On the eve of my Birthday, with thanks, Sindhu

My dear readers,

Tomorrow, 7th January is my birthday. I have passed more than half of my total birthdays of my life time. Yet nothing so remarkable happened on my birthdays or the New Year that followed each time. Looking back, I see the route of my journey and all I feel is Gratitude to God and to the people who were appointed by God who have any role in my life. The length of the journey can be calculated easily with numbers, and this is the mathematical answer.

48 years + 12 extra days of 12 leap years 57 months

13140 + 4392 = 17532 Days

17532 x 24 = 420768 hours

420768 x 60 = 25246080 minutes

25246080 x 60 =1514764800 seconds

I was born on a full moon day on 7^th January 1966 and since then the full moon appeared 593 times till now. At this point I am truly confused if I have lived all these years or was waiting for a time to start life.  

I don’t want to dig the past nor plan my future. I just try to understand my part on this planet Earth and find my path. When I stand at the middle of the ladder called life, I wonder if I was climbing upwards from Earth to Heaven or downwards from Heaven to Earth. To grow up is to be humble and to be mature is to be grounded. I feel that my life is settling down finally on some ground than hanging on a scary step of a ladder.

One thing is sure. I thank everyone and everything God sent to make me humble and grounded. And there are people and experiences that I met in my life were the books from which I learnt what life is.

The list is long and each and every one and each and everything in my life have taught me something or the other. Yet there are certain people who gave me an identity in this wide world, Dad, Mom, Brother, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Child, Friend….

I thank you all from the depth of my heart and may God bless you for being in my life. I failed to dream and to fulfill it. But wisdom still pushes me to fulfill God’s dreams about me.

Life is not the number of years we breathe. Life is something that even death cannot take away from us. Life never dies. I’m so happy to pass through each year as I believe that best is yet to be. I don’t regret the years that make me old; I am thankful for the wisdom’s call as I get older.

Thank God and thank you for helping me to lessen the burden of life off my shoulders and teach me to walk lighter and to enjoy peace. Taking so many years to realize the worth of life is a lesser crime than denying life. I take a new birth in each birthday and try to be better than the previous one.  

Thanks a lot, everybody, for everything!
