Happy that you dont see your future, yet you have to leave this world so unprepared. I think it is almost three years since the late gentleman that i know left this world so unprepared. I have heard that this gentleman had been working so hard in order to achieve his dream of owning a house. I heard, the gentleman when on tour, to an extend hardly had any meat but was so used to buying rice and chillies curry both for himself and his driver. With expectation that the gentleman could save some money for his dream house. Because of which drivers called him Dasho solo (chillies). What ever the late gentleman knew the value of the money and could not be so lavish of eating meat all the time. I saw the dream house build by the late gentleman and completed after two years. The late gentleman had been always working hard by watering the concrete works and salvaging what ever was left over of the construction materials. I always saw the late gentleman worked with the laborers in building up his dream house. Meanwhile, the late gentleman and his family lived in one temporary hut. But soon shifted to their new house. I met once after the late gentleman shifted to his new house and i could see how happy the late gentleman looked. But it was not even one month that the late gentleman had shifted to his new house. Unluckily, the late gentleman fell down in the toilet. Although the gentleman was not seriously hurt, but we often believe that falling down in bathroom is quite bad sign and often people dont survive sometimes. It was already time for the late gentleman to resign before he could actually even think for it. But the late gentleman was quite happy that he had a house to live in and was satisfied man now. The late gentleman was invited for a fare well dinner by his friends, and was presented a gift by his friends as the late gentleman would retire the next day. After the dinner was over, the late gentleman on his way back home got sick on half way to his house. Probably, the late gentleman suffered a stroke because when the late gentleman reached home, he could just tell his wife that there was a sever pain on his chest. Before the late gentleman could say anything further fell down flat on the floor and soon closed his eyes forever. The following day we saw a tent pitched in front of the late gentlemans house and the late gentleman already put in one square box. We went to convey our condolence to the late gentlemans family. I felt really sad to see a man suddenly no more, but already packed in one wooden box kept under a tent. A photograph of the deceased was placed in front with a flickering butter lamp. The whole area looked so dismal and people hardly spoke. It pained my heart with remorse to see the farewell gift still in the car so nicely packed. But what use, when the late gentleman could not have time to open and see to himself. I felt so sad and tears well up in my eyes, to remember how hard this late gentleman worked in preparation for living a peaceful retire life in the house build with his hard earned money of sweats. At that moment i looked at the life and found it really empty and no more beautiful. It made me realized how deceitful is our life. Yet, we keep on clinging to life as if we will live for thousands of years. I just offer a small khadar and looked at the square box where the remain of the late gentleman was placed. It looked so silent, it ought to be since it is lifeless now, but i just wonder and imagine how traumatized would be the soul of the late gentleman for it is believed that the soul can see us and would try talking to us, but cannot for it is dead now. To remember such a here say makes me even more sad. It also made me feel that our life and living was beyond owning a big building, was even beyond married to a pretty wife with beautiful children are but temporary distractions of previous lifes recurrence accumulative attachments. I have started looking at these temporary illusionary happiness and have started questioning, is already a starting step of not believing, if it is even true. Yet, miles away to make believe and to believe. My simple take as this if you will agree. Like
