Being Mortal

When death decides to strike he does...

We sit there in front of the rooms equipped with the most sophisticated machines handled by an army of experts hoping this time we put him off...

But his armoury is infinite having plethora of devices that can operate both in microscopic and macroscopic levels..

He just walks in there, does his work and walks away..

We say he is a joker who doesn't know where and when to step in..

But, we, the most intelligent species ever lived in this planet as we boast, are, after all,  as mortal as any other dumb creature here.

We often tend to forget that ultimate fact..

These little perishable lives are all that we've got..

A series of breaths from the first to the last..

We don't know when and which of death's many devices strikes us..

We don't know what is beyond death..

The only thing that remains in this world are the memories you made in the minds of the people around you..

One who leaves beautiful memories in many minds are indeed immortal..

Celebrate life and leave behind colourful feathers of memories all around..
