Passed by

A bicycle rolled by, the child riding it expertly, half pedaling, half pushed by another child running behind, half laughing, half gasping.

The warn morning breeze of spring greeted Ketan, as he looked out of the only window of his 2nd floor apartment. How long has it been? 22 springs? The same breeze, the same warmth. The same empty street below. He took a deep breath of the freshness that is spring.

The minutes whilst away, as he lay by the window gazing out to the barren road below. What passes through his mind, none can tell. It has been 22 years since he finally got a job and moved out of his parent's. And ever since, in this small two room apartment, alone, living a quiet life.

Maybe he is looking back to his life; two and twenty years ago, he might have had dreams.; maybe he is dreaming about his old dreams, dreams that never came to pass. Maybe he is thinking about life, and how many more springs he have to endure, lying there, by the window gazing out to the empty street, until he can meet the final embrace of mother earth.

The two boys were arguing whose turn it was on the over-sized bicycle.

I didn't see the tag before, otherwise I would have used this as an excuse to make a post. Well, and to make the previous post less conspicuous, otherwise, people may think I am suicidal and may start recommending counseling.

Eight things I want to do before I die (In no particular order):

'To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure"

I was wondering, whether I have lived for too long, and the time to rest has come nigh. Well, some say they want to live for 120, or forever or such things, but I have no such desire. I just want to live, a few more years, that's it. Or maybe a few days. I think I have lived my life. I can proudly say that yes, I lived. It brings a smile to me when I say that. Because truly, I feel as if I have achieved what I lived for.

You may get the wrong idea that I am suicidal. No! Absolutely not! I shall never... when I am mentally sound, would not commit such a cowardly act! But you know, what I am saying is like, if something bad to me happens, and I am no longer there, I would happily pass away. And there will be no such thing like, 'if only' things.

I don't know what make me think of these things. When I was a child, I was afraid of death, that one day I would die. I was so young and childish. It makes me smile every time I reminisce those childish thoughts. I thought the moon keeps following me every night.

I have lived a happy life. I have experience what I could. I see a happy past. I livea happy present. I do not know wither then? Shall I be reborn again? Or pass on to nothingness? Shall I become one with the One? I do not know. But yes, I am ready for the next great adventure.
