Long time since anything made me sit back and think. Not that my life has been uneventful, but mostly what is happening now a days is stand and think kinds. I have written a blog earlier about how unpredictable life is and how taken for granted we take it and I did take that seriously, started filling up my own bucket list. I think am already half way there, lets see whether and when the other items on the list get a done mark besides them.
Yesterday when I got the news that my cutest cousin is on the death-bed, I couldnt digest it for a while. Since mom was here took out all the sadness that I felt on her and even scolded dad without reason. It was so saddening that I just couldn't understand how to react. Let me introduce you to this great guy Jagat.
Jagat, or jaggu dada as I teased him when we were very young is a bundle of joy. Always smiling and really shining at that. He has got a little crooked teeth. Dimples on both the cheek that are look like huge pit holes on his chubby cheeks. You cant resist to smile back if he looks at you. He does not make an effort to smile, the smile is always there. Always happy, always smiling, always making fun, always enjoying life...
When he didn't score well in the school boards, I thought oh no is his career going to go down the drain, like my other cousins did. But no, this guy stood up to the challenge. Did his bachelors and masters in biotechnology and had started doing well in his career. Almost 4 yours younger to me, I cannot imagine loosing him at this age. I know uncle and aunt have already registered to the fact but their pain is unsharable right now. I didn't know what else to do, thought writing a small para on Jagat is all that I can do right now.
Salute to his spirit of life which hasn't gone down even after cancer has destroyed him physically. He is still the same smiling cute guy, minus the hair which has gone away after the rigorous chemo sessions. I am still hoping and praying and believing that a miracle will happen and we will have Jagat around for many more years to come....
