Death? why this fuss about death. Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil." Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

"I am just another man in the crowd. I was born in a humble family...just like any body else. I had dreams as any child would have. I am a common man. As a child of five I cried for a choc or an ice cream my mom although didn't have a paisa made an effort to get me one whenever I cried. Few days passed she had to leave her dream job as I was too playful and couldn't be left all alone. I grew up to be a handsome man. I had my own style my mom had a wrong choice that made my friends laugh at my attire. I tried to tell her by slitting of my new shirt that she had got me for Christmas, although she hadn't bought for herself for years. When I was 24, I f ell in love with a girl; I didn't bother to ask her consent. She didn't want to disappoint me. She sold all her belongings to make my wedding a grand success. When I was 30, I had an opportunity to fly abroad. I made her proud by leaving her all alone in the native land. Those ears never heard my voice for years to come, those eyes were fixed on the snap of my graduation... when she was sick she called me to come and visit her once I hung up the call by telling her its not possible as I was too busy and would hamper my career. A year passed I got a call again but this was form my neighbor she called to inform me that she was dead. I reached home on time to see her sleep so peacefully. But those hands didn't move to hug me tight to her breast. Neither did those eyes water to see me back after so long. Her lips had forgotten the art of loving kiss. I realized that I had lost her for. ...LIFE."

This is life. It is more painful than Death. Death closes the door to the outer world and takes you chivalrously to a world of tranquility and sanctity. It's not the end but yet another journey to a life that has all the joys that the world cannot give.

Life would have been comparatively better if and only if we had made it special to our near and dear ones. Give them a hug when they need one, listen to their story though it may be irritating; spend a minute or two to tell them how special they are. Make them happy because, the day you want to spend some time, one of you may be missing. As Isaac Asimov says "Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome." An individual, no super power can help can change the transition. It's your own effort.

Do not awh at the thing that is unvarying. Celebrate death as its freedom, a separation from grief, failure, and agony.
