Uncertainty - The Only thing certain about this Life

Yesterday morning was just another lazy Sunday morning for me.......a boring and uneventful day given the fact that it was the very beginning of the month(read paisa khatam hai ).I was not expecting any thing unusual or out of the place but then something unusual happened........

At about 12 :30 i got a call from one of school friend.......with the bad news that a common school friend named Dhrupad Das is no more.It took me some time to take down that news and it was indeed a shock given the fact that the boy had just started doing well well in life after graduation.This period was to be his happiest but I guess destiny had other plans.

I was hoping to meet Dhrupad and many other school friends later this year when I was planning to visit Bangalore.I somehow liked the boy inspite of the fact that we were never very close in school.The key word being we respected each other & tried to understand each other.May God bless him & his family and may his soul rest in peace.

The real intention behind this blog is the way we take life ,people and events - we tend to take everything for granted and only seek our old friends when we need them and I admit to this fact that I had done the same quiet a few times.

The next time you sit and think about the people who are close to you - think of all those people in your neighbourhood, your school,friends you made during your graduation and ask yourself when was the last time when you spoke to them.You will find a strange hollow feeling an a sense of emptiness.

Todays generation (me included ) is becoming selfish by the day.......they only need that so called golden word to all the happiness in the world,"Success" and those people who can facilitate it in any possible way.

This loss has taught me one very important thing ,its never too late to get back to your old friends,relatives and acquaintances - people who knew you when you were any other Tom,Dick ,Harry and Akash.
