Life vs Life

            Strange part of life is, so much has been talked & written about the life, but nobody has yet found the 'perfect life.' There has always been controversy regarding somebody's attitude towards life. But whom you are showing attitude, whom you are dealing with? It's none other than the you, yourself. Whatever you do, it might affect others but it invariably is going to affect you. Every small decision of yours is going to have a big impact on your life someday. The good, the bad, you are not going to escape from any of these. So, here comes your take on life. The way you want to play on the front of your own battlefield.
            Safety approach is something most of us likes to follow. They never agree that they are playing on the backfoot but there is no aggression either. It is always 'risk-benefit ratio' which runs into their brains. Most of the times they end up choosing the things which just appear as the safety tool than something to cheer about. 'Cheer' is something they always pretend to have, but do they really have it? They just made it a habit to be happy in their own world. An independence inside four bricked walls is something it sounds like. They tend to sacrifice so many things in life just in the name of risk. They rarely chose the best thing because it never comes without problems. While driving a car, how expert the driver may be, he cant assure you the zero probability of accident. Same way there is nothing in life which comes 'risk free'. They lead this calculated life, but do they enjoy the God's most beautiful gift called life!
            Some people believe in 'happy go lucky' way. They choose the things that will make them happy, without caring for the risks & drawbacks. To live life fully, you have to give life a chance to flourish fully. This cannot be done by playing safe every single time. You have to take chances, calculated risks, accept challenges & overcome the obstacles. People will try to prevent you, criticize you & even stop you, but never stop following your heart. It surely matters to please the people who matters to you but pleasing yourself is equally important. You are best to others when you are best to yourself.  There are pros & cons of everything but it's up to you to decide what you want most. What will make you happy & what you are going to enjoy. So, never hesitate to express yourself, never forget to appreciate the things you like, never deny gratitude to who deserve & never get tired of being sorry if you are wrong. Laugh loudly, enjoy uncontrollably, forgive quickly, make new friends, never keep grudges. Life is a gift to cherish, a chance to perform & not a task to complete!

Life

Life sometimes behaves very unpredictably. U hv to face some things which u hvnt thought in ur weirdest dreams. A friend of mine hv called me 20days back, asking if i can help her with some money. She had an interview for a pg course & for admission she would be needing few lacs. Meanwhile i forgot to cal her & ask abt interview. Today she msged me & gave 2 shocks. She lost her father & missed the interview. Going into details i came to knw that, he was having intestinal obstruction, CT scan showed adhesion as a cause. He wanted her to see the reports before operation but she couldnt make it on such a short notice. He got operated & next day he told her not to come as he is fine. So she stayed back. Next to that, he started behaving abnormally & drs diagnosed encephalopathy. He was treated accordingly only to develop something like pneumonia, renal failure, septicemia, septic shock & finally death. When she reached there he was in CCU, on ventilator, under sedation. He didnt saw her, forget talking. She wanted to leave next day for interview, but doctors told her he is critical & not to go. On very next day, the inevitable has happened. The family went into the shock. A simple adhesionolysis ended up in death. She lost her father, though he was not a lone breadearner, losing father is something that u dnt want to happen to self.
I remember she went all the way to UP for a job, coz her father wanted her to serve at that place. The hospital he has worked at, the place he loved. But the same place denied her the chance to meet her father for the last time. He couldnt convince her for marriage till his death. On the other side, she missed her interview & also the last chance of getting pg admission this yr. She lost her father & a yr. All at the same moment.
Life never gives u second chance when u need it the most. So, dnt deny any respect or happiness to ur parents & loved ones. Leave nothing for the next time, coz next time u might hv to repent. Life is just a gamble, u never knw what is written in ur destiny.
