i am lucky........

I am Lucky…..

because………..

I am not suffering from a serious illness and there is absolutely NO reason why it should happen to many I know and not me!

my Mom wins the best Mom award each year at every imaginary contest that I organize in my fantasy land .. and I know I didn’t do anything special to deserve the unconditional love…..

I have had the opportunity to learn and develop myself because of the privileged upbringing that I have received but getting it was absolutely a result of a toss of dice that I did not even roll

I have a good job where I am learning and enjoying myself ….. and I know there are many people as and more capable than me in this world who are not employed

I am living in luxury and enjoying finer things in life and also taking it for granted.. and I know people just like me in who lost everything due to the will of nature.. Tsunami, Gujrat and Latur Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina…….

I earn my living by typing on a keyboard or talking for most part of the work day (when I am not pretending to think..) and I know of people for whom there is a direct relation to the Rupees they earn and the Kgs they lift….

I fly every other week and I am still not one of the ill fated passengers who loose their lives in an air crash!

I have the resources to call up my loved ones at any time of the day or night and talk to them as long as my heart desires (or cell phone battery runs out!..) … and I know that there are many around me who have lost their loved ones …. Forever……..

I recently lost my laptop and some other belongings in a theft where my car was broken into while I was visiting a foreign country on work.. but my passport was not in there (although it had been in the bag all of two weeks prior to this ‘’ill fated’ or LUCKY DAY..

I have been in love!..

I am single……

I am not the perfect person to take this arduous journey of life but… this world still gives me a chance..

I am lucky because I AM!!
