Few recent events have jolted me out of a self induced lethargy
We take so many things and people for granted in life and procrastinate many stuff
There are few people around us ,relationships we build by chance. They are not our own blood,may not be the so called our type..but some unknown magic makes them an integral part of our life,and during a phase they become instrumental in our forward climb, sometimes guiding us in front, sometimes walking with us,sometimes the much needed motivational push from behind and sometimes all of these..
We happily savour their presence ,pass through the phase,and when life takes turns and their presence takes a backseat or even become a distant memory,we recline to our lethargy of routines and the hustle of chores with an exclamation that life is like that,we cannot have everyone all the time,people are busy. The hours spent together dwindles down to occasional phone calls,text messages which further goes to once in a blue moon thoughts of the person and we may drop a text ..Sometimes the fond memories come by and we shrug them off with Should catch up. Sometimes we nurse small grudges, let them also create enormous walls between ,unresolved differences cause even more relationships to fade away..
NO,this is not how life is,this is not how life should be! Every person whom we meet,who leaves a mark in our life needs to be cherished daily. When we let the magic and excitement of the initial bonding fade, we conveniently avoid confronting the thoughts especially if there is a rift involved..And suddenly you hear the person is no longer there.. No matter how much you try, no matter how you much you wish you cannot hear that voice one last time, we cannot see that smile when we call their names,we cannot let them know how much they mean to us..And you realise that all the fond memories ,all the love we have ...all the nonsense grudges we nursed no longer have meaning..because the person who owns them does not know it anymore..
Cherish the people in your life,however small or big their part in your life is..Make that call,daily if needed ,send that text message more than once,say you love them everytime you speak..Its better than writing an obituary.
