Life - An *Unknown* Journey

We all are moving at a very fast pace leaving everything behind us. Keep on running behind life, for life, whatever you may want to say….
Running so fast and suddenly something happens..something stucks to you..it is that something which halts you, make you stop, making you realize that there is something more than what we live, how we live.
A sudden shock in your life and your life just stops for probably few seconds, few minutes, few hrs and for some few years. Depends on the nature of shock and how close you are to that reality.
It has happened many a times in my life when I am made realized by nature that there is a POWER above all who control all our lives. But in the past one year, I have realized this twice. Two people whom I have known for not much time, interacted with them few times, were there in my list of known people are no more in this world.
Two people very different from each other in every aspect but one thing in common – both handled same module in my previous project. Both these people were pillars of that module which is the most critical module in the project.
Tragic death for both of them : Heart Attack and train accident.
As usual on both the days, I came to office with a new day, as usual running behind work, when suddenly something pops up from no where. – NEWS of death which you would never want to hear in your life..but here it comes showing its power to all of us.
Got very upset today thinking life is so unreal, so harsh. Don’t know when you say bye to a person, are you ever going to meet him again…I just don’t like this very reality of life. I hate it. Why it happens?
Lets take a break, stop and think about our lives and what we want from our life before something stucks to us…lets try to live life rather than running for life…
I know this news would be old soon and everyone would start again (who stopped in between, for some the race was ongoing), getting set on their tracks for the next relay until….
