The day was 18th Aug and the sad news is one of my dearest friends, Dilip's father passed away. I got the news on 17th late night and it made a bit sleepless. Hanumanth and I planned to visit Dilip's house in the early hours of 18th morning. We made it on early hours and expressed our sympathy. For the first time in my life I looked at the body so close(looks like sleeping) . We offered prayers (be silent) for few minutes. Then we sat with him for some time discussing how it happened.
In that time I observed a kid (relative of Dilip) playing, crying and doing whatever he likes irrespective of the situation. Why didn't we remain as a child all the time (without growing)? This question arose in my mind after hearing a chain of these kinds of incidents (some natural and some suicide). We can't help the natural ones but suicide is intolerable. My intellect was revisiting few souls. I came back from my thoughts with the call "Please have some Tea".
From Dilip, we find that the death was natural and was due to mild heart attack. I remembered my grandfather who died in the sleep without any pain. That was a gift from GOD. I always believe the pains before death are punishments (on earth, the hell is waiting for the rest) of the crime. Dilip's father had fulfilled most of the responsibilities he had and passed away when he was a happy man. We were about to leave, but tears are still rolling from Dilip's eyes. We had few more condolence words with him. Promising him, that we will be always with him for any need, we left the place.
May the soul rest in peace...!!!
