A tribute...

One more day....one more death. People face this everyday somewhere sometime. But when it reaches you, your heart breaks. Death is inevitable, no one has ever defeated it. When it comes, it takes away your joys and sorrows. There is nothing left . Yesterday again it reached me..through my uncle's death. We use to call him Saila mama. I had already prepared myself for it long time back because he was not doing well. Doctors have told the family.

Nothing remains but the memories here and there. I remembered the roads of Jorethang, a small place in Sikkim where we use to go every winter on our winter holidays. There is my grand father's house. We use to visit the house every winter with my mom. And there we met our uncles. This uncle was always smiling and cracking jokes. Me and my sister use to hang on his hands and ask for money to buy sweets and snacks. Not that we were hungry but it was just pure fun. He always showed us his empty pockets but sometimes he use to give up and give us money after a lot of pestering.

Yesterday once again I came close to death, and thought about it. But as time passes, we all get adjusted to our world. We get ajusted to sadness, lonliness, being away from the family etc etc...Human beings are the greatest creation among all the living creations...they are gifted with emotions that helps them to face life. We have enormous strength to overcome any kind of disaster, unhappiness. We have strength to face death and overcome it. Our near and dear ones die and we feel so helpless but still we cope up with it and continue our lives.

I don't know what happens after death, but let his soul rest in peace wherever he may be. We will always miss you and you will always remain in our hearts.
