The thought behind this one is also very weird like the ones behind my other posts. The other day I was watching the movie Delhi 6 and there was a scene in which Wahida Rehman (Abhishek Bachchan’s Dadi in the movie) is buying a vessel as part of a shopping spree she is on for her death and then Abhishek Bachchan says how can anyone go and shop or plan one’s own death and then himself counters that – We cannot decide how we are born but at least we can plan how we will want to die.
So that is when I wondered that I simply Love the Family I am born into, I am so glad to have my parents as my parents, not to forget my brothers but would it be wrong, stupid or sad to think how am I going to die.. Oh believe me.. I have imagined all kinds of uncanny ways in which I might. Since childhood, I have been very FILMY and every time I used to watch a Hindi Movie (knowing how melodramatic they all are) I would imagine my headache as some Brain Tumor or Cancer. Or probably one day I might just wake up and realise that I have Amnesia and I don't know who I am.. also, the famous hospital bed scenes where the patient is taking loooooong breathes as his/her last ones... Ya.. you are right I have always been a complete nautanki... !!
Anyhow(ya ya got drifted again), I am just thinking.. what is so Scary about death? Why such strange reactions while we mention it? Why is it considered so inauspicious? We all know that we were born and we will die one day.. Is it this knowledge of the end that horrifies us?
Fear of Heights: I might fall.. Fear from Water: I might drown.. Claustrophobia: I might choke.. Fear from animals even tiny-miny pests: They might be poisonous.. and "I might Die" - Is this not the core reason behind all these.. I just hope I always fight any kinds of fear I have (Though, I don't have any of these mentioned above.. :D ) So far what I fear most is being left alone and loosing my loved ones or people I care for.. (even because of so many other reasons than The Morbid End)
I have wondered what would I want - to be inscribed on my Gravestone or rather I should say My Photograph (as I am a Hindu) after I am gone.. (whenever that would be). Of course I have got so many Ideas like - The Fairy Tale Girl.. The Family Glue.. This ones the latest - I Love Luv Storys (inspired from the latest hindi movie).. but the one that wins over is "Always Loved".. and that is what I want till I live and even after that..
So my point here is - oh no no - I am not going on a shopping spree for my death, anytime soon (of course I can't guarantee anything for the future).. ;)
Even if we know its going to rain the day after, do we take out our umbrellas today? Even if we think that we might not win, do we stop participating in the Race? Even if we know we might not be loved back, do we stop loving? So what if we know that we will die some day, why to fear living today?
