(In response to my Friend Chiru's Blog - Life is a Wonderful Twister. Dated 10/26/2010)
Life ... This 4 lettered word has the entire world woven around it. I always felt if there is anything at all as powerful as this word - LIFE.
Every word you speak is related to this word directly or indirectly. Everything you see, feel, sense has the essence of LIFE. Every minute we spend adds memories to the heart, experience to your mind, people to your world, happiness/sadness/anger/ ecstasy/many more such feelings to your emotions.
We begin our LIFE with only 1 person in our world - Amma (Mother). We are born and we have 2 people in our world - Mom and Dad. Then we add Sisters, Brothers, Uncles, Aunts, Grandpas, Grandmas, teachers, friends, colleagues, girl friends, boy friends, husband, wife(husbands/wives in some cases), in laws, children, grandchildren and so on. Our world grows as we grow.
It's amazing the way life unwinds in front of you. It surprises you the most especially when you are thinking that the world is all yours now. You have got what you have always wanted. "Yes - this is my life, the way I wanted it " and then BOOM BOOM BASH. There you are standing alone lost,speechless- you don't know what happened, why it happened - all you know is it HAS happened.
The philosophical side of me has grown mature- especially in the last ten years. And most of the time -it just asks me this one question ; "why are doing what you are doing right now?" sometimes I try to answer it by saying "I know that there is only one truth - One day I will DIE. I just hope to make my death a better one." but when it questions " How?" I don't know.
God - interesting subject. For me God is that unknown power that keeps me going, that helps me overcome those moments where I would feel " I am done with this life, I am tired of this life etc...etc..." God is that strength who helps me see positive side of any event. God is none other than that powerful soul of mine which guides me throughout my life. One of the dream that I have which I am hoping would be fulfilled when I leave this world - is to SEE the GOD, if he existed :) whom we have feared, respected, followed, loved, questioned and thought of ever since we gained the our senses.
Sometimes I really feel - this life will be worthwhile, if one could remember it after their death :) what is the point of all this emotional & physical struggle if one day you are going to vanish - just like that! And whatever existed in this life of yours vanishes with you!
But I am in no hurry for that moment , because I know just like every other event in my life which have been unpredictable, this one too is out of my control. But from my past events, I have learnt one thing. This life is very precious - good or bad, happy or sad, the suspense of the future events is what makes it a wonderful twister - ENJOY IT!!
And yes - definitely the unknown power is there to take care of you - to take you through this twister- Just put on your seat belts and trust him - like you do on those monstrous rides in Universal Studios, and you will see how much you will enjoy this ride; without any of those killing worries :)
