Lost


           I had a friend, who is a few years elder than me. He's already off-school now, so basically I had no contact with him. He was not a High School student,..I used to meet him in my van. I have never met him for almost three years. He was a nice guy, good joker, very joyous person, and mingles around with everyone. Just that he had the passion in motorbikes.
          Yesterday, I got to know about him. He had just passed away in an accident. Just 20 years old. I myself got shocked to death upon hearing the news. It was a terrible one... he, on his bike, crashed on a car and lorry. He suffered from serious skull and mandible injuries..and died on the spot.
          Listen, fatal accidents have been a norm in our country. After all, I never know how it feels to experience an incident like this. Now, I felt it! He is no more! Now, you should know why I used past tenses to describe him earlier.
          We ourselves might get mad if any our precious belongings go missing. The world will only continue revolving when we find them back! Imagine his parents....they have brought up their son so welll, with all his necessary needs, parental care and discipline.And now he's is no more! You would be able to judge his parents, by looking at him. CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS THEIR PARENTS' REFLECTION.. We can never imagine his parents' devastation. A 20 years' HUMAN treasure is now gone! No words could describe those feelings!! Maybe I'm not quite good at explaining this, but I'll tell you something. To those who ride bikes out there, ride it very safely and always remember your parents hope on you in your life. I bet you wouldn't want to sacrifice your LIFE to those lifeless engines!
        However, I got a chance to drop by his home. There was this funeral going on. And I saw him there. I could see the difference in him. His looks are still the same, just that he was smiling at me a few years ago and now, he couldn't even stir a muscle in the poor coffin. And I never missed looking at his PARENTS and friends, shedding tears for him. Whatever it is, something clicked in my mind! It doesn't really matter for how long we live! When we are dead one day, there must be at least one person who actually mourns for us, that excludes parents. If there isn't any, even 100 years of happy life is merely POINTLESS! That is where human life stands. Look at yourself, what good have you done in your life? I mean, death may approach anytime, even now! If something like that happens, will your friends and relatives be sad for you, or vice versa? How many of them? Judge yourself...is the life you are living now really worth?
     This guy is too young to deserve death. Yet, he has left his permanent footsteps in everybody's heart forever, including mine. There is absolutely no point in crying over spilt milk, what's wrong in being extra careful in life? Human life is so precious. We might not realise its value until we see somebody lying breathless. I've seen it, and never want to see anything like that anymore....
