The Unpredictable Life


The Unpredictable Life




His body was lying cold and lifeless on the hospital bed. It seemed as if he had attained absolute peace. His wounds were not healed, but they didn't hurt anymore. It looked like he had made peace with his wounds and broken bones; the wounds decided to not hurt him anymore either.


The scenario was exactly the opposite around his lifeless body. He was at peace but the people who were in love seemed to have lost all the peace.


A grieving mother asking his son to wake up. The broken bones were ready to cause discomfort again once he wakes up, but he decided to not wake up from his peaceful sleep. 


A sister standing beside her mother, trying hard to console her but failed miserably in controlling her own grief. 


A brother who did all he could to save him had nothing left to say or do other than to hide his tears and stand still like a pillar to not let the family fall. All he could do now is to make arrangements for the last rites of his brother.


There stood one more breathing but a lifeless body. She seemed to have lost all her emotions and her eyes reflected the pain which failed to come out as tears. She was suffering silently, yet loud enough to make the walls of the hospital cry.


Will society see her pain or will she be blamed for her husband’s death?


A mother will never receive answers to her calls, a sister will never be able to tie Rakhi on the wrist of her brother.


A girl who had many dreams at the time of her marriage, all her dreams have been broken into pieces that can never be fixed within four months of her marriage.


A father will cry his heart out for the first time for a son who’ll never come to wipe up his tears. A pet who’ll never know why his master never returned home and betrayed him.


None of this is the end of their lives. Then what is the end? Is death the only end?


Ironically, death is the reality of LIFE.


They say, we come alone in the world and so do we leave.


But when a child is born, doesn’t it bring happiness with its birth? And when death arrives, it takes not only one life, but it also takes all the happiness related to the person in one or the other way.


Leaving this world can sometimes be the easiest thing for a person but for the ones who have no other option than to live had already opted for the most painful and toughest option. It is a pain that may not be visible after a few months from when it occurred, but it still resonates within those still alive.


The void in their hearts will remain until and unless death visits them, and then it will be passed on to someone else.  

  



The tears will dry up one day but their wounded hearts will never be able to repair their walls as one brick will remain missing forever.


Death is irreversible and so is the destruction caused.

The Desolated Soul

  The Desolated Soul You know it's hurting when the smile has abandoned your way; You know it’s hurting when you don’t have words to say. You know it’s hurting when you spend all day sleeping; You know it’s hurting when you can’t put an end to weeping. It is the chapter of our lives which some of us have left behind; It is the chapter of our lives which some of us are still writing. Isn't this an ordinary depiction of normal human survival which some of us have left behind and some are still trying? Hurting is a part of life like gaiety. The only difference is the first one comes effortlessly and refuses to pass. You have to endeavor to heal and still there will be a trigger point which may ruin all your efforts. The second one is arduous to bring off and goes within a blink of an eye. How does pain feel like? It feels cold even if you have swaddled yourself with a duvet. It does not let you sleep even after shutting your eyes for an eternity.  When you find yourself hurting, ...

The less starry and more cloudy Night

  The less starry and more cloudy Night The timekeeper showed 2 a.m. I was sitting on a chair in the veranda and gazing at the dark, less starry and more cloudy sky. I realized the movies have romanticized the night sky too much. They say that a night sky without a moon, lots of stars and a love of your life by your side is not a beautiful one. But, this night changed my views. There were not many stars and neither the moon was visible distinctly, still it was alluring. I didn't have my one and only sitting beside me and gazing at the moon, instead I had my sister with me, and we were both quietly listening to the sounds which we were taking no notice of, since how long, even we didn't know. I realized the night sky needs not to be romantic always, it can be peaceful too as it is today. I looked at the roads, there wasn't any human or even a dog which was visible except the two of us. Still, the place was filled with a cold but gentle wind and lots and lots of silence. The ...
