The uncertainity of life

THE UNCERTAINITY OF LIFE

I really really wanted to have an ice cream,I was craving for it.My husband has just returned home after a hard day’s work and I did not want to bother him.But he sensed that I was wanting something and talked me out into divulging it to him and when I told him,he was up on his feet to get me what I wanted.He has taken special care of me since the news of my pregnancy.Both of us are elated and eagerly awaiting the birth of our first child.3 more months and we would be blessed with a beautiful and healthy child.I hope that he looks like his father,the person I love the most and have loved for the past seven years.It wasn’t easy for us to convince our parents to get us married as we belonged to different communities but v were adamant and ultimately they had to give in.The memories of our wedding day flood my mind when the phone rings.I reach for the phone and see that it is a call from my husband.I wonder that he must be calling to as me which flavor I wanted to have.I take the call and an unrecognizable voice speaks on the other end,”your husband has had an accident,he died on the spot.We are taking him to the city hospital.”

And I could not believe what I had heard.I tried to register it all in my mind as tears flowed down my face.my happiness,my love,my husband,the father of my child, my life had benn stolen away from me and I could not brin him back by any means.as I dropped down to the floor I felt as if someone had stabbed me right in my heart.And yes I wanted to die ,to go to the grave with him,I wanted it all to end ,my life had ended,my existence had ended…………..

But it does not.Life does not end with the loss of a person or thing.It goes on and we are forced to live it without that person.Easy or difficult but we continue to go ahead with our life,wake up each day and sleep each night,eat and work.Nothing stops ,everything goes on as it should be.

But how much can we trust our life or for that matter the lives of our near and dear ones.With so many young people having heart attacks,increasing accidents and natural calamities ,the life of a person is nothing but left to chance and luck.It is a gamble and people can place bets on whether I will be living tomorrow or not.

I do not know what happens next with me,whether I land up in a hospital or at d gates of the lord begging mercy for my sins or life just goes on as routine.It is this unertainity which keeps us on our toes,which makes life exciting and thrilling but on the other side of it,it is this uncertainity which when strikes can devastate those close to us ,can bring about a major change in their lives and force them to alter the course of their being.

We cannot do away with this but we can try to make what little days we have happy and beautiful for ourselves and those around ud.Live our life to have no regrets,take calculated risks and bring smiles on the faces of people around us.Take each day as it comes nd try to make it memorable,do all that we love to do and love our life.This is only what is in our hands as the uncertainity always lingers on anything and everything we do and we have no choice but to keep living with the uncertainity of our life…….
