Friends...

Life is full of experience and God takes care that we have both- good as well as bad ones...

Last week has been very adventurous for me. First came my birthday where I learnt that so many people are interested in my happiness. Everyone seemed to be involved in giving me surprises and making me smile. And few days later, when I was admitted to hospital, I realized that my frends are far more good that I had ever realized. They are gems.

I feel that the most important aspect of life experiences are lessons learnt. I would like to share my lessons on my blog and I'll be glad if you find it useful.

This year I had no plans for my birthday. It was a working day, so I had less hope of celebrations. However, it turned out to be full of surprises. I love flowers and cakes on birthday and I got them at midnight. It was my first ever midnight gift. And all these from someone from whom I didnt expect anything (and probably I could expect these from only them). Here I learnt that some relations cannot be kept forever. But this fact doesnt prevent people from thinking of keeping you happy. :)

So many gifts and people  thinking of sparing some time for me...all these made me realize that how much wrong I was. I was never alone. I have kept myself apart from others which made me think that I'm lonely. I guess this is a truth which we all need to accept who think that they are alone. People are always there for you. You just have to seek their company. As the Bible says, 'Ask and u shall be given'. :) :)

Journey from my birthday to my hospitalization is a sheer example of recklessness. Despite of so many warnings from my body, I kept on tiring myself. I pushed myself beyond my limits. I now know that I cannot take good care of myself. People around me kept on warning me. But I behaved like a school going child who loves to play even in sickness, without bothering about health. I feel sorry about it now.
My recklessness ended in hospital. I had taken a day off from office that day to take rest. By afternoon I was so sick that my frends had to rush from office to take me to hospital. I was admitted and I realized my carelessness about my health only then. Hey,one important thing that I learned is to raise alarm when you are not well. Keep your cellphone handy. I was alone in my home when I fell so sick.Thanks to my brain that I called my frends and thanks to them that they took action immediately.

Calamity shows true colours of people. But I was shocked  to see God's angels as humans. I am greatly indebted to people who took so good care of me. When I saw my face in hospital's mirror, I became hopeless. My swollen face made me to pity myself. But my frends never showed up on their face how hopeless I looked. Taking responsibility of an ill person is a great decision. And I know that I'm not an easy patient. Already I'm arrogant by nature and illness made my behaviour more difficult. But people around me were so casual. My accomplice in hospital could not sleep the whole night, but she never made fuss of it. The love and care which I received during this time is difficult to repay. May God bless them.

One more thing which I learned is that Good people are always good to you and difficult times cannot bring out the nature which you do not have. My Angels have always been good. I just got some break to think about and absorb this fact. I tell you, it's not easy to accept people who are far more good to you and being indebted to them is more difficult. I just pray that whenever time calls, I may be there with them. May God bless them all.
