certainly-uncertain

Two major incidents in past 42 days one of the Jet going missing and other the Ferry Sinking down have forced me to think deeply about today and the way we handle situations in life, they have certainly also taught me to relish every moment spent with my loved ones even more than before. Though I would refrain from thinking anything negative but a thought often crosses my mind whenever the flight doors are closed. What if this is my last conversation with my loved one, have I conveyed all my love and care. Have I asked for forgiveness for the ones whom I hurt intentionally or un intentionally, have I forgiven them who had hurt me or am I still carrying baggage of past. As I write this blog I remember I had written two blogs in the past, which are in same context but I am forced to right it back again because at times it’s important to remember and revise this basic rule of life, “ the only certainty of life is that it’s uncertain”. The only truth to every beginning is that there will be an end.

 You would only be known for the way you end up things and how you accept these ends. Your end too would bring a new beginning and that would be dependent on what you leave behind. Your image would fade down with time but words would be alive. Your physical presence would turn to absence but your deeds would be Omni present. There would come that moment of truth when you would certainly realize the uncertainty of life and its cruelty, but I just hope in that moment too you have a smile on your face which says “I have lived it all for survival was just not my standard”.
