You have seen a person who has been so strong at everything all his life.He has inspired you, nurtured you and taught you everything you know today.You have never seen him break.You have never seen tears in his eyes.You have never seen him taking a helping hand from anyone.
And now he is not well.It has been quite a time now.Now he cannot even stand by himself.Walking a few yards has become so painful for him.He needs someone with him all the time.He needs to listen and do what everyone has to say.But he has never done that.He finds it very difficult to be dependent on others ever for the most smallest of things.He always believed that life can be lived alone. He always believed that he will never need someone to take care of him.But that is so not true.
You can't survive in this world all by yourself.You need others.To be precise, you need the love of others.You can't live without love.Those who claim to, they are just good at pretending.It's all about love.We are just puppets and someone out there has all the strings in his hands.We all have issues.We blame the puppeteer for that.But he has let one string loose.He has given us the power of a choice.The choice of being happy.In spite of all the bad things happening to you, you can always choose to be happy.I do remember the Gandhi's Talisman which used to be there in the front of our textbooks in school.It helped me a lot. Whenever something goes wrong with our lives, we tend to think that no one else has suffered what we are going through.But that is far from the truth. Just look around and you will see everyone goes through things much worse.You are not at all alone.
Sometimes people discuss the unfairness of this world. People do not often get what they actually deserve.But then we ourselves are responsible for what the world has become.And it will continue this way until we choose to bring a change.If there is thing which is morally wrong, but since everyone else is doing it, you think it's right.This should change.Some people waste a lot of time crying over what should have happened and what they actually deserve and lot more.I was one of them.But then, someone told me,"I have two words for you, Shit happens ! But you can always choose to smile about it and make a new start like the phoenix". I believe in those two words now.I believe in myself.

I know bro!!SometimesI question all the existing beliefs and faith and that makes the whole ambience around me feels sad. So, I prefer to be happy and that's the only way we can fight the bad times out of our lives.
However, in some very personal cases, you know I am talking about meena aatey, where the person you love so much is going through so much pain for so long. I feel , there should be a ray of hope and there should be a good time to follow after bad time but in this case, its not easy to be happy .
Shit Happens and sometimes it blows away all your strength .
Don't worry, Kaka will regain his lost strength. I fully agree, he is one of the toughest person I know, in terms of spirit.
shit happens..all the time..but you learn to live with it and to look beyond..i have no doubt uncle would come thru this, he has you..nvrtheless to write somethng so personal takes a lot..and about Gandhi's talisman..glad someone mentioned it, I absolutely loved that page!
