The first person I met after I was born

You all must be thinking that this passage is about mother,father or parents or something like that, but it is not so. The first person I met in this world which seemed so glamorously wonderful was someone extremely special and I am sure that all my readers are acquainted with him that too much intimately. He is the reason that I am able to do the tasks which I do. Now don't think that I am talking about god or any supernatural power. But the one I am talking about is surely not lower than magical or miraculous. Now let's end the suspense, the one I am addressing is
Life.

For me, life is not less than a person maybe whom I cannot see or touch but I can certainly feel him. He is the mere reason of my existence. He is supernatural and paranormal because no one has been able enough to explain him till now. Nor the researchers and scientists who are toiling away day and night to find his source and neither the philosophers, authors and poets who are not capable of restraining his existence in words.

From the moment I stepped in this world, he has been present in my every moment whether joyful or sorrowful. Life has been my best friend, trustworthy companion, caring guardian, strict teacher,frustrating sibling and many more. He has provided me with the experience which is responsible for making me who I am. It is because of him I think the way I think, he makes me do things the way I do and he is power behind the way I interact.

There always comes a time in front of an individual when he is naive, immature,childish and peurile. Everything seems so unbelievably pure and beautiful that the heart wishes it to remain in the same condition forever. The world approaches him wearing a facade of fancy, magnificence and charm and he being innocent and unaware of the harsh reality returns the gesture with equal fervour and excitement. But when the world starts showing her true colours, he becomes regretful and gets defeated. But ' Victory is the sweetest when you have known defeat'.Some shrug the failure as the first, some get depressed by the thought of it but smart are those who learn from it and take up the upcoming challenges with greater passion, zeal and energy. The journey goes on and what is gained is experience, knowledge, sense and maturity.

Life is the greatest teacher. It educates us how to survive. When my mind goes on a conflict between right and wrong and confusion gets etched on my face he stays with me and reminds me of all the past instances and my mistakes in those decisions. He enlightens my confidence which was lost somewhere deep and guides me in every step I take.

He becomes my greatest friend at the time of joy, glee and happiness. He becomes the reminder of the hard work, sweat and toil I bid on it, of which the joy is a consequence. He is a live witness of the barriers and hurdles which I faltered upon. He is an utterly honest secret bearer of my extremely intriguing journey.

He indeed is a trustworthy companion. Whenever I get drained out of energy, all I require a few moments of tranquility with him. His silence is enough to stabilise my soul, heart and mind. The civil mental wars subside under the effect of his invisible messages.

Sometimes he does not fail to vex me just like a sibling. No matter how much I endeavour but he gets stuck at not giving me the fruit of my labour, and people add fuel to the already blazing fire through their taunts and sarky comments. But it seems he could not care less and goes on throwing his unending tantrums. But when my input processes out results, it is me who realises that 'It takes time for the fruit of effortfully sown hard work to ripen its yield and present it in its most pleasing and delighting disposition.

It is not wise to let this ally go away from you. It is not that only death has faculty to steal this compadre. Even you can, by your own will, outcast him from this undirectedly unpredictable voyage. The absence of him would turn you similar to a living corpse walking on an unknown path. You would be breathing but not 'LIVING'. So, till you do not exempt him from this cruise he would not abandon you until your last breath.

Till you have him, cherish him, enjoy his company. Let bygones be bygones and strive for the future. Gain experience. Forgive but do not forget.

LIVE YOUR LIFE.
