Kal ho na ho.....

Well this post is not a review of the SRK flick which came few years back, this is more about the literally meaning of this sentence. Today I was reading someone's blog about Ishmeet Singh, the winner of last year's VOI reality show, who very unfortunately died yesterday while swimming at one of the hotel in Maldives where he had gone for a concert. Well I din't remember the exact words of that blog but the message that the blogger wanted to convey touched me a lot and scared me too.
I have come across the same message a lot of times before too and everytime it made me think about it but never scared me this much.
What the blogger wanted to convey citing Ishmeet's incidence was that life is very unpredictable. One day you are on the top of this world and the very next day you are indeed literally at top of this world. When we are alive we are too busy with our daily chores that we forget to live. We forgot to tell people how much they matter to us, how much we love them, how much we care for them. We don't do a lot of things that we would love to do, things that will give us pleasure and make us happy. And before we do or realise all this we are no longer there in this world.
I mean with the kind of things happening around the world nowadays no one can say for sure that when they leave home in the morning they will be savely back in the evening. You never know where there will be a bomb blast happening or you can never gurantee that flyover that you are going below will not fall on your head crushing you instantly or you will meet with an accident which occured because of no fault of yours. Ok I know it sounds too pessimistic but thats the truth. You never know when will you meet your end. At that time, all the things that we are left to tell to our loved ones will be buried along with us. All the things we want to do will be left undone.
I am also one of those guys who is so full of things to do but is quite content in letting things happen on there own. If I will have to say then I will say that I don't have the courage or motivation to do things. I know its just a lame excuse but I always believe that may be I don't have that courage but others on reading this may gather that courage or motivation to do all the things they want to do. May be they will go and tell people how much they love them or they are sorry for hurting them. They will again get in touch with their lost friends before its too late.

I came across a quote few days back which was about taking pictures which goes like this "Your birth certifcate tells that you were born, your death certificate tells that you died but it is the photos that you take that tells that you lived". So I improvised it in this way to ask everyone a question "Your birth certifcate tells that you were born, your death certificate tells that you died but what is there that will tell that you lived ?"

So guys get up.. live life before its too late....Har pal yahan jee bar jiyo, jo hai Shama..Kal Ho na Ho ....

Enjoy life...

    Let me say a very interesting observation even I din't thought it was contradicting.
    Ok the things I am talking about here are the things that although important but are something you can do without like learning guitar, doing some voluntary work or going on an adventurous expedition all alone etc.
    So these are something that I want to do for myself , that one year back attitude is for things that will also effect a lot of people.(I know voluntary work is one of them but that needs a hell lot of motivation)

    Well, there is this book by famous guy "Dale Carnegie" .."how to stop worrying and start living" ..yeah , yeah , sounds very preaching , but read it and you'll know how it talks of the very basic facts of our life, ignored so very well by us.What I like the most about is "Living one day a time"..live like oits the only day in your life ..who knows if there is a tomorrow?Do evrything you want ..today ....

    @Deeksha - And do you follow that ?? I mean the point is we all know everything or have at least heard or read about such motivational things but what matters is whether we do that or not.
