SANDS of TIME





Have always remembered,seeing him amidst people,all the time.Actively involved in the thick of things.Surely someone, always on the move

But today,when i look at him,he seems so unlike the person i had known him to be.For whenever i look at him he is always,home all the time,sitting at one place for hours at a stretch.The things that have transpired over the years with him,can vaguely be justified as a simple LIFE transforming experience.

Though it must be common for people to be undergoing changes in some of their perspective of life,after having gone through some really testing experiences,like for him it came about,in the form of the accident...But the difference is,his ordeal still continues even after this long,.Just 3  months,falling short of  completing,5 years of his ordeal ,and that being a good part of his life.For he was just of 23 years,when he got involved in this misfortune

But ask him,how he would describe this experience, and the reply would be  "unfortunate","sad"&"glad".Well, am certain of his reply,for i am that person,in this context

And all this while,when my physical self was taking a real beating,and because of it,he had to endure the difficulties,which would reveal itself, at every step(not just literally).But its only now that i realize that life,was getting me inured with the constant bad experiences and the lessons and the things pertaining to it..

The accident happened,for no fault of mine.My life was spoilt,but couldn't have left it,at that,had to move on,for i was no LOSER
LESSON -LIFE is very un-predictable,at times it  will terribly go wrong,.And when it does,accept it,and deal with it

At home for the past almost 5 years,with no freedom to eat what,when you feel like or do things your way or to be going places of your choice,and 5 years is a long time,to be staying devoid of these basic things
LESSON - Value the small things,we take for granted and at the same time was learning PATIENCE

People close,having left me at a very crucial juncture,in my life,which left me bogged down,for a long time
LESSON - Don't be dependent on,unworthy people

Not many were there,when i truly needed.And because of the select few,have survived these years
LESSON - people who talk,like they care for you.They may not even care,if you are around or not.Know your true friends and live for them

Been nice all my life and thought,had friends,who cared.But only now do i know,there were a lot of pretenders
LESSON - Never pretend,atleast i won't,never and ever

People,have and had been treating me very badly these years,but have again and again met them with a smile.Being at the receiving end of fate,there is no room for ones true feelings
LESSON - FORGIVENESS

Only parents being around all the time at my, worst
LESSON -Parents,only be there by you,whatever the situation must be,the rest may keep varying,Know their importance and live for them

Seen the concern on people's faces,when i used to say the true pains and difficulties..
LESSON  - Soak your pain,no point in getting others feel sad,because of it

People seldom have said that i was doing good,but the self belief that i was, and could see off this phase,has helped me spend the time from my accident on{ 7th june 2006 - till now} in miseries,with a great spirit and keeping the true essence of my personal self intact,and according to me adding more energy,life and vibrance
LESSON - Self belief, a great tool

Was really helpless..beyond description
LESSON -always help,the helpless

Expecting favors from others,and just gaining disappointment
LESSON - Never expect

These years have only,thrived on favors.,from others.And an important thing about favors is,you don't have a BIG say in the way it is done.Was just thankful,its been done
LESSON -Adjusting to situations,and be appreciative.

Seeing life is,in the real darkness and being miserable and helpless
LESSON - feel for others pain,and  not just feel,do something to ease that pain

Constantly have been seeing,a lot survival tale documentaries,and have seen people's life ending in a positive and happy way
LESSON - Time's change

And the culmination of my years of suffering,have resulted in, me loving LIFE, cherishing the small things that life has to offer,possessing more humane qualities and many-many more,unmentioned qualities..And this transcended self is just waiting to,LEAP.......


THE ULTIMATE LESSON -
         LIFE IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE , SO LIVE IT....

    Very inspirational. You have taken the high road since your accident, and you should be proud of that...not everyone does.
