So fragile

It's so fragile, this thing called Life. I got to know what actually happened to Ashwin today, that is, his father passed away due to a heart attack and Ash went back to India. We are all probably not going to see him any longer. Just like that- Zip Zap Snip Snap.

It is all gone in a wisp.

I wonder how many days down the road, would we all remember him as the brilliant amiable boy,perhaps even the Class Clown? He brought laughter, irriation(in a funny way) and friendship, and it is simply all gone now. He made a difference in all our lives, and it was him who told me to grasp whatever i have now, and not in the nonchalent way i was treating life. He reprimanded me for having such low esteem, for having such a low ambition, for stooping so low as to become a farmer. After all this? He seemed outraged.


Sigh.

I don't know what more i can say.

But speaking of this, it makes me guilty. It seems like my earlier entry is going to contradict what i am going to say now. that is, life is so fragile and we must grasp whatever we have now. i'd better learn to cherish the people around me now, rather be selfishly cooped up in my world of self-pity. I have been secluded in my own world of bleakness.

It's time i change.

Whatever it is, i hope he takes it in his stride. i know this is impossible, but then-

let me end on a good note..

Dad, Mum, I love you. Forever and forever. For the simple fact you are my parents, and not because of what you have done. Life may be a struggle for us, but we've made it through, and i hope we'll go on.

Just the way it used to be.
