Panorama

Well, the title to this post had be pre-decided a week ago when I had absolutely no idea that what this post would be about. But I guess the start to my week has been grateful enough to lend it its contents.

From opening the eyes and engulfing the first ray of the sun for the day to shutting the eyes absorbing all the rays of the day, so entangled in our mesh of thoughts! From fighting to tick all the bullets of to-do lists to finding ever so useless answers the common childhood exam questions which no longer are awarded marks in our real life - 'Who said to whom?'. Amongst everything, we just fail to realize the old-age inevitable truth of all times, 'Life is unpredictable'. So whimsical and fickle. And that so is true. Using all these adjectives here, I don't mean that life has surprises and shocks to offer but today look at it with another perspective. You never know when it offers you the biggest surprise and shock, an oxymoron of all times, plan your meeting with the dreaded dragon of 'Death'. What might pain more is when you see this, keeping your loved ones as the subject. I guess, losing them would be more painful! How selfless, no? One person leaves the world, he forces millions of other people to lose a part of themselves with him. The unending cries, the unforgettable moments, the umpteenth memories, these are all what you are left with. And after all, closer to heart are all those feelings that we try to repress and forget. If we're far away from the person we love and miss, everyone we pass in street reminds us of them. But still, knowing all this, we can never 'prepare' ourselves for the inevitable. Can we? Even the person on the death bed is consoled by the doctor by showing him a ray of hope, a ray of life. The endless prayers that the family members and friends keeping on doing and chanting so as to do simply anything in the world but to save him. It so is the irony and agony of life. But the leash of the dragon is only controlled by 'One'. All efforts and tries may just fade away giving way to the ocean of endless sadness and just the memories to live and cope with. All the calls that were cut so as to attend to them later on, all the meetings left unattended, all the words left unspoken, all the deeds undone will so remain like that and forever.

We might say numerous things, be brave like anything to fight the whole world but still this mortality of life is something which can even make the most powerful person to bow down in front of it. Leave behind all the tiny grudges. Feel yourself to be so lucky to have your loved ones still around you. To love you and to be loved. Love more people than the number of them you hate, life would surely be better and panorama of a perfect life is what you'll experience and adore!

P.S.-What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
