The moment of Truth

Every one goes through it, but no one can explain how that moment feels. For some it's so quick that they don’t even realize and it's gone past them, and some feel it till the end. At that very moment you know that the breath you are taking may be the last one, you know the people you are seeing in front of you is the last thing you would be ever seeing, the beat your heart just now might be your last one, the act you last did was your last act ever. You have so much to say but not enough time to say it all, not enough words to put it all. So many people to say goodbye to, but not many are near you. Some say that your whole life passes in front of you as you lie, waiting for that final moment, final second, final breath of your life.

The moment is gone, you lie there without control of you body anymore. People near you are sad, you are not any more there with them. Not breathing anymore, your heart is not beating anymore. Just a moment ago it was beating and suddenly it has just stopped. Was it the lungs that stopped pumping oxygen into your blood first or the brain stopped controlling the body parts or the heart refused to pump anymore blood into the brain and other parts. No one knows. Everyone knows just the fact that the person lying in front of them has died. For some the person is a father, for some husband, for some brother, for some son and for some it's just a body now. The people who were very close to you miss you already and are crying. They can just see you lying, but can not tell you how much they miss you. They can not express to you how much they love you, how special were those things which you did for them. They can not tell you that they missed all those moments which they had spent with you. You would always be remembered for some reason or the other.

The only thing other than the memories that remains in this world long after you have gone is your name. You are still known by your name.


I dedicate this post to my MamaJi. He passed away on 22nd Aug 2006. He will always be remembered. May his soul rest in peace.
