I have seen people talk about health tips that bring you a long life. I have heard people tell me to learn driving a car, because riding a two-wheeler was more risky. I see people thronging gyms and yoga classes to stretch their life span a little bit more. I read Facebook posts and e-mails that talk about spirituality, art of letting go and bringing more peace for a longer life. Some suggestions also included: meet old friends as often as possible, listen to good music, spend quality time alone thinking about yourself and loving yourself, look good-be good and all of that somewhere was indicative that the span of the so-called life gets better while you followed them. What if I told you that all of this is super-false? It is crass!? I believed in all that I just mentioned above, as I once had a running example of a guy who would go to great lengths to stay fit. He would drive a car(and proficient at that, for several years now…his car was a well-equipped one with airbags, ABS and all that you may call essentials), he would follow his own little fitness regime, he let go of his past baggage, he caught up with old friends as often as he could(I have been his friend for 18 years now), he enjoyed good music and shared it, he believed in god, he looked good inside-out... and yet his life spanned for 31 years. This day last year he left. He left so haplessly, so hurriedly, like he hated to see his people again. Whatever begins ends someday. What is brought to life dies. Death is the most powerful truth one can ever encounter; a truth that is more livid when it does not occur to you! Its fierceness attacks you, when it happens only to the one you thought you would never lose out on. No matter how much you and I evolve, no matter how much acceptance you develop for this fact, it will hit you hard on your face when the moment comes. So whether you ready yourself for this or no, there is only a tiny piece of advice I have for you... Never take a moment for granted. Whenever you close a conversation on a phone or face-to-face with a loved one, dont leave it bitter, if it cant be sweet. While you leave home for office or elsewhere, care to bid a goodbye. Having said all of this, there will still be mistakes that we will make and we will still remain flawed and incorrigible... but please try! P.S: Please take the message more seriously. Dont post RIPs for him; he always has been in peace, he has a way with it. with love Niru
