What we want and what we get!

i little while back i lost my mother-everything came to a standstill. I became unaware of the events occurring around me for a while. Being very close to her i always knew what she was felt in her last days and what she wanted and when. It was a huge loss for me.

Well recently while clearing her stuff up in the cupboard and thinking of what should be passed over to whom a thought struk me. I thought all our lives we keep wanting things-sometimes this when we get this we want that.

My mother was very fond of new clothes and in her cupboard i could see this huge variety of very expensive salwar kameez some in silk some in crape and i dont know what all. And all her life she was damn particular and choosy as to what to buy and from where. She would keep them all stacked up in her cupboard neatly ironed and lined waiting for the right occasion.

As we open the newspaper evry morning we see all disputes some between a father and a son, some brothers on land, property, money - but what so we finally take??? NOTHING!

I know even after writing this whole thing i might end up in a petty fight with a friend. But all i realised is that we should'nt waste our lives cribbing about what we didnt get-instead focus on what is our hands presently.

Life beautiful yet so unpredictible

In the last few days all the countries media has been diverted towards the Mumbai terrorist attack... what we all do is look at it criticize the government and get back to our work-We call that spirit of our country. But to look at it the other way one gets to know that we actually don't have a choice. 

Even the people who have suffered personal losses might have their lives slowed down for a while but ultimately they have to go out in the barbarous world waiting to gulp in more lives. About 200 people were killed - about the same number of families mourning.

Well a little before these blast i lost my mother to a long battle with cancer and i very well reallised how difficult it is to continue living sans our loved ones, which i never did before. Atleast we knew what was coming-everyone in my family even my mother but think of those people and their family who didnt have the slightest idea of what lied ahead.
