ones! That way you won't skip a single beat of life that it has to offer ...

    i guess living in the moment is the best thing!! death is the reality of life, why worry bout it now when u r sure to meet it some day or other!! Just live!!

    These thoughts really worry us at times...
    I feel that we should certainly plan all actions but that doesn't mean to ignore the present. Live in the present and look towards the future...
    That way you can feel every moment of your life, it's necessary coz it's precious.
