Knowing death
i was fortunate (so to say), not to have witnessed anyone's death in my life... but, in recent times, i have witnessed two of my relatives' death... i have seen it more closely than others might see it... one of them died in an accident and i was there when his postmortem was being carried out while other died of heart attack and i was there when she was being cremated... and i met both of them, just one day before their death... they were so alive, so full of worldly feelings like tension, happiness, sorrow, joy, jealousy etc.... never would have they predicted their death... and so peaceful their face looked when dead, as if they were fast asleep... i was expecting DEATH to frighten me, it didn't... on the contrary, i liked it... if death can make you sooooo peaceful, i would love to fix up a date with my death as soon as possible :) just joking.... i want to live... live life to the fullest,,, i want to be happy and sad, want to make love to my lover and want to love my loved ones, i want to feel alive before i stop "feeling" and be eternally "peaceful".... but, i m not afraid of death... not at all... and now i love my life so much more :)

hi pal...
read ur "knowing death" thoughts..wow...completely agree with u...and can relate with all that u've written..i guess i'm also not afraid of to die but only after actually living, till i'm alive...
to laugh, cry, feel the happiness and pain..burn in the sun and dance in the rain.....before its time to say goodbye...
There are a few lines which i had read somewhere and really liked:
"Because it has lived its life intensely
the parched grass still attracts the gaze of passers-by.
The flowers merely flower,
and they do this as well as they can.
The white lily, blooming unseen in the valley,
Does not need to explain itself to anyone;
It lives merely for beauty...."
I guess we should also be living 'merely' for living....
tk cr....
Jags
and so peaceful their face looked when dead, as if they were fast asleep...
very well written blog... touching.
very well written ... touching ,i had the same feeling when i saw my parents death.After looking @ their faces , i felt The Death as gorgeous moment
