Well this is my first try to write a blog.There are certain things ,thoughts and ideas which are common to every body.here I would like to share my hidden fear for death.we all are so lost in the sunshine and beauty of life that this realization of death seldom comes to our mind and seems to have no place in the busy life. it is better to write down your views when you can't share them personally with somebody. this thing is coming to me since last one month in which so many unexpected things have happened around me. one of them has happened with my maid.she is a very hard working and dedicated worker.for some health problem I was in bed for around one month.she lives in the premises of my house only .she was having a happy family of a son and a husband. she is the second wife of her husband and was rearing the child from her husband's first wife i.e her only son.he was a very healthy baby of three and a half years.he was having normal cough and fever for which he was being doctored,when all of a sudden a scream came from her house one early morning.............and her son was no more. this is not only about the loss of a child I am talking about but this is about the sacrifice she has made for that child. she could not give birth to her own child because she was operated for not having her own children, so that she could better look after that child . she brought up that boy since he was only 9 days old and forgot that she has not given birth to him.she gave him the love and care which she would have given to her own child. but this was the end of her story . this all happened in front of my eyes.a day before that boy was playing in my house and next morning his mother was crying in front of me for having lost him. Since that a turbulence is going in my mind about the life we are living and the time of end which only GOD knows . this incident has taught me a lesson that LIVE THE EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE AS A LAST MOMENT. Spread the happiness around you and help the needy . always keep the word DEATH engraved on the slate of your life so that you forget about your own pains and contribute to the well being of others.
Chetna that is a very well written blog. I would encourage you to write more. You have mentioned a very deep experience . I had the same feelings when i worked in the hospital and saw people dying due to unexpected reasons. The death will catch them unaware sometimes. Many times I had to walk near the morgue but the good side was that there was a neo natal unit around the corner too where I can see the new born babies too. I realised that death is not the end, life is also around the corner. It goes around in circle. Nothing dies, our soul goes around in circles. I feel death is an illusion. We all come back and meet the people we love in one way or other and repay for our karma.
