What is Life?

I asked this question to a few of my good friends...
"Life is a combination of joy and sorrow"
"That which is not known but lived everyday"
"No idea... isn't it a magazine?" 
"Life is one way down stream"
"The question u asked is a very great one, even after 50 yrs we dont know, many didn't, some found it late in life"

very few found it early in life ..so dont worry abt that ok?"

and finally "Life is a Cosmic Drama"


Very profound indeed! 


Whatever it may be described as, we all know that the spirited component of any matter is what's termed as "life". Anything that's living, exuberates a certain radiance that we like to call "life" or "lively". As we live each day, its how much of life we are able to pour into our living days that determines how completely we may have lived our life. This theory is summed up beautifully in the saying "In the end it wont matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away!" I would like to add to that ".. and how many lives you touched whose breath you took away!"


As I write, I know of an amazing person - my husband's grandpa who is fighting for life. He is the best and most amazing human being I have met in my life. Always positive, always smiling, loving and caring. He makes you feel like your presence is a celebration! This is true of all the people who have known him. He has no bias, impartial, yet unconditional love showered by him on each one of us. Very learned, yet so humble. Of course its true that the most learned, are the most humble. 


We are very grateful to God to have given us such a magnanimous man as our grandpa. We all pray for a miracle - a miracle called life for him! for God's best creation on earth, who is fighting so hard for his life....


This makes me and most of us who are so close to grandpa, wonder about how worthwhile are we making our lives? As my friend said, Life is a Cosmic drama.. how well are we playing our role on the stage ? How well are we co-ordinating with our co-artists, in order to make the drama a success? Somethings we always introspect during such trying times, and conveniently forget as life goes on.. that is after all - the irony of Life.
