zindagi na milae

If death defined your life, you are blessed... For, you will always be on your toes trying to give your best. Sounds very philosophical and run of the mill statements. However, let me put it this way... If I were to die now!... Would I be storing passwords, would I be holding some secret possessions which I would have no control, whatsoever, after I have gone?

How sure am I about the span of my life? How sure of am I, of the people I meet everyday?

Zindagi na milae dubara... Make the most of it in a way that you wouldn't be ashamed of it when found out after you have left the stage.

How many times did we not feel the remorse for having got out in the police-thief game, early on? Seeing all others enjoying/expressing sorrow about the game while we are forced to sit on the sidelines! Life is also like that...

Before we realise, those whom we called uncles are no longer in the field and we are being addressed as such.

May be time to store more in the heart and less in the world.... More in spreading joy and less in acquiring it... More in giving rather than in seeking...

Zindagi....

True, kala kreedathi. Time and Death are also great levellers, they level the ground after the box is lowered. But consider this: it's also boring. Living a life in a way that gives death a run for its money, that would be one cool challenge. It'll have its bully win in the end, who cares. Lamps are smart. Lamps can be broken, light cannot be, so light many more lives. When Death does arrive, it'll have only a dead horse to flog.

kya hui, all eez well na, just fondly remembering Zoya Akhtar ? When we realize neighbourhood kids no more call you anna, thats when you have graduated, LoL. But there is still lots of hope till thatha, maha thatha, jagath thatha, iThatha and so on LoL. Every few years, we will have lots of chances to update the company privacy policy (pun intended) and release more and more proprietary code into the open source.
