Three Incidents.

Three incidents recently happened in my life with- in ten days. I am a spectator, who is watching them like a dumb. Its sequence is also reversed. Normally such sequences don't occur in this way.

These incidents affected my three siblings out of eleven. The very first is heart-breaking misfortue befalled on us through the demise of my brother's 31 years' old daughter, Maneesha on 11th February 2009. She left behind her a two years old daughter, bereaved parents and a shocked husband. We are from a family, where awaking from all sides is present. According to my information about seventy years ago my step- mother was died in her prime youth. But since then no such misfortune happened. Maneesha's treatment was conducted in Banglore & then in Delhi, not in a small place. Her parents & in-laws are very rich persons and they left no efforts to save her life. But Death snatched away her from us and we are left with brocken heart with our limitless prayers. My tears, like me, are also helpless and start flowing effortlessly. Mnaeesha's death is beyond the capacity of a mortal human being's understanding to console one's mind.

Second incident is very pleasant and essencial in life. The only daughter, Shefali, got married with a boy of her choice after a long wait on 16th. February 2009. We couldn't enjoy this marriage even after our efforts after Mnaeesha's death.

Third incident is rather happiest in one's life. My another sister's only daughter-in-law is blessed with a son on 20th February 2009. Her daughter-in-law had suffered with two mis-carriages before becoming mother this time, after three years of her marriage. Really it is the occasion to be happy.

God showed me three faces of one's life. Normally its sequence is 1-birth, 2-marriage, 3-death.
But I viewed it in reverse way.

I am astonished why I feel happiness on such different situations of life. Now, I see no difference in these incidents. There is no need to rejoice or be sad on such situations.

You readers ! must be moved to hear Mnaeesha's departure from this world in such tender age. The experience of such incidence shook me from the very bottom of my heart. My life- philisophy has been shaken. No person can feel satisfaction and be proud through one's life till one sees one's last day. Let other persons judge them.
