Candid observations!

Do you know what normally happens after your funeral?

In a few hours, the cry sound will be completely stopped.

Family will be busy ordering food from hotels for relatives.....

Grandchildren will be running and playing.

Some men would go to the tea shop for walk before going to bed.

Your neighbour will be angry, thinking that your people may have thrown the 'ritual leaves' close to their gate. 

A relative will talk to your daughter on the phone about not being able to come in person due to an emergency situation.

At the next day's dinner, a few relatives get reduced and few complains about not having enough salt in the curry.

'Foreign' relations would have secretly planned tourism, as if they had never so far on the way there.

A relative may be complaining about funeral that he has spent a few hundred rupees more on his share.

The crowd will slowly begin to dissolve.....

In the coming days, some calls may come to your phone without knowing you are dead.

Your office will be rushing to find someone to replace you.

One week later, after hearing the news of your death, some Facebook friends may search with curious sadness to know what your last post was.

In two weeks, your son and daughter will return to work after their emergency leave get over.

By the end of the month, your spouse will be watching a comedy show and laughing.

In the coming months, your close relationships will return to the cinema and the beach.

Everybody's life will go back to normal just as there is no difference between a withered leaf of a big tree and what you live and die for, it all happens so easily, so fast, without any movement.

Rains have started, the election is coming, the crowds on the buses are as usual, an actress is getting married, the festival is coming, the World Cup cricket is going on as planned, the flowers are in full bloom and your pet gave birth to the next pup.

You will be forgotten by this world at an astonishing pace.

In the meanwhile, your first year death anniversary will be celebrated in a grand manner.

In the blink of an eye, years have passed and there is no one to talk about you.

One day, just looking at old photos, one of your close friends may remember you, in your hometown, of the thousands of people you've become acquainted with, only one person may remember and talk about sometime.

You may be living elsewhere, if reincarnation is true. Otherwise, you will be nothing and will be plunged into darkness for decades.

Tell me now.....

People are waiting to forget you easily

Then, who are you running around for?

And who are you worried for?

For most part of your life, say 80%, you think about what your relatives and neighbours think about you....

Are you living a life to satisfy them?

NO USE.

Life is only once, just live it up fully......

Tailpiece.

Got up around 4, washed up and recited my prayers. Turned off to sleep, on completion.

Got up at my usual time, the chores and was ready by 9. Went to the Pazhavangadi Maha Ganapati temple and prayed from outside. Then we went across to the Foundation, browsed my blog and mail.

By 12, we went back home to pick up Ammayi and Chambu, and headed for Kuttu's house to attend the first remembrance day of Sree kochachhan.

Our next stop was at Venniyoor's house at Poojappura, to look up Narayanan. It was nice to meet up with all of them. 

And then, we spent about three hours at the Lulu Mall, to buy grocery, fruits and to have a cup of tea at the Food Court.

Will be returning to Guruvayur tomorrow as I've to return by the 8th to conduct the painting and quiz competitions for children, beginning from the 9th.

A comparatively early evening!
