I Have No Answer


“Why don’t you write?”, he looked straight into my eyes.
-          I had no answer.

-          Ok. Why do you write?
-          I again kept mum.

-          “Just to show off; to get attention, appreciation... why? Why did you start a blog after all?
-          What could I say!

-          Did you really have anything to express? How can you say so firmly that you have got a viewpoint?
-          I again had no answer.

I was at my wit’s end. What the f*** was going on!

Hey! ... I was standing against a mirror!!!

-          “Who the hell are you?” I said.
-          He had no answer.

Health is Wealth


It took a really long time for me to get down to writing something again. Though the reason, being my ill health, is immaterial to mention here, yet the lessons i learnt from it is worth recollecting. All our life we have read, heard and known in principle the adage that "health is wealth". I myself did so too. And cared for it as good as i could, or at least I thought so. Yet the erratic condition of my health for past some time has made me sit down and think deeply about it. Having got a decent job, couple of good friends, positive outlook as well as all the familial love and support, in brief all the necessary requirements i had and i was genuinely leading a happy life. But all this got eclipsed once i fell ill. It used to happen every single time i got sick in the past too, however i didn't learn anything significant then. But now, since my not-so-well health unexpectedly derailed my usual daily routine, i have sincerely come to realise that all is not well unless one’s health is not well. Meanwhile i read some blogs concerning lessons for leading a happy life, i was little surprised when i invariably found health as one of the top priorities in all of them.
There was no point in writing this as a blog post, there really wasn’t any, as people aren't as negligent about health matters as I am, but i have a little doubt in mind, IS THAT REALLY SO?
