Strange Feeling..


It’s a co-incidence, today that after settling at my desk in office, I find my colleague keeping sweet box at my neighbour's desk telling her to inform the floor about him becoming a father and he wants to share his happiness with everyone. Before I could congratulate, I received a call from my Mom who gave a shocking news. A 3 year old girl (who was our neighbour 6 months back...now that we have shifted) passed away. My shock was very intense as I had visited the girl at the hospital yesterday and she seemed fine. Obviously she was looking pale, but not like death was round the corner to gulp her.

I had witnessed two extremes of what we call LIFE. Where in one seems to be a joyous occasion and other seems to be a never ending suffering. Our feeling for both these situation is overwhelming in its own way. We need to accept the Truth – Death is as real as Birth. If birth is taken for granted, so should death be. If birth is taken happily so should death be. But since we are human and not the enlightened being its difficult to be like that.

My take on - to avoid being painful from departure (which is the ultimate truth) - Never get attached. Never get bonded to any material or person. May be this will help to reduce the pain.

I am still not able to come to terms about accepting that she is no more, that I will not be able to see her ever again. It is a very nasty punishment from God to take such a beautiful life that he created, but I believe that God plans everything for Good and it will take time to understand that. Time will tell.

I mourn on her departure and here is a note that my brother just jotted down as he was so upset by this unfortunate happening.


Nothing is running in my head dear..... i don't know....i am feeling very low...

What did that kid do so wrong?
Is it, because she threw her doll?
Throw a tantrum for very long
Or she ran instead of taking a stroll

Innocent was the sweet face
Scared to approach strangers
With her mumma, at every place
No one knew of the oncoming dangers

She did not know what came next
Played all the time to her content
Mother gave all the love to her best
Took her away the lord, no precedent

Shattered is the home, with no laughter
Shattered is the heart, of the mother
Hope keeps all of them alive, after disaster
Hope keeps all of them, waiting for her brother


Note: To all the readers from Bangalore – She was admitted in Sagar Apollo Hospital and treated by a famous Pediatrician who is related to Mr. Benkappa. Please don’t risk putting any of your loved ones there. This is my personal opinion.
