What a beginning of the week this has been!!! I now have experienced what Life is all about...
Sunday midnight, my sister got admitted to the hospital and while I was on my way to the office on Monday, I got a call from Mysore that I need to go there to the hospital for the delivery of my sister's baby. I inform my office folks and I ride down to Mysore just to note that she has not got the severe labour pain that is required for a normal delivery and the doctor has decided to wait. Me and my mom waited for 6 hours and then, @ 19:10, she was blessed with a baby boy. But due to some complications, the baby was retained in the Neo-Natal ICU and my sis was sent to the ward. The baby was given to us only the next morning i.e., Tuesday Morning by 9 AM.
After spending just one hour with the baby, I started towards Bangalore and came directly to my office, thinking that I'll go home directly from office after completing my office work. Life made it otherwise..
I got a call last evening that my Aunt (Dad's sister) expired. She was a person who had taken care of me and many more such kids from day one and she was a selfless soul. Her demise, though was expected, made me feel so miserable that I was unable to do anything. I rushed to her house to pay my last respects to her, spent the night there without sleeping, accompanied her to the crematorium and then went home to get fresh, change and come to office.
What is life, it is a cycle of birth and death.. and I saw it all within two days!!!
I'm again asking why??? Though we know that Life is only this, why are we having so many wishes or being dependent on others or causing pain / hurt to others?? I just do not understand!
