My Rebirth ....... really

When ever people come across a downfall in life, they remember God. This is true for sure because I did the same too at the time of the fall. But in my case this downfall is literally meant a fall.

January 26^th 2010, as if I was isolated from the world, stayed all day in home. But as the day was almost ending my roomies proposed to go out for some Chinese dinner and we decided to go. Got ready to go and went down stairs to the vehicle. As we reached the ground floor I took the shortcut through the parking lot which turned out to be a long journey costing me thousands of medical bills and complimented with a week of bed rest, not to forget the horrible pain still going on.

What happened in that 40ft journey made me realize life is short and to live it by the minute. That day as I was walking through the parking lot in the darkness of the lightless night, I accidentally stepped on one corner of the slightly open dome of10ft deep water tank. What happened next was a matter of 20 seconds loss of memory recalled later.

When I recalled the instance, I could see the square dome raising and hitting me in the stomach then locking into my ribs as I was sliding into the tank. Subconsciously I took hold of the dome pushed against it to stop me falling into the tank. As a result of the heavy hit in the rib area I was struggling to breathe, luckily passers by noticed me and came to my rescue. They got me pulled me out not noticing the dome’s position. It rolled back and hit me again in the abdomen and nee. What were happened made me feel that only the present minute of time is yours so live it. Today I am still left with lots of blood colts in the stomach and abdomen area due to the internal bleeding caused by the hit.

The day which made my life special...

This is a bit …. Or quiet a bit late to write about this day. But it meant a lot to me and I didn’t want to risk giving it a miss in my digital memory line.

This time of the year, it is about discount sales, gifts from friends, dawn to dusk parties, midnight family time, calls, sms’s and what not to list of the peppy life. For me, till last year, the best of these made the day special, but this time it was different. I came across a completely different and surprising other side of this New Year day. This time I got the real meaning of New Year, it’s about hope for the best to happen, putting your past to rest.

It’s about change you want your life to go through. It’s about finding yourself in the process of goal setting or taking resolutions. It’s all about soul rebirth at one point.

Wait a minute, what made me see all this, this year, when it was there around me but was invisible to me? A simple, innocent, pure, lively smile is the answer. Where did I find this?

This year I and my friends celebrated our new year with the children of a children home which we were supporting through our NGO, Sanhita Maitri. Smiles on the faces of these kids are a gift back to us for the long year and also for a start of a great year. We distributed new clothes to these kids while we had celebrations with Cake, Sweets, Chocolates and what not.
