Sometimes something happens around you and your mind gets so bothered with so many questions/anger/disgust/and a slew of other things.Trust me, something happened today,something like that and it was amazingly awful.

There was this lady who I used to address as my aunt,because she was really a gem of a human.
She did not have any family because dint get married and then she used to stay all alone.
All of a sudden suffered a brain hemorrhage ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemorrhage ) , in simple language she died of hypertension.

Today in the morning when I went for cremation I saw something which is not rare – people crying loudly and a lot of melodrama of sorts ( I’d really like to use that word here )
The thing that I was wondering about was ,where were these people when the person was alive and so much in existence. Not a single soul came to appreciate or even be part of her life while she was alive. All I saw was people abusing each other and wishing for the downfall of other.
Trust me most of us are like -”hey how is that friend of yours…XYZ..”" and the answer comes..”Don’t even take his name..he is such a $#@!## ”
And the very next morning, if that XYZ was to depart from earth…we would become so humble,sombre,sober,human – wow the epitome of hypocrisy !

Common statements heard at such places:-

  • “He/She was such a nice person” – ( then why dint you ever care enough to tell him/her the same ever )
  • “Its all because of doctors/son/family/business” – (then why didn’t you ever care to talk to him )
  • “Death is inevitable it has to come” – ( then why are you so wrapped up in all these material things around you )

And the list is endless.I know I am sounding angry,trust me I am and more than that disgusted.

All I want to say is that why do we remember the good things about a person only when he/she is dead ?
All of us are creation of the same father of the universe and still we are so much self centred.

“I am the epicenter of this universe”
Why don’t we love each other till the time we are alive ?
You know what, your love for me would have made my world such a better place to live….

I’m short of words to express myself, really.

P.S. Please love each other till the time we are alive !

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

    Hi Anshul,

    It is sad…very very sad…we are all conditioned to act in hypocritical ways…there is very little observable “real” in our social reality…

    I do not know whether the tears people shed when someone dies are real or not, but it is true that we the people are getting more self centered by the day.

    But that is where our responsibility begins.

    Keep up the good writing.

      I really feel at times either we are the biggest fools to not to have recognized our moral responsibilities or we are the biggest hypocrites.

      really pisses me off..

    Hey Anshul,

    I love the imagery you create with your raw narration of events.
    I love the realism factor in both your writing and your ability to speak the heart.

    I am looking forward the next one :)

    That’s the harsh reality. At the cremation every one becomes philosophical. But that doesn’t turn into action. Leave implementing such thoughts into actions, wait for about an hour or so of cremation the talk turns to the normal stuff- politics, business, sports,bickering. I think that is what we are accustomed to & doing it doesn’t require effort.

      is it the reality or have we become selfish and self centred????…or rather hypocrites?

    hey it was great to read that some people still have a heart to feel for others and question the hypocrisy upfront which many realize but fail to give a second thought as all us are busy and single mindedly working towards the accomplishment of goals that define us as a person. YEAH REALITY BITES
