Excitements are at its peak and my thoughts filled with those sweet memories of being together with my parents and family. Finally I am tracing my journey back home after a long await. My moves are filled with energy and my body active all over. Neither dancing nor singing helps me ease my excitement. I find myself frantically moving up and down in my room, with a natural and exaggerated curve on my face.
But a wise man knows how to calm down all those emotions. I shall always be a fool of embracing everything in my life. But I must say I am a wise fool.
Sometimes our emotions fly beyond the azure blue sky. Sometimes our emotions sink deep down in the depth of an ocean. Those ups and downs makes our life worth living. It is not the quantity but quality of the time that we spend doing good things makes a difference in our life. It is not about yearning to live for next hundred years. It is all about how to live a meaningful life within this short span of time.
This past week I have been reading a novel The last lecture by Randy Pausch. He was an American professor of computer science who died at the age of 47 due to pancreatic cancer. Amid of various feelings arising in my mind of meeting my parents and leaving my friends, I tried to concentrate and did it within a short span of time. I felt totally blissed of my commitment for reading and writing no matter what. The book was worth reading. An ordinary book written by an extraordinary pancreatic cancer patient. I loved his commitments and hard works. The two phrases given in the blurb really touched my heart;
'Time is all you have......and you may find one day that you have less time than you think.'
"I was trying to put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children. If I were a painter,I would have painted for them. But I am a lecturer,so I lectured."
A question that struck million times in my crazy mind.........What will I do if I have only few months left to live??? Because a wise man always remember that the life is as uncertain as cloud looming on the horizon.
