This is my state when I came know news touching to two extreme facets of creation, in a gap of an hour. Yes, the two extremes of death and birth. Death of my friend, another friend been blessed with a baby boy.
One of my friends met with an accident on 15th of Aug, was hospitalized, and he left his last breath in the late hours of 16th Aug. Given that his marriage was scheduled on 25th Aug, its even more painful. I only pray, he realizes his soul (if not already) atleast in his next birth.
To the other extreme, another friend was blessed with a baby boy, during the early hours of 16th Aug. Again, I can only pray, the new born realizes himself in this birth and breaks the cycle.
Both these incidents, though happened with some time gap, came to me within a hour of difference. As of now, my mind is going vary with weird feelings unable to express itself, feeling both pain and happiness or may be neither of them. I can't even say.
The most weird part is, I am here, still writing this blog, dont know what this means!! May be I am still with the false ego (this post is filled with words 'I', 'me', 'my') that I am gonna live forever and, I am above life and death. My brain does understand that success and failure are both, sides of the same coin. But even after watching so many births and deaths of various living beings around it, it does not understand that life and death are merely two points in the journey of realizing the self. My brain is really really dumb.

would like to post few lines from steve jobs'stanford speech -
-----------------
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few
more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more
certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants
to die.
Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death
is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,
because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It's Life's change agent.
It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday
not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry
to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.

" Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow is a Mystery,
but..
Today is a Gift...
and thts why it is called Present !!! "
And since its a gift... we never know whats there inside it...
but one thing is certain...
our universe has to be balanced... and so shud our joys and sorrows...
May his soul rest in peace...
All blessings with the baby boy...
