Yesterday was a perfect day, not in the sense of it being the happiest day of my life or something, but because it was a perfect example of life and all its stages...be it birth, growth, or death.
There was the launch of one of our (Routledge's) books, so it was a birth of sorts. There were guests who had come to meet the author, and wish well for the book. So in a way we were all with a proud parent basking in the glory of his creation.
A college friend who is about to get married day after tomorrow, had her bachelor's party. Good food, good drinks, and lots of reminiscing, and dreams for the future. So she is a about to make a transition from her present life and start a new life as it were.
Yet another friend got married. She and I have been friends since school, and as I hugged her and her husband and congratulated them, I couldn't help thinking that our friendship goes back to so many years and I am so glad that I am still a part of her life, and joining her on her special day.
Another person I know, decided to stop being with someone she was increasingly enjoying being with. So in a sense, it was a death of sorts. Unfortunate and unfair, but that's how life is supposed to be.
So today in the morning when I was going over yesterday's events, I realised that it was an all-encompassing sort of a day...busy, packed, eventful, and with repurcussions for the future.

Unfortunate and unfair, but that's how life is supposed to be.
I hate the way everyone thinks that something's because the way it is. What the hell. Isn't it important to chuck this attitude?
@ Rohit
You probably misinterpreted my sentence.
The fact that such a decision had to be taken was unfortunate, and the circumstances in which the decision was taken were unfair.
This is not about an attitude towards life or because of any belief in the idea that things happen because they are meant to happen. On the contrary, things happen because they are made to happen.
Yes I did. Now I agree. We allow things to happen to us, and most of us later think it's the way it should be.. Isn't it?
Hey you have amazing intensity in your words...AWESOME!!
Thank you B!
