<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">“By now I have lived with more than ten versions of myself. How, do you ask? Because I am literally living different versions of self daily. How fancy is it to live life for a day? Of course, it’s very adventurous” I exclaimed. “But I can’t live with the fear of dying daily Phione”, Rose said looking terrified. “Ya, I understand where you come from but look on the bright side, I get to wake up at the same party every night and every night I meet different people, talk to them about our lives and get killed eventually to be woken up in the same party again”. Rose continued looking terrified and starts to walk away from me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Note to self : that I’m strong and death doesn’t scare me anymore. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Was I being too affirmative? Did I really like living a life for a day? Did I start to enjoy it? Oh wait, it’s almost time to die again. See you soon with a different story and hopefully with a different person. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“By now I have lived with more than ten versions of myself. How, do you ask? Because I am literally living different versions of self daily”.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“Oh! You have started to use great pickup lines Phione, Did you say you die daily and wake up in the same party and I got to believe you”? “Raj, I’m not lying to you, I literally die daily and wake up in this party to die again”. “Oh yes, obviously you do. I have been pranked whole of my life and you little miss can’t get away with this one. What have you been smoking? I’m walking away from you, little weirdo”. 12AM Raj walks away and the lights fade on me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Note to self: Few people never trust you, don’t try and explain.Period. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“By now I have lived with more than ten versions of myself. How, do you ask? Because I am literally living different versions of self daily. I die everyday and wake up in this party to eventually to die again”. Granny nodded with a smile and told, ”have some aspirin your headache will go away”. “Granny, I have been saying something to you which is serious, have you come across this kind of situation anytime in your entire life till now? I’m suffering. I’m done being positive”. She smiles and hands over an aspirin and walks away. “Don’t leave, I’m serious, hello! Please”. Before I go, a quick note to self: People might listen to you, they might advice you as well but not every problem has one same solution. You got to find out what suits your situation. Listen but choose wisely. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“By now I have lived with more than ten versions of myself. How, do you ask? Because I am literally living....Dan walks towards me, hugs me, kisses me and stops me from continuing. “Oh, am I hallucinating Dan”? “His eyes meets mine, he gives that optimistic hope with those bright eyes of his. He makes me sit next to him, he holds my hand”. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">“I don’t want to die today”. I look up and say, “Dan stop here, I did not have any fear of dying but now, I don’t want to let go of you. You are the only one who has shown some love towards me and have told me that I have a medical condition and promised to help me. I don’t want you to go away too, before it’s midnight and I fall asleep and wake up to not find you, be a good memory and walk away right now”. “He never left my side, he said he was sure to help me. He also said, tonight if you go and not meet me at the doctors tomorrow, come find me near this fire place”. 12am I am gone again but with a heavy heart this time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“By now I have lived with more than ten versions of myself. How, do you ask? Because I am literally living different versions of self daily but I’m happy today”. Do you ask why? Because I’m near this fire place with Dan who has taken great care of me and we celebrate our 25th anniversary today. What a great party it has been. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A happy note for self: there are few and particularly that one person who never leaves your side no matter what. Trust them, love them unconditionally. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A quick tip for life: Mental health is as bad and as suffocating to the person suffering as physical health is. Don’t live with it. Talk about it, spread awareness and remember to love beyond words. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">PS: Storyline Inspired by Russian Doll series on Netflix but none of the above incidents are related to the said series. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, the silhouettes stopped me from seeing you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh! I know he is the one; but this struggle, is this really true? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Love is always one sided is what I believed </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When our glances met, my love for you was cleaved. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Soon we liked, loved and got severely attached </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Our love conquered the whole city but we were jinxed to be detached. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Seasons changed, years passed, skin is pale but love was still searched for </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">New lives came, things were fresh but it was all happening outside because you were still very far. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Heart skipped a beat when I saw you today</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I felt a fresh breeze, new life, a whole new enthusiasm and I was all ready to slay. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">That moment of joy my head was hallow and heart was stupidly in love indeed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Thoughtless, emotions empty, not an iota of physical craving creeped. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Wiping my tears of delight, I came close to you </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A hand on your neck, a peck on your cheek came not from me but that was your little daughter dove.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Something strong shook me and I realised then, I was so close to you yet I felt you were still not here </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Ran into his arms who always made me feel special and near. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">How kind were you to accept me as I was though you missed me each moment from within </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It took me so long to realise that it was really you and I would like to finally forget the past to move on and begin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It is really you! You who has to leave the past in the past because such is life and not everyone will wait for years to accept YOU. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">PS: Inspired by an episode of Modern love ‘when Cupid is a prying journalist’ which shows how we hang on to the past and never realise the fruits of present and future. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What’s life after death like? Do I believe in afterlife? What will I be doing in my afterlife? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think I know the answer already. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Something struck me when I was travelling in Croatia last weekend. Nature’s beauty is preserved so well in this country, clear blue seas, not even a piece of paper on the streets, high respect to the nature so on and so forth. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I drove around the country I wondered about how beautiful it would be to be a tree. Since the birth, during life and afterlife they are considered useful. I love to think spiritually and connect spiritually with most of the actions I take in my life and I wanted to continue something similar in my afterlife too. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I quickly asked my husband. I know you can survive without me but I cannot, so, if I leave one fine day, will you promise me to put my ashes in my garden and grow a tree on it? As someone who has been tolerating my stupidity, he calmly answered okay, I will. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What happens if I become a tree, I will still be alive, I will still have a life, I’ll be giving life to many lives around me, I’ll live and die for others and still be alive. I will be helping humans to survive and I’ll be helping nature to be preserved. There will be houses built all over me in the form of pretty nests which will bear many lives such as birds/butterflies etc. I will see the world through their eyes. They will carry me with them, fly out one day, put me in different parts of the world and my legacy will live on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My life and afterlife will always be what I wanted it to be, fly high, see places and enjoy life. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Live life and afterlife.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">I was with her all this while but never really saw her this way before. Eyes were not enough to capture all that beauty of hers. I was awestruck to see her smile from far far away.</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">All geared up for my first skydive, I had butterflies in my stomach and had sleepless nights from two days before. I was prepping myself from days to get this lifetime experience. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Whenever I saw people hanging out of the plane to jump off of it, I was like, why do I have to pay so much to have a dying experience. Little did I know that I would get to see this World in a whole new view.</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"> </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">4am in the morning my alarm wakes me up to remind me of an amazing day ahead of me. With mixed feelings and lack of confidence, I got ready to leave. Motivated myself to check how to pose when I’m up in the air, with a sleepy eyes and a lot of dreams in it to experience the time of my life, I gathered my guts and started to the sky diving center. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">All the way along I was just seeing the skies and thinking to myself I will be there in a while with you buddy. Hold on, I’m not sure if I can do this but still I’m coming to you. Quarter to Seven I reach North London Skydiving center. Of course the excitement showed off because I was the first one to reach amongst 85 other crazy jumpers that day. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Heart beats rose as the center opened at half seven. I know it’s not a great thing to be suggesting/doing but to be frank I did not read the T&C’s in the form which I signed which clearly stated the risk of life and I happened to read this only once I came back from my jump. The instructors made us do all the trainings and made us ready for the jump. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Cut to— I was in make it or fake it stage and posed away with all smiles. All the safety checks were completed and my instructor asked our last wishes by the way he really did this to get some giggles for the camera but from inside I was terrified. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Inside the flight, on the runway, with all the gears ready I sat there sheepishly praying for my poor life. Thanks to my instructor Chris who was super energetic and passed on his positivity by his stories of individual jumps and kept on saying that world looks incredible from up above. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">That moment was finally there which I was waiting for a long time now. At 15000 feet above the door of the flight opened, I took a glimpse of her from the corner of my eyes, she stood there beautifully beyond belief. All of a sudden I was not scared at all, I was that one person who hanged out of the door up above the sky and jump it off with all smiles on my face. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">And then, I had this beautiful world under me! Far far away from all the problems. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">A place near London, Milton Keynes. A very pretty city where my daughter Ranjana and son-in-law Abhishek live. For now, this is our home for couple of months.We were all exited and geared up on a beautiful Saturday morning to visit Bristol for International Balloon fiesta. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Though the Balloons did not fly for obvious reasons #goodweather, we couldn't forget the amazing food we had at Abhishek's friends which gave us more joy than seeing balloons fly. After heavy dinner, we started back to Milton Keynes around 10pm. Who</span></div>

Ah! All the motorway roads are closed. Isn't it exciting Abhishek exclaimed! It was around 11pm, thick forest,pitch dark all around, big lavish houses which looked haunted, silence was the only sound we could hear. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">While we were constantly looking for help in a no mans land, there we saw an elder lady on her powered wheelchair. For once we ignored her and stopped our car beside a huge house to seek help from technology. Abhishek was busy asking google to take us home. Thanks to the thick forest, we did not have any mobile reception there. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">People here strictly follow early to bed early to rise policy. While we were shocked to see a lady at that hour, Ranjana scared us by saying, Mum, would that be a ghost? To see a lady who was well built with long grey hair anyone could have a weak heart. All the scary stories we heard in our childhood days crossed our minds. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Ranjana's dad wanted to scare us more and started narrating an incident which her granddad faced very long back in our native village. While granddad was coming back home he got lost in the middle of no where in a huge jungle, right then he met one of the workers who worked for grandad and that person helped grandad reach home. What's scary in that Ranjana asked sarcastically? When her dad continued the story--- when granddad thanked the worker the next day for his kindness, the worker was surprised and told granddad that he was not in town from past 2 days. That's when we were super scared and didn't want to get down from our car. Some ghosts will be friendly too, dad laughed! </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Scared and still looking for help, we hear someone knock on the car window. Whom should we see when we lift our heads? It's none other than the lady we were talking about all these while. Ranjana was so scared and she was not willing to open the window. All of us in the car gave a willing nod and Abhishek opened the window. There she was standing tall asking if we were lost. Ranjana and I were sweating in that cold weather while Abhishek and Ranjana's dad sat calmly in the car. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">The lady shook my shivering hand when we realised that she was not a ghost but a friendly person who helped us with her old fashioned map, explained the routes for atleast 15 minutes, marked each and every landmarks for us and made us reach home safe. Hats off to her geography, she was god sent. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">Laughing at our mental blocks and feeling sorry for the judgements we made, we thanked her kindness and knowledge in our hearts. As we spoke about this incident all the way long, we did not get to know how fast we reached home. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: '.SF UI Text'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">We really wanted to call her and tell her how thankful we were for her help, sadly we did not have her contact. As we slept peacefully in the night, someone asked me with a low voice--- Were my instructions right? I hope you guys reached home safe. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
As the pampered one in my family, If I had ever left mom, dad and sister for more than few weeks that was only to get more pampered in my native. Not so proud to say that I was super pampered but yeah! It was fun. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
Woke up in a zen mode today and was thinking how far have I come? From a girl who innocently roamed around in a small town to a woman who has been independent enough in exploring unknown places. Yes, that's a good change I see in myself. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
My biggest strength, family and friends. Family my lifeline and few selfless friends who wish for our happiness and nothing else. I'm blessed to have a family which gave me my space. They never forced things up on me and raised me not to be dependent. Those were the days when mom went out to work. When both the parents are working, you are forced to be independent I guess, at least this was the case at my home. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
My sister and I, cursed ourselves when dad woke us up early in the morning and made us run to car driving lessons. When mom made us do our own dishes and the basic laundry. Also, can't forget those days when I and my sister wanted more pampering from my grandparents who were happy if we bunked school for a day or two but we were asked not to cheat on our commitments. Today, I sit miles away from my home and thank them for making me independent.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
The distance is thousands of miles between Me, parents and sister but the values they gave us stay very close to my heart. As a child we learn what we see. Whatever community services I'm involved in today, is just because I saw dad helping many of his students who were in need, mom worked hard in the day and still managed to donate blood post her working hours for the needy. My sister helped orphanages and old age homes. My whole satisfaction of giving back to the society has come from what I saw in my family. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">
Like dad always said- Though distance is not good, it's the best teacher. He always wanted me and my sister to get out and explore. That's what we are doing now. Working hard, partying harder, following our dreams and passion. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: -webkit-standard;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
I sat there admiring the symbol of love<br />
What else can I wish for? it's only- You<br />
You cross my mind, heart and soul each moment<br />
I crave to see you next to me atleast for a second<br />
<br />
I sat there admiring the symbol of love<br />
What else can I think of? It's the thought- You<br />
If I had magic powers, I would go back in time just to see you smile<br />
Countless feelings rush when I imagine you<br />
<br />
I sat there admiring the symbol of love<br />
What else can I ask for? A word or two from you<br />
I'm sure love doesn't go unanswered my dear<br />
Though you are so far, I can feel you around me forever<br />
<br />
I sat there admiring the symbol of love<br />
Prayers were answered and I got all those which I wished, thought and asked for<br />
My heart fell in love all over again<br />
When the lips felt the kiss, arms with hugs and a night filled with talks which I always longed for!<br />

and he went on and on, <b>I was like—</b>Hello,
give me a chance to talk. The chat started casually when I asked, where do you
live in Seattle Mart? Mart again goes on and on, he says: I live nearby, I did
not want to study but I studied in this college, I did an animation course, I
graduated with high grades as my mum wanted to see me in my graduation gown,
etc. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Again, I was like— </b>Hello my
chance to talk. He laughs and asks me to continue, <b>curious me:</b> Why did you have to study when you didn’t want to? Is
it for your mother? Mart takes on from here: Yes, it is! She wanted me to
graduate before she said good bye to this world. I fulfilled her dream to see
me as a graduate. I was so sorry for Mart and consoled him. He went on, my mum
was a very lively person, she was a single mother yet she did not make me
realise that my dad was not with us. She was my everything. He showed me
pictures of his mum and I was very emotional by then, I thought to myself why
these sufferings dear lord!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;">Goodbyes and See-you’s: </span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;">Controlling my emotions I cheered him
up, I told him your mum will always be there with you in each step of your
life. He smiled and thanked me for my words. Just then, the cab driver called
me to inform that the cab was fast approaching. Curious me never stops
questioning, they say it’s good to ask but not always I feel. I asked Mart why
he was wearing a Santa’s hat when it was not even close to Christmas. With a
sad face, Mart answered: I had been to New Jersey for my Chemotherapy, I wear
this hat always as this was given by my mum and when I wear this it makes me
brave, brave enough to fight the demon in me, I’m 22 and I really want to wear
more graduation hats and not Santa’s hats but god has not given me a choice but
to wear this. I was shocked after what I heard. I hugged Mart but still did
not know what to tell him, holding back all my emotions and putting my brave
face on, I told him: I’m sure you will throw more graduation hats in the air in
coming years and your mom will not let you leave this world. Wish to see you
soon. With a heavy heart, I had to leave as my cab arrived. I left the place
wishing and praying that Mart
is cured soon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">We have so
many brave hearts that are great inspirations. There are many such Marts’
amongst us with loads of dreams but with very less time to fulfill those dreams.
Let’s hope that these miseries end someday and world becomes a much more
beautiful place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">December, freezing evening! Ah, it's obvious.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">It's snowing...!!!don't go he said, when have I ever listened to you love! I said.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Umbrella, gloves, jackets and warmers please he said, of course I can't go without it, Grrrrr.... stop babysitting me I said.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Walking on the snow spread streets like I cared for none, I was my own boss on those empty streets. Taking a walk alone was my favorite thing to do. But, but, but no....not any more.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I'm perfectly alright, did not mean to scare you.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">All excited to visit the famous tea room in the town. I arrive and wait for my favorite pot of tea. I did what I did always, looking around for interesting things I can take note of and praise the lord for the learning he has hidden in each and every moment.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">In my head, I spoke to myself: oh, I can't be wrong, he is surely on a date. Anyone can guess that. Look at his neatly combed hair, a perfect knot in his tie, tucked in shirt, that suit and shining black shoes. A stubborn I said: I was not wrong at all.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">He made himself comfortable and sat there waiting for her. For a minute, my concentration diverted as my tea made its way. By the time I shifted my glance, he stood up like a real gentleman and pulled out the chair for her. He kissed her hand, from his expressions, I assumed her hands were as soft as flower petals.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Of course it was none of my business to stare at him and embarrass him. Even he did not care about the world. I couldn't stop noticing this sweet little incident though. All I could see was, him offer immense love and care for her.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sipping his tea and talking as if he was the only one in that room, I'm sure he made her comfortable. Holding her hands for hours, without taking his eyes off her for a second, he escorted her back and made his way to the door.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Was there anything special in this? This is very common you might say. Hold it right there....I was imagining her the whole time. Confused? Let me explain.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I'm sure there was a handsome guy waiting for his date, I'm sure he ordered for his drink and I'm also sure that there was no date present. When I saw this incident unveil in front of my eyes, at first, it felt hilarious. Who would dress so well and act as if they were on a date?</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Couldn't take this confusion anymore, I asked my waiter friend what was happening? He then said, the man whom we all witnessed just now had absolutely no one in his life, he comes here once in a while to meet his imaginary date and leaves.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This shocked me, I was in tears and ran straight back home and hugged my love. I held him tight and said, please baby-sit me as you always do. I will always listen to whatever you say and will always love you to the moon and back.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Wiping my tears off, he chuckled and said, I'm sure, you saw something sweet or strange happening around you again isn't? Don't even think of It, I will never stop my care towards you my stubborn little bird.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I dedicate this to all those who still prove that the world is full of love and miracles.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">To: Love, a miracle that heals sorrows.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In fondest
memory of my Grandfather (Ajja), I write this sweet little incident which I, my
sister (Akka) and Dad (Appa) shared.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The most
treasured things in life are found in a treasure box called Memories. The more
we enjoy life, the more we fight, the more we forgive, the more we love and
laugh, the more we learn lessons, the only thing we are creating are priceless
memories.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a
usual day for the rest of them at home, but for me and Akka it was something
special because our guardian angel Ajja was at home. Our beloved Ajja was our
Guide, Guru and a protector from scolding’s of my parents, which was obvious
because of our naughtiness.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When Ajja
was around, it was like being with a walking and talking Santa. He was
grandchildren’s favourite as he got us whatever we asked for and he also made
sure that my parents get us what we asked for. As we are 80s kids, we did not
desire for something huge. Huge meaning, a phone/ tab/ laptop, etc. But our
demand was something simple. Simple for us, but for our parents it was
something very new.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were
blessed to watch colour television. The ad pops up on the TV; me and Akka open
our mouth wide and watch this ad of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">KELLOGG’S
CORN FLAKES</b>. The flakes are poured into a classic china, the cut fruits,
honey and the milk made it look so yummy that we could not close our wide open
mouth till the next ad started.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We knew
which God’s doors to knock when it came to get new stuffs or what we wanted. We
asked Ajja to order Appa to get the corn flakes right away. As Ajja was in a
very respectable position, Appa had to buy us what we wanted.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Appa called
me and Akka into the room, where Ajja couldn’t hear us and warned us about
buying corn flakes. There was this common rule at home, which we all followed
sincerely <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“No wasting Food”. </b>Appa
was very strict about it and he was very sure that we were not accustomed to
this kind of food. As he always said when we were about to waste food, He told
in a thick voice, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“If you don’t finish
what I get you, I will tie the food to your ear”.</b> Ah! Who cares, all we had
in mind was mouth-watering corn flakes.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After listening to both the parties, our
beloved Judge Ajja passed the ordinance saying “treat my grandchildren with a
bowl of corn flakes which looks just like the one which comes on TV”. As we had
won the case after fighting very hard for our rightful bowl of corn flakes, the
only thing which was awaited was to eat and finish off the bowl full of yummy looking
corn flakes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That’s it! Cornflakes bought- Check, Milk
poured-Check, Honey Mixed- Check, Cut fruits for the dressing-Check. Appa made
it look so yummy. He brought three bowls of cornflakes, one for the judge, one
each for the plaintiff’s. Indeed “don’t go by the looks”. Yes, we were trapped.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">First spoon of cornflakes goes into our
mouth and we see each other’s face and say--- was it for this we fought so
much? Yeah, we were Idli, Vada and Masal Dosa people and not at all Corn flakes
people. Appa was so damn right. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Assuming all the consequences we might
face if at all we waste the food, I and Akka slowly vanished from the Dining
area and slipped near the attic to throw the yummiest looking food. As we were
about to throw, a thick voice shouts out our names, we panic, we fall down from
the attic, started to run thinking it was Appa who caught us. Realising our mistake,
we turn back to apologies, the next thing we see is, person standing behind us
was not Appa and Guess what? It was Ajja who was about to ask us to throw his
bowl of cornflakes as well with a disgusting look on his face. We finish our
act in a hurry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hush! Me, Akka and Ajja were so relieved
that Appa did not notice us while we did what we shouldn’t have done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We all went to Appa and sincerely apologised
for pleading him to get cornflakes and we all shared a healthy laugh together.
Appa was happy that his kids and his Father-in-law would never pester him again
with things like this and cheerfully slipped into his work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The next thing we see on TV is “CHOCOS ad
with yummy chocolate flakes falling into a bowl of milk”…. Of course, you know
what happens next!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Signing off with my favourite quote</span><span style="font-family: "Imprint MT Shadow";">--“When someone you
love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure”… Miss you Ajja.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 5pt 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This post is for all those who
have gone through the phase which I have been. Here, “I” is “We” who have
suffered this sudden pain which is hard to forget. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We all love asking questions, don’t
we?</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Curious questions asked by your kid.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Romantic--will you?</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Those comforting lines from your family. These
are treasured for life.</span></li>

<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the very point, there are
those questions which bother us, which haunt us for life, which makes you burst
out of anger. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Questioning myself about few things
which I had been through, I started sipping my coffee while I awaited my friend’s
arrival. It all started when I overheard someone describe me to someone else on
a call saying, don’t you know that ugly and plump one? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Why am I labelled so? Instead,
why can’t I be described as “one with a beautiful smile, one who is selfless,
one who is entertaining? Is it the liberty I have given or is it about that
person who doesn’t have a right vision to see me in a good way? Negative comments
on physical appearance is none of anybody’s business, until they have gone through
the pain what a mother has suffered while bringing her bundle of joy to this
world. Lots of questions struck me hard, hit me straight to heart and thoughts
started rolling down. Of course, I cannot expect everyone to think the way I
do, but this incident for sure enlightened me to treat and see other person in
the same way I want to get treated. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We cannot judge a book by its
cover and a person by their looks. A short person was once a successful prime
mister of India, A stout person is a dance choreographer, A person without a
leg climbed Mount Everest. There are many such living legends amongst us, still
we end up forgetting and start judging.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Everyone is fighting a battle which
we never know. A person with a crippled hand would have served his family so
hard that he is in that state today. One who looks dark would have burnt
herself in the scorching sun to feed her family. One who looks overweight could
actually be a person who eats less than a child and could be in a severe
medical condition. We are considered beautiful the day when we start
understanding minor issues of a suffering soul.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Back to my last sip of coffee and
off my thinking cap, I see a lovely smile flaunt at me and he calls me- “Hey Beautiful,
sorry for making you wait.” Then I realised, okay… my partner in crime is no different
than I am, in the way we think. He was expecting a shout back from me for
making me wait, instead the situation made me melt for the kind of attitude he
had in treating me or anyone for that matter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Concluding my thought with this meaningful
quote “People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did But
people will never forget how you made them feel.”-- Maya Angelou<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

I am!</b><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
PS: Penning mine and my best
friend Manjula’s thoughts in this post. Hope the justice is made. Thanks for
asking me to write this.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Probably a day in my life which I can’t dare to
forget.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">I was all geared up to hit office. An emergency call
comes and I say oh! Okay, I will be there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Nothing is important when the matter is life. Isn’t
it?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">_______________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">The call was from the hospital. Not to worry, nothing
happened to me or anyone I know. But, yes! It was an emergency.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">I rushed to the hospital, went straight into the concerned
department, they made the basic tests on me and the next moment I was on the hospital
bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Again, thanks for your concern. I was all fine </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; line-height: 107%;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Wingdings; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">The nurse comes with a syringe, a packet and a ball
which was smiling. The syringe was big enough to hold the amount of water you
drink in a day. Exaggerating! Ya, that’s right… I’m good at it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Seconds later, I had a little prick and this is the
only prick I can tolerate from someone unknown to me. I enjoyed every bit of what
I was doing. The smiling ball in my hand was constantly smiling at me and I
guess, it was telling, Good job girl!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">The alarm beeps and the packet was collected. It was
an enthralling experience. Normally, it’s not good to see blood. It’s assumed
that something is wrong to someone. But, we should also give a thought about the
same blood which can save a life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">_______________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Coming back to what actually happened. Early in the
morning the call I received was for a blood donation for an 8 year old girl’s
heart surgery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">I was sad with the almighty, why he had to make that
little one go through knives and scissors and what not? At this age. Accepting
the fact, I just rushed to the hospital to play my role which could save a life
in a while.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">I had just finished donating blood. The parents of
the kid were so happy to find a person who could save their little ones heart.
Trusting in god was all they had and it’s always true that, if you help
someone, the next person to help you when you are in need, is not really hard
to find.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Many things were going on in my little head, how
would she look like? What would she be in future? Would she also be that
special someone when there is a need?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Carrying a bag of thoughts, I finished my
formalities with the hospital and left to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">_______________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Few weeks later, the hospital calls me. They say
there is someone who wants to talk to you. I was shocked. I did not want to
hear any bad news. Thanks to the good lord, he did not give me what I didn’t wanted
to hear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">It was the parents of the girl on the call and they
were happy to inform about their daughter. She was back to normal after the
surgery. <b>Ah! That was the moment which told me—hey look, your blood is flowing
in someone else’s body aswell.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Next thing I hear is a sweet <b>Thank you, you saved my life</b> from the girl herself. Tears rolled
down my cheeks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Controlling my emotions, I told myself—Thank you
god, you have shown me a way to give a gift called life though I am not a
doctor. Thanks to all those who are working towards this noble cause.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">PS: Inspired by a true incident which happened to me
and my husband recently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 107%;"><b>Donate Blood, Save a life!</b></span></div>

you be for the next generation? All I get back in return for my question is “A

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">She
was rushing to catch a train to Mysore. That evening Bangalore was crazily
crowded due to heavy rains and Shwetha was about to miss her Train. In a hassle
she reached the station and just then, the train moved. She ran like Kareena
Kapoor in Jab We Met. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">A
strong hand pulled her in. She fell on his muscled chest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">She
woke up in a great shock, while she grabbed the water and drank it up in a
single breath. This was because Shwetha hated to miss something or in this case
miss someone!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">She
exclaimed, Oh!! No!! I miss the dream, why dint it continue?? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">-----------------------<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Meanwhile
in another world, Ram held her tight in his arms when she was about to miss the
train. Her rosy lips by mistake touched his tough arms as it shivered and murmured.
Her tender touch, her wide twinkling eyes saw him in astonishment. She was shy,
embarrassed and dint know what to do next. She pushed his manly arms away,
thanked him without lifting her head and ran to her seat. Ram followed his Sita
as he fell in Love with her in the first sight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">A
loud honk woke Ram up and he could not believe that he was dreaming, it was all
so evident. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">No
way!! I was not dreaming. I can’t let her go!! He exclaimed with great regret.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">-----------------------<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Well,
next evening it so happened that Shwetha and Ram had to travel to Mysore.
Shwetha was all excited and on purpose she was a little late than usual to
catch her train which she never did before. Ram was waiting near the door to
pull his Sita in. Both were so excited to meet each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">That
day train was late and as usual Shwetha was early. She dint miss the train, he
dint pull her in. Dream shattered?? I guess NO!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">-----------------------<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">They
sat in their respective compartments and stared to narrate their stories to
their friends and each other’s voice was loud enough to be heard for next two
compartments. With all exaggeration they concluded by yelling, if he or she was
here, I would marry him or her without wasting a minute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Ram
and Shwetha were just continuing their dreams. Did they hear? Did they meet?
Let me leave it to the Destiny!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">-----------------------<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">I
have heard this quote “Somewhere in the world, another man is dreaming the life
you have”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">This
leaves me with several thoughts. Is our broken dream continued by another? Will
we ever meet a person who explains his or her dreams and it was the exact half
of your broken dream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">With
high hopes, let us keep those dreams dreaming and try to search that mysterious
someone!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The day before you came, our home was empty. The day you
left us, our home and hearts are empty!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your cry was filled as a soothing tune in nook and corner of
our home, your little feet was struggling to carry those heavy golden
anklets. Your Barbie doll looks, your
big eyes, your tender palms, words fall short to describe you my lovely
daughter. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The joy me and your mother shared when we brought you home
is inexplicable. Each sentence was started and ended with you in it. Your
naughtiness, the way you made us run around you. How much should I cry to get
back those irreplaceable moments? You just took all those and much more awaited
happiness in just a blink. What made you think that we deserve this? Oh dear,
oh dear!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your mother is thrown apart today. How will I console her?
What will I console her as, when for sure I know you are not coming back to us?
What else does she need apart from you in her life? There is no hope that I can
build in her. I wish you understood the situation I am in. Being a man doesn't
mean I am strong enough to handle this. Oh dear, oh dear!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope you are seeing us beg for an answer, look at our thirst
to know about your hard decision. I want to steal that moment of haste. I want
to go back and give a solution for that question which made you end your life.
Time has flown and will never come back. Though we dint give birth to you, we
thought of a life only with you. Oh dear, Oh dear!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As parents we always wish you the best wherever you are. Waiting
for the day which answers your misery. Only thing we know is to hold on to your
memory. Rest in peace you beautiful soul. Oh dear, Oh dear!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Again the home is empty, again our hearts are empty!!<o:p></o:p></div>

PS: Dedicated to all those who are suffering because of teen
suicides, without even knowing the reason for their loved ones death. <o:p></o:p></div>

We hardly get a life filled with happiness. Live life to the
fullest. Explore, Enjoy and Challenge life. Never kill it yourself.<o:p></o:p></div>
