I
am writing a letter to life for the #DearZindagi activity at BlogAdda.
Dear Zindagi,
You have been there with me since my origin in my mother’s womb, i.e. 27 years and 9 months to be precise. From then till now, you have given me so much to thank about that if I start writing I may not be able to complete it any day. I have thanked you at the times when something big and huge has happened to me. But have missed out on thanking you for the small things and moments which you have given me to cherish forever. Let me take this opportunity to thank you for each and every thing.
The college phase brought a whole lot of new experiences and surprises. I can never get over the birthday celebrations, the parties,the movie outings, the late night drives. In form of friends you gave me a whole new family. The spontaneous laughter during the lectures and staring at girls in the college canteen was so lively. And then you surprised me with the most beautiful feeling in the world. Yes, the first signal of entry into the adolescent phase. The beauty of infatuation and breathtaking feel of LOVE. Suddenly the world seemed so much beautiful as if the very existence of you was love. That’s when I reinforced my liking for the Bollywood movies and especially SRK. I could relate myself to SRK of all romantic movies such as DDLJ,Dil To Pagal Hai etc. Thank you life for giving me the realization that life is all about love. Though the first love didn’t achieve the happy ending, it gave me all the feelings one could experience. That is when I developed a passion, a craze, an obsession for SRK. And meeting him became a priority in my life without which I would remain incomplete. Passing out MBBS gave me the license to be the servant cum savior of people. You gave me a noble opportunity to work for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. The level of spirituality attached with this feeling of being one with God is damn too high. Thank you life for choosing me. Thank you for keeping me healthy and capable enough to keep others healthy.
With parents’ pride rising one level higher, I could dream of becoming a specialized surgeon. And you responded straight away. You got me placement for post-graduation in Mumbai in branch of Orthopaedics. You surely knew that Orthopaedics at any other place than Mumbai would not have given me a chance to meet SRK. Just when I thought that the unrequited first love would haunt me forever, you sent a beautiful fairy to my workplace. The feeling is as fresh and as liberating as the first time. Hopefully I shall be able to receive the same feelings from her. And now here comes your other blessing in form of Blogadda activity. I finally got the opportunity to meet the biggest star of the universe. Thank you very much life. All these moments are priceless. As SRK says, “Gratitude should be the attitude”; I shall always express gratitude to you no matter what my circumstances. Because I know that even the worst circumstances will help me in the betterment of my character and personality.
Yours truly,
Prashant.
Dear Zindagi,
You have been there with me since my origin in my mother’s womb, i.e. 27 years and 9 months to be precise. From then till now, you have given me so much to thank about that if I start writing I may not be able to complete it any day. I have thanked you at the times when something big and huge has happened to me. But have missed out on thanking you for the small things and moments which you have given me to cherish forever. Let me take this opportunity to thank you for each and every thing.
The first
feeling of happiness which I remember is of the love you showered on me in the form
of my parents. My mom dipping the Parle-G biscuits in water and feeding me.
Mummy used to soak the bread in sugared milk and feed me after squeezing it.
She used to mix rice and curd and then create balls of rice which I used to
gulp like a panda. That taste is still fresh on my tongue and just the memory
of it brings a wide smile on my face.
You gave me
the lovely experiences of thrill, impatience, surprises when I used to wait
every evening for my dad’s arrival from office keeping my eyes constantly
focused over his hands expecting some new sweet or toy for me. Waiting for the
first date of every month just because of the tradition of purchasing gulab
jamuns on the day of salary gave me goosebumps. The first bajaj scooter bought
by dad; and me standing on the front space between the handle and the seat while
my dad drove—O God, that feeling was equivalent to travelling in some spaceship.
I can’t thank you enough for the SUNDAYSSS, the day which I awaited since the
Monday of every week. Watching the morning Rangoli programme followed by Shree
Krishna and simultaneously relishing the warm Pav-Bhaji served by mom. And then
Shaktimaan during the afternoon lunch was an icing on the cake.
How can I
not thank you for the primary school? Travelling in the school bus while
playing games with friends. Cricket, football and antakshari were life. Wining
in the game of marbles was like earning property for the family. Learning to
drive a cycle was no less exciting than driving a Formula one race car. There
were moments when I was annoyed with you like when I used to fall while playing
and get abrasions all over my body. But then you used to convince me by getting
my mom apply Dettol antiseptic over my wounds with all love and care making me ready
to play all again. Celebrating Holi, Diwali with the society friends was a different
high.
The best
thing you could do was to make me the youngest in the family. You, in form of
elder brother gave me the joy of a permanent playmate. Having a TV video-game gave the feeling of luxury. Especially, the "Contra" game felt like men
on mission to save the world. While my elder brother used to get all the
scolding from parents, I used to be the apple of their eye. You gave me the
early lessons on savings by the trick of storing coins in the gullak.
Giving me the virtue of intelligence and
intuition was another blessing by you which helped me keep myself academically
strong throughout my studies, something which kept my parents always happy.
Awarding me the ‘Best Student Of the Year Award’ and bringing the tears of joy
in eyes of my parents established the fact that you not only kept me happy but
everyone related to me also happy. And
then you bestowed me the biggest gift of my whole existence. Getting into MBBS
in a reputed college. The dream of my dad which he had been nurturing since my
birth. I can’t thank you enough Zindagi for this.
