Today ,a colleague of mine passed away in a bike accident . He was not
in my team. I did not know him personally.I remember his face.One of my
friends had even wished him when he came to office in the morning
.Another one told me that he knew him personally and that he was a good guy .They had studied together and he had known him for 10 yrs or
so.He told me that he did not have the heart to go see the
departed's body which was awaiting postmortem in Manipal Hospital.May his soul rest in peace and may god help his family to go through this tough phase.
I ride a motorbike too . I go to the same office.I travel in the same traffic.It could have been me.Made me think about my mortality . As someone told me - ' Life is as fragile as a spider's single yarn.A strong gust would wipe it all away'.
Do I fear death ? No.Not mine at least. Another friend told me not to talk about ' these things '.That 'words have power' and I shouldn't speak about it.Otherwise it would come true.Out of respect, I did shut up then.
Right now I haven't planned anything.Neither am I expecting something in life.So the thought of a permanent and abrupt 'Power Failure' doesn't scare me anymore.I did a lot of praying in the past to god asking him to 'spare somebody else of the agony and that I will readily suffer instead '.Hopefully my luck hasn't run out yet :)
Either ways, if something like that does happen,I have no regrets.I lived a healthy happy life .And a 'short' one as of now :) .God has given me enough .The best being -my amazing parents and family .What would I ask more ? I jus hope I haven't let them down.
I am not sad.I wish someone somewhere smiles when they think about me when I am not there anymore :) .That would probably make my day in afterlife.Its better to burn out in a flash like a cracker than die slowly like a candle :)
