Life and Death !

Reading one of the blogs of a fellow blogger,(Prisoner - Thank you !) made me ponder a bit about the concept... The widely accepted and universally philosophical concept called Death. Steve Jobs..in his Stanford grad speech..mentions.. No one wants to die. Not even people who want to go to heaven want to die to get there... Its true.. No one wants to die.. But it is a great motivator for life isn't it.. It gives us the hope we need..to bide past every single day of our lives.. It clears our thoughts and emotions to think of the things and be with the people, that matter the most.

As for life after death, maybe there is, maybe there's not. But who wants to wait and find out. Everyone wants to live this life, get to do everything they want in the time given to them. No one wants to wait till life after death(when we are said to possess so called powers - courtesy..movies like Ghost !) to do everything they've always wanted. Everyone wants a full life. A life filled with happiness, sorrows, ups and downs. And yet, when faced with Death...

Death leads you to believe, to hope for all things good, for what's worth. Death makes you spend time with people who matter the most, do things that you've always wanted to do. Things that you thought you had the next twenty to thirty years to do. You call it your destiny, fate or whatever, but it is still the single best invention of life(in Steve Jobs' words). I totally agree...

Death is.

Not Fair !

Losing something...A relationship...A person... A gift...Something as meagre as a simple voice file...I've known loss is the toughest emotion. The hardest feeling to digest and live with. But we are usually left with no choice, but to accept. Working on something for almost twelve hours, my server swallowed the file up. Every inch of effort that went into that file, were gone in the matter of a split second. I wanted to scream bloody murder...cry loudly... but the only thing I could do is pull on a sad smile and walk away like it didn't matter. Today as I redo it again, I am just thinking...Is this the law ? For every single thing in life ? Is loss the only remaining option at the end ? Is that fair ??

Tired to the Bone !!

Sometimes, I wanna quit. Go do something that I absolutely love doing... Learn music or dance or performing arts. Tour the world,learn new languages, meet new people. Backpack, hitchhike, white water raft, bungee jump... Go absolutely bonkers over life and live it to the fullest. I don't have any big qualms with life. I am content, satisfied, have a good family and circle of friends. Life is good. But sometimes... The mind wants more... To be sated...To embellish... To spread wings... To Break Free !!
