This is Life

There was a boy named Raja.He was not so good at studies,though he had the potential.His results never made his parents feel proud of him.But he never lost his heart,as his mother,always consoled him and encouraged him to do better in the future.

But Raja never changed.His report card was the same,the old,shameful 60% (It is nothing in today's world).His Mother always told him to study harder and have faith in God.Raja wanted to change,he wanted to study,but as they say "Old Habits Die Hard",he was unable to do so.

But today was a different day...

Raja was on his way home from school and he was happier than ever.He thought himself to be the happiest person in the world.The reason,he stood 1st in the weekly test at school,and he had not cheated.Actually he had never cheated,that's why he was at 60% marks,but today,he stood first (From the Top!).As he was walking,different thoughts surrounded his mind,about how happy his mother will be,and what special she would be cooking today,as he started moving faster.

He entered his home,there was an eerie silence in there.He expected to smell the aroma of her mother's delicious dishes,but nothing filled the air,except the silence.He drifted towards the kitchen,to find nothing.Something smelled fishy (It's a phrase,don't think that fish was being cooked in the kitchen).He ran towards his parent's bedroom,also,to find nothing.Obviously his Father was at office,but where was mother.

Suddenly a thought crashed his mind,and as the world moved,he stood still.He dissolved himself in the eerie silence and did nothing,except breathing.He memorized,that his mother was dead,in an accident,about 2 weeks ago.

And there he was in the sorrow of his mother's death,who always wanted his son to do better,as he took the step to study his hardest,which repaid positively.Tears welled up his eyes,as he remembered mother's delicious dishes,which he relished after a long tiring day,he remembered his mother's consolations,and he eyes that were filled with hope for his son to do better.

When he had mother,he didn't came upto her expectations and when he did,he had lost his mother.

This is Life.Whenever you think that you have got everything and life cannot get much better,it takes something away from you.
This is Life.When you had your loved ones,you don't make an effort to keep them happy and when you do,your loved ones are gone.
This is Life.It gives you a lot of happiness at once,and suddenly...Take them all away.

So readers,if you have some work pending,do it now,as the world is moving,and so should you in this Blind Rat Race.And Yes,Even if you win the race...Remember,you are still a rat.
