How can I live without.......

Have you ever thought what are the things you just cant live without.....hmm lets say list out 5 things you just cant live without...

Let's do....think about it....

done????did you do that?

ok then let me tell you my list..
1. oxygen
2. water
3. mobile
4. music
5. food
(in no particular order).

I am sure something similar if not same...hmmm most of us think of mobile phones...music...food etc...

can u really not live without these...

well we can...
life goes on there is nothing on this earth without which we can't survive....living body has the tendency to struggle through bad times....

Nothing means nothing??????? (ya ya ya few things like our healthy BODY. heart lungs liver stomach and brain etc etc etc......). But we just tend to move ahead. We see a accident on road we feel bad for some time...feel like helpless and low but then we get back to our work.

Lately I have been thinking what in life is most important for any human been or for that matter any living body. Loved ones, friends, hobbies, food, work...... but somehow I was not satisfied with what answer came out of my head. Wanted something like hmm much deeper thought....

I found my answer when one day while I was driving my car back to home... on the traffic signal I saw a small kid carrying a young guy on her shoulder... the guy couldn’t walk and had only 1 hand... the little girl was in a torn frock and couldn’t talk. The guy on her back did the talking while the girl was a transport for him. When they came near my car I could think of nothing… Nothing at all not even to give them money but I was thinking only one thing... no actually I was busy thanking God that he made me perfectly normal with no disability at all.... that was the time I remembered a saying.

"I cried for a pair of fancy sandals until I saw a girl with no footwear...
I cried for a pair of chappals until I saw a man with no foot.".


Other day I received a mail (a very common mail sure many of us must have received and fwd it). It was a mail of UNICEFF about comparing the kids of South Africa and kids of well off families... when our kids played with beautiful toys they have skulls and bones to play with, when our kids have beautiful sandals they have made chappals out of plastic water bottles, when we feed our kids so much they have nothing to feed their kids at all, when we are abut about our kids over weight their kids have only their skeleton to support... well there is not so much that we can do just feeling sad about. Because we are busy making ourselves so called settled and building a secured future. Thankfully there are people working for such people.

But it made me realise what I cant live without... eyes, speech, proper functioning ears, hands and legs -- in all healthy body is all we need to live...

With out this how will I talk on my phone how will I watch movies, how will I hear my ipod and how will I survive even without one of them......its not that people who are disabled don’t live but it makes life tougher than what we live... now that I know and I have experienced these abilities like seeing, talking, hearing etc., I cant think of living without........

In the end of every day I never forget to thank my dear God who gave me a fantastic life and healthy body...with which I can live like happy... now I have no complaints from my life...its gr8 what ever it is...

God bless....
