Will you cry??

Under Sruthi Kannan's pressure (?!), I started reading my second book!!! "Who will cry when you die?". Full of life lessons from Robin Sharma.. Too big for a small kid like me to understand actually!! [;)]. Though the title sounds strange.. The main crux is.. "When you were born, you cried when the whole world rejoiced!! Live a life in such a way that when you die, the whole world cries while you rejoice!!". And the author has tried to give 101 lessons to make a person like me perfect!! So sad of him!!! I failed in every lesson of his!!!

Atlast when I completed it, I was thinking of who will cry for me when I die!!! So sad again!!! No one will cry for me for I don't have any big impact on anyone [atleast as of now!!].

Too many questions in my mind after reading the book...!!! Am I living a life I wanted?? Am I good?? Am I cherishing all relationships?? Am I happy?? Am I living a life [first of all!!!]???? ... Hmmm.. My answers.. I think I answered them pretty early!!!! Looking for the answers.. to all my questions.. in my life!!!

And I still remember one incident that happened when I was reading this book!! I happened to call Tiger and told her that I'm reading a book with such a title.. She started scolding me on hearing the title!! Then I told the crux of it.. And told her, "the author has given 101 ways to be good!!.. I'm just trying to find in how many things I've gone bad!! So far I've read 43 lessons for life.. And sadly I'm bad with respect to all 43 chapters!!!" She guffawed for hours for no good reason!! I told my mom the same thing.. And she too started laughing!!! Is that sounding that stupid?? Omg!!

@ Siddaarth: I think I should!! Its in the hands of people around me.. For they gonna influence how I'm going to life my life!!!

I think ur life is in ur hands. Its u who has to decide how u want to live ur life. Its not in the hands of ppl arnd u. Ppl arnd u can only guide u. They can't dictate your life.

@ (Shri)Vidhya : Of course.. My life is in my hands.. But.. The people around me has some impact on it!! Their activities may influence my life to some extent...

You can only take the horse to the pond and keep its face near the water.. Its upto the horse to drink it or not!

@ (Sruthi Kannan) tsvuij: I always like if someone feeds the water to the horse instead of keeping it near!!!

There's both good and evil in this world. You can't get influenced by everything. U have to take the good and leave the bad.

"I always like if someone feeds the water to the horse instead of keeping it near!!!" ... This is spoon feeding or otherwise called as laziness :)

@ (Shri)Vidhya: It can rightly be called as "Demanding Comfort!!" even... It's how one perceives things!!!
