SEPT 02 2010...the day that sends shivers down my spine every time i think about it......It was like any other day on which we had internals in coll.....studying 2 to 3 hours before the internals in shanky's house had become a default thing for me, rajesh aman and shanky himself...we had been doing it for the past 2 years...so there was no tension and thoughts like..."shit only 3 more hours and we haven't studied anything"never cropped up in our mind cause we knew we would somehow manage to score decent enough marks....
But why am i talking about all this if it were so normal and stuff...God had other plans on that day...a lesson..an experience...a loss and more importantly a reminder to everyone of us.."To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.".
As we opened our books which read..."what is object oriented development?? "and all we did after reading it was look at each other and give an expression of..."why the hell are we studying this shit" and slowly studies took the back seat and pulling each others legs and talking nonsensical things ....the phone in the hall rung and once the conversation was over...shanky was a little tensed....on being asked he told us that his dad was hospitalized after suffering an heart attack....don't worry maga we said...everything will be fine....there were few seconds of silence and all of us could feel the negative feelings that were creeping into our minds and i personally tried my best to distract myself from getting such thoughts...
But as i said God had other plans....i don't want to talk about the series of events that occurred after the news of uncle's demise :(....i don't even know if it is right on my part talking about it here and i don't want to hurt anyone out there but somewhere i feel it is best to share one's experience...some of the lessons i learned that day were
1. Never take things in life for granted!!
2. Everything happens for a reason!!
3. Let the person ,whom you love, know how much you love them each and everyday!
that is because you never know "IF TOMORROW WILL EVER COME" what if "TOMORROW NEVER COMES??"
just think about it....
