Who am I??
It was one of the best days of my life. I was happy and flying away in glory. Then there it was. Life struck back cruelly and my whole world came collapsing at my feet. The pain of a thousand stabbing knives, acute and sharp, it was unbearable and unthought of. I lay there crooked crying in pain. Nobody listened to and nobody bothered. Forget about getting up, I couldn’t even move limbs. Looked around to find one of my broken legs lying there 2cms away. Oh God! I cried in horror. Help! Help! I cried in vain.
Suddenly a gusty wind forced me to a different place. Difficult to breathe, for the first time I experienced death so closely. Now I was lying at a different corner, still struggling to live. Almost everyday we encounter death but we know the tricks to escape. Such is life, a mishmash of hope and despair. Now we live, the very next moment we don’t. In the blink of an eye life slips out of our hand and we stand there looking at our lifeless body. We live for no wish of ours and we die for no fault of ours.
