Anand...a way of life..

I was watching Anand today…and the movie really go me thinking…

I love the movie and hav watched it many times…but each time I watch…I get awestuck by the way of thinking and the wonderful approach towards life tat anand has…

Think of a life where u don’t hav any hope….u know that deatch is just around the corner… wat light at the end of the tunnel do u look at…when u know that there is absolutely no chance of survival…

And the thing is…not only does he not adopt a negative attitude…instead….he inspires others…and actually gives us an invaluable lesson into how life should be lived…

The way in which he carries himself….his way of talking…interacting with people…making friends…is unbelievable…

A selfless attitude…an exemplary example as to how to live life…

You might say…that its just a movie…I agree…but it does provide us an invaluable insight into the way that life should be lived…

I must be sounding very philosophical….but the reason why I actually sat down to write this post is another thing that happened this evening..

An uncle came to our house…he was an old neighbour of ours…who had moved to Kerala…His son has a kidney problem…and for quite some time…doctors have told him tat he has little or no chance of survival…This son I am talking about is only 3-4 yrs older than me…around 24 I guess…

Can u imagine the state of mind that he must be…and the things that he must be going through…isn’t he a youngster like all of us…with the right to dream and hope for a bright future…wat can he look forward to…not knowing weither he ll live till next month…He has been undergoing treatment for some time…and has been on a strict time…he has stopped going for work and is fully at home…Imagine his mindset when he sees his peers…his friends…all working and moving on and doing well in life…Think of his parents…looking at their only son…and not knowing how long they ll hav him with them…Poor fellow…he has lost all interest in life…

Sad… scary…

As a last ray of hope…they are going in for a kidney transplant…chances are less…but well…u never know…

As they say…God is There…

Pray for him…

And here we are…worrying about trivial things in life… sometimes…we get surrounded by problems and feel that life has been unfair to us and we curse our luck…. wat right do we hav to say that we are unlucky…we hav a bright secure future and a wonderful fun filled life to look forward to… …Be happy…Enjoy life...help others...and above all...be true to yourself...

I am really sorry for havin posted something like this…but I felt I had to…

I would end with a couple of lines from anand which i love...

Hum sab rang manch ki katputlian hain..
jiski dor upar wale ki ungliyon se bandhi hui hai...
Kab kaun uthega koi nahin bata sakta...
