Questions and Answers #DearZindagi

Dear Zindagi,

                        I owe you a lot of things as you have made me what I am today and today as I look back the past memories, I’ve noticed you have been with me through such a long journey and we have together faced so many ups and downs during this journey where sometimes you felt weak and sometimes I felt weak. However, there have been many times I’ve tried to ask you questions and complaints and since you’ve never answered me, I’ve found those answers on my own. Here they are:

1.      Why are you so short?

From the time you’ve come into my life till this day, everytime I’ve only noticed that you’re moving too fast and before I can catch you, I fear that you will slip away. My childhood days have passed long ago and it’s been such a short duration that I can barely remember. I many a times feel that I could have had a longer childhood but those days can never come back ever and that’s why I have this complaint.

On asking myself, here I found an answer to my question. Life is not short but we ourselves do not respect the time we have in hand. We ourselves spend time in doing things that are not so relevant and hence feel that our life is short. We cannot change our past but those days too were in our hand where we could make it different and consider each day as a gift of God. We could spend each day to the fullest and give it the importance it deserves. This way, we wouldn’t consider life short if it had to be utilized fully.

2.      Why do we face so many challenges?     

In our day to day life, we constantly face challenges whether it’s from work or from our personal problems and these challenges keep us so busy and tired that we forget how days pass and instead we want the low period to get over as soon as possible. Why can’t life be easy that we can live happily and not face so many problems?

The answer that I got from my subconscious mind was: Life is not easy or same for one and all where there are rich and poor people but everyone does face challenges in their life to keep their life stable. If there are no problems, one wouldn’t realize that importance of happy moments and take life for granted. We can live a happy life but we should also learn how to overcome these challenging moments to become a better person.

3.      Can we ever change your duration?

I’ve seen people who don’t even get a chance to live and the others, who survive, die so fast. It makes me lose trust in you sometimes as I don’t know how long will you be with me and I keep asking myself the duration so that I know how many days I have left. I’ve been also told that we can increase your duration by praying or believing in human Gods. Is it true?

The answer that I got was: There have been many human Gods who claim to increase your life duration with the help of different mantras but ultimately, they are not sure about their own life duration. The one who comes into this world has to go away as life is limited and the only thing we can change is our destiny so that we can make our life memorable. Destiny is in our hands and there’s a dialogue that I recollect here: Zindagi lambi nahi honi chahiye, sirf badi honi chahiye (life shouldn’t be long but instead it should be big).

Love you Zindagi,

Regards,

Erika

Thank you Dear Zindagi

Dear Zindagi,


There have been so many things that I've wanted to tell you before but today I got a chance to express my feelings to you and communicate with you. There have so many times when I've opened my eyes in the morning and thanked you that you are still present in me and with your help, I am able to spend the rest of my day happily. Today, I want to thank you for the following reasons:

For giving me such beautiful parents:

Zindagi, you've been here only because of my parents and my parents have been here, because of you. You came to me as a gift from them and how much ever I give them in life, I can never give them back the same or something more meaningful than you are. Life is something that's precious and that's what my parents have taught me always. Life is the biggest gift that we get from our parents and then give our children and it’s now in our hands to make it better and become an independent human being for our parents.


For giving me a good health:

Zindagi, there have been many times when I've fallen ill and have been thinking that you may come to an end. It happens especially when I'm not able to move and when I've been in the hospital but you've never given up on me and hence I'm here today with no sicknesses and illnesses. I’ve realized that many a times it has been my mistake that I’ve fallen ill and since then I’ve been taking utmost care of myself to keep you healthy and long. I've been having a healthy lifestyle and this would not be possible without your support.

For giving me a good financial status:

Zindagi, it’s only because of my good health that I’ve managed to get a proper education and a good job for my financial security that has helped me to keep you going well too. I have always been working for my life and it wouldn’t have been possible to come so far and lead a healthy lifestyle without you, my Zindagi. Money is in my hands but my life is not and hence I keep praying for a long life to maintain this security always as had you not been in my destiny, I wouldn't have been able to do anything for myself and my family.

For all the beautiful moments:

Zindagi, there has been many a times that I’ve shared such beautiful moments with my friends and family and you’ve always helped me in capturing them so beautifully that they will be taken with me when you come to an end. These moments wouldn’t have been possible without you and right from my childhood till my youth and now, you’ve always helped me and brought me moments that I can cherish forever. I cannot change my past nor can I predict the future, but I promise Zindagi that I'll try my best to lead a meaningful and fruitful zindagi and store in more moments with my family if you keep your love, faith and support with me.

Love,
Erika
