The Death

 Death is a celebration. A final marking of an individual. A full stop. The end of a song. The Pre – Minutes Breathing notes of a Life Music. The last page of a Book. The falling time of a flower. And .. The Muted disappearing of a Soul.

 Why we fear at Death ? Because we love being alive. We love every second of Life. We love living on earth. We love seeing Sunrise again. We love hearing morning ‘ Silence ‘. We love seeing people again. We love proving ourselves in our profession. We love going for outing. We love watching movies. We love being with friends. We love tasting family moments. We love wife, sons, daughters, mom, dad, uncle,aunt and every form of relationship. But with one note … ” I hate to live here ‘. Contradictory isn’t ?. If you hate to live on earth, what stops you saying ‘ Welcome ‘ to Death ? A Question to ponder.

 The point here is .. We love every moment of our life either happy about it or complaining about it. It takes just few minutes to finish a Life by ourselves. We never do that. Imagine this. A Life of 60 years, has 37, 84, 32,000 minutes. 37 Crore plus minutes. Few minutes to finish a Life against 37 Crores of minutes ! We never do that. We live Crores of minutes with a happy state of mind. Blaming, Expecting, Celebrating, Being true to ourselves, not Being true to ourselves .. everything happens in these Crores of minutes. These are part of life. Still, after, all these, at the time of 60, When death comes, we never invite it with smiling face. We fear about it. What a Contra Life !!

 I am yet to see a person speaking happily about Death. The moment ‘ death ‘ comes in our thinking, our language mostly keeps quiet and behavior starts to pose fearful. What is there to fear. The Truth is, birth and death are not in our control. Well, we may say, birth is now in our control but in my view, everything is destined. Death, we may postpone it with advancement of Science but it is inevitable. I haven’t seen a person who has never ‘ died ‘ so far in my life. Death hugs everyone. Whether you are a Champ, or, a failure. Nothing matters. In this world, Death treats everyone equally. Birth not. Sad but true reality !

 I welcome Death. If it happens now, tonight, tomorrow, this month, this year, in few years, in ten years …Whatever .. I welcome it. I sense I have given my best in everything I have come across and chosen. Giving best and Leaving it in the back makes one to invite death with a smile on face. Commitments ? Family ? Dreams ?.. xxxx xxxx .. Everything happens to us because of the incomparable Nature. When Nature feels ‘ Its time ‘, Its really a time to become mature enough to say .. ‘ Yes I am ready ‘. Rest .. Nature will take care. Even Alexander was able to take care of everything for ‘Some Time’. Not all the Time.

 So ..

Are you Ready for Your Death ?
