Death

Noor...Noor have you paid the electricity bill?I'm old now and could not wash the clothes,please get a washing machine for me,said Noor's mother.Bhaijaan I want Rs.2500 for my fees,called his brother.Please get the reservation done for family for forthcoming Bhai Sahab's wedding,we will have buy some jeweleries and clothes too,said Noor's sister.
Noor is depressed,worried,he dont understand how he can fulfill all the requirements of his family.He is having bank loan of 2.5Lacks for 3 years and his job is not doing well,he is scared what if he is fired from job,what about the family and the loan repayment?these question keep on haunting him day and night,he cannot think other than these issues.
Its Friday,Noor is going to office in his bike thinking all these family issues,suddenly he felt as if something has hit him,he looks back,its a truck which ran over him.Noor is dead now.
What about the washing machine?the electricity bill?brothers school fee?forthcoming marriage?fear of being fired from job?All the problems have been resolved and resolved to be never arise again.
Death is such a fullstop which puts to end everything,it doesn't see the young or old,poor or wealthy it just comes to everyone.And we all know it will come one day to us and we dont know when,death might come while going to office,or reaching home or tomorrow or just NOW!,we just don't know,the death is totally unpredictable.One incident is,recently in morning,a man was waiting for bus at Ulsoor Bus Stand.Suddenly he felled down,people gathered around him,one of the person tried to make him drink some water,but the man died.He was wearing a bag,the person felt the warmth of the food placed in his tiffin inside bag.After sometime his wife with small kid came running,crying and shouting.
Today I saw a dead body lying on Hosur Road,the man died due to collision with a 4 wheeler.he had bag in which vegetables were there,that was scattered around the road.I just thought what would have been in his mind while driving?he may would have been thinking about his family issues or financial problems or thing about his work,he would be thinking about everything except death and its when death came.
Everyday we see dead bodies around us,we read about accidents in newspapers,we hear about it from people but still forget ourselves.Why?Dont I have to die some day?Only I will be hearing about the death of the people?We forget there will come a day when there would be announcements made,calls made,messages sent that we have died.We will be able to hear crying and weeping of our family members,relatives & friends will start coming in...

Janaza Aage Badh Kar Kah Raha Hai Ae Jahaan Walon
Mere Peeche Chale Aao Tumhara Rahnuma Main Hun
