Kal Ho Na Ho?

Kya pata kal ho na ho… today’s dream just shook me out of my slothful day-to-day life. It just shook me awake and shouted… hey beena you forgot to write the blog you promised …grrrr…. lol

Every one of us knows that life is full of surprises. You never know when your last day is. Today might be mine. So let me write this blog, who knows I would ever get to write again. Ok, ok now don’t pray for my death and save yourself from whatever stupid things I write.

:-) Sounds dim-witted but it’s the truth. Some days back I remembered those days in hospital. Well, ok-ok before you just make that stupid face saying …”now when was that” let me tell you when that was. It was in my 5^th sem of PG that I got seriously ill. 10 days in hospital and the docs said, we have no idea what the problem is. She is just not responding. The last thing we suggest is that there are chances that there is a heart problem (well, I am still surprised, how come he knew? Hehehehehe. Ok ok back to the story). There was a sonography done and the problem started then.. No problem with the heart too, oh is it!! 5 days later I just got tired of being sick and we shifted back to home. I promised the doc that I would be back if I don’t keep well. Once at home I recovered fast, more out of the excitement of facing the challenge of passing in that semester than anything else.

So what was the problem with my health, no idea. I felt as if my days were going to end. Its then for the first time in my life that I realized how much precious my family is to me. I had so many things to do for them, I just cannot go away like this. I have not done anything yet… Weird, funny but still the exact thoughts that come to a person who senses the end.

I recollected this just some time back, when I realized that I was off-track what I had planned. I started to take life for granted. Very granted. Being too practical is the way to live life nowadays but amidst that I just forgot the essence of life, family and friends. Strangely today my quote says “If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?”. I just took it seriously and shared things with my near and dear ones, things I had thought of sharing but the practical me said hey, why are you being sooo senti. Trust me, the next day my brain weighed a lot lot less than before. So many complex thoughts just cleared out.

These thoughts of mine were strengthened when a friend sent a mail that was from one of his colleague in the US. That US guy met with a major accident with his two kids and lost two of his fingers. He wrote to say thanks to all his friends and God. He was so thankful to god for taking his fingers instead of his kids. I was so surprised at the mail, more because I had the same thoughts on mind.

Life is tooo short for being serious over issues that you have no control. So just chill, relax and enjoy, kya pata kal ho na ho... keep smiling :-)
