Someone once asked me ..
Which is the most memorable moment of your life..
And i said something that actually perplexed the person...
What is it for you???
Think for a while... !!!
is it the moment you met someone special ??
or is it the moment you won something..??
is it the moment when your dream came true??
or is it the moment when you were on a trip and you felt happy as you could relate to nature ??
It so happens that we tend to relate to the happy moments in our life and take it to be the most pleasurable moment.
But that way there would be a hundred moments..
Just as in bluff master Boman Irani tells Abhishek that think of all the happy moments in your life and count how many days you get to live and relive those moments..
The same way if we add up the happy moments it might come up to a month or two.. not more than that ofcourse..
But does everyone remember the moment when he or she was born ??
does everyone remember the moment when he was just out into planet earth..
does everyone remember the first breath?
Can everyone really feel the woosh of the air the moment they were born.
Can everyone hear the first cry ?
Can everyone remember mom's love and her care....
Why cant we remember these precious moments.. ?? ??
Now that i am away from home.. i ponder on such thoughts..
Though i dont remember these moments..
I think 30th april 1986, somewhere around 4pm was the most memorable moment of my lifetime only because i was born at that moment.
It is that moment which is the moment of truth. It is that moment which makes you believe in what you were yesterday, what you are today and what you will be tomorrow.
IF AT ALL IT WAS NOT FOR THAT MOMENT, THEN THERE WOULD BE NO YESTERDAY OR TODAY OR TOMORROW.
Though strange but true..
As i am writing i am a little confused about what i have expressed, but strangely i feel it is right. And that though one does not remember the moment when he or she was " 1 sec" old, it indeed is the best moment on the planet earth.
And that is the reason why there is a day specially meant to celebrate that precious moment - BIRTHDAY.
