Life is Strange and Unexpected!!!


It was Dec 30 2008 at 5.00 PM, I was in the middle of my work, I got a call from my home telling that my Aunt(Mom's elder sis) is on her death bed.. It was expected because she was ailing for a long time, and I started praying for her soul..And at 7.00 PM I called up my Dad and I could just hear a weeping sound from the other end.. and I could make out that she left us.. Now only her memories we can cherish... And I wanted to speak to my Mom to console her, but nobody was ready to give the phone to her.. I came to know that she is not in my Aunt's place and she is at home.....Somehow I managed to talk to her, and I found out that she was sounding very dull and tired.. it was obvious that she lost her elder sis and going through a very bad time, but that was not the truth.. It was a shocking news for me when I came to know that My parents met with an accident and my Mom had serious injuries... I couldn't believe my ears... It happened a week before and nobody wanted to inform me.. She was in bed with multiple fractures... I wanted to go home, but the "great recession" had changed my professional life... for whatever reason if I take a leave, once I get back, either I loose my job or I "may" survive..A departmental shift was happening at that time, and I was not too sure in which vertical they were going to put me.. I informed the same at home and they knew what I was undergoing... But everyday I used to think about it and felt guilty on that.. On Jan 27th 2009, I came to know that my job is safe (they finalised in which vertical they are going to put me)....And I was relieved..Feb 2nd 2009 was my first day in health care vertical and started learning new things.. On Feb 5th I met with an accident, by God's Grace, I had a narrow escape from death.. I didn't inform this at home, because after 2 days I was fine.. On Feb 17th I was admitted int he hospital with Viral fever and slight intestine infection.. I was fine by 23rd Feb.. And I started concentrating on my work and was back to normal life until I heard a shocking news from my home.. On Feb 25th (Yesterday) I called up home and Aunt's house, but nobody was responding.. Tried calling on their mobile phone, they are disconnecting continuously.. Some festival was going on in the nearby temple, So I thought they all would have gone there and I engrossed myself in the work.. At 5.30 PM, I called again and I found out that My brother, Sis In Law and My nephew met with an accident, they are all hospitalised.. And the Car got crushed, again a shocking news for me...I couldn't control my tears, didn't know what to do... without a second thought I booked my ticket and today I will be leaving... And I still wonder, what are we going through? Where it is going wrong? Why GOD is punishing us like this? Have we done any Sin? Why my Parents had to see all these in front of their eyes?
If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything And today If I don't support my family with my presence, when I will be?? And at the same time, am worried about my Job also.... Anyway, am going to take life as it comes and will face whatever happens...

  3. Guys, I too agree that whenver we undergo a pain which is either repairabale or controllable....we are left clueless. As Ajith rightly said god will surely shower his benedictions at the right time.
    This too will passby and this is just a testing phase. It has happened in my life and why not for you ??? Dont worry.... Happy days will knock your doors soon.........Till then you need to have a PUSH in Life.

    PUSH - Pray until Something Happens
