From Birth to Death...

While my dear husband flirts with my best friend on her birthday, here I am trying to divert my mind elsewhere and hence write this post to capture my thoughts of last few days. :-) It isn't everyday that you get to see him flirting like that...so whenever he does, I enjoy it to the core.

By the way, Happy Birthday Jlo. You know I love you and I would always do. And you also know that no matter what, I ma there with you - today and always. (Wow, that's a great committment. I love it when I say something like this. I know I will live upto it....through thick and thin). And the best part is...she knows it too.....

Let's start with the goody goody - last week was great when I met my old friend of 16 years....the week ended with a party at Odessey. Wine, beer and dance - that's all we do at official parties. They liked my enthu for the dance I guess and gave me the best dancer among women (I won a 'lunch for two' at Trident Hilton). Since Manish was in Singapore the whole of last week, I left Mishi at Sonu's place. Knowing that she will take care of her, I was longer than usual at the party in Odessey.

Saturday was awesome - great weather and great rains. Someone once told me it was good to get wet in rains...I thought of feeling it..and out I went in the balcony. The rains were slant and I had a great time getting wet and enjoying the rains...this followed by a painting on a glass of a woman in shades of oranges and fushia...did not come out very good but am sure I will do something to make it look good.

Sunday went by in preparing lunch for bhaiya and bhabhi...and spending time with them...evening watched Partner at home...Whatever is wrong with David Dhawan - it was a major put off.

In between these days, went into deep thoughts...thinking about life in general and how my life has changed in recent months...drastically I would say...I changed or something else changed or someone else changed or circumstances changed...watever - it is peaceful. Much at peace.

Today, for the first time, went to a crematorium in Delhi - My business leader's father passed away yesterday...today was the cremation. That atmosphere is so different - in minutes you realize the importance of your life and those living around you. AT times, you take everything for granted...including life. It is there now, and in another minute, it may not be. Folks, make the best of it. Enoy and live every second of it. Who knows what is in store. Spend time with people you love, talk to them, say good things to them, spend memorable time with them. Life is too short - just too short. I guess it only takes few minutes under electric cremation and couple of hours in the other...what comes out of you are those ashes.....there is nothing that you leave as your 'legacy' except those thoughts of you in other's minds. It is the respect, the love, the fondness that you develop over the years with people around you that really matters...no money, no mansions, no cars...no nothing! Sometimes, it is really good to come to terms with the basic fact of life - Death. Everyone who is here, will go one day....not a good thought to start the day with...but I guess that's what life is all about...accepting realities as they come. Fighter. Be a fighter, always!
