Don't say that...

With such tough blows in life, most of us question our own worthiness (and sometimes, our guilty conscience) for being alive...

and of course, there are those moments when we wonder how God let's some people free...unscathed...despite the scars they have created in someone's life...

Eventually, death is certain for everyone...no one escapes it, whether deserving or undeserving.

I believe our time is clocked from themoment we are born and it is already written when we will go.

r

And when that time is up...ready or not...we must go.

I have seen people prolonging life with medicines and treatment and exercise and then in one freak accident...they are gone.

I have seen people banging their head on the wall that they want to go...and throw a huge tantrum by overdosing on pills...and yet, some freak person witnesses the act and takes them to the hospital...and so they are still alive.

In all this melodrama, the person who saves is called a "hero"...the person who is saved is called a "victim"...the person who is still struggling alone is called "moody and depressive"...the person who choosesto giveupand die andis called "undeserving to live" and the personwho fought but yet died is called "unfortunate, gone too soon".

Have you ever observed otherpeople at a fruit and vegetable market?

Their eyes are looking exclusively for the ripe, juicy fruits to purchase.

Of course, some don't have manners and squeeze the pulp of the fruit so deeply to check it's ripeness...that it leaves the fruit damaged with soft bruises on it's surface.

No one buys a damaged fruit and hence that fruit alone is left to rot on its own amongst the others.

Some taste the fruit without buying it and spit it out saying "not good quality"...

no one is going to buy a fruit that someone else has tasted and rejected...

and that fruit goes to rot alone too.

(This makes me wonder if fruitshad real emotions, wouldn't they feel they are being "raped" by humans too?)

But sometimes, I've noticed myself searching for a while and then picking upan unripe fruit and taking it to my home.

The market vendor willask "Madam, why did you take this? Wait...I will get a better one for you..."

And I will be like..."No, this is the one I want...I'm paying for it..."

That unripe fruit stays in my little fruit basket at home for a few days...

during that time, it remains unharmed by other people's squeezing hands...it grows riper and juicier...

and because of that extra patience and time I gave it to grow in my house...

when I finally eat it - it tastes that much delicious too...

It tastes so good that I need to ask myself "Is this what Heaven feels like? <a href="http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CAcQjRxqFQoTCMbviM_4scgCFaQ0pgodAEEP0g&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.animationlibrary.com%2Fsc%2F81%2FFruits%2F%3Fpage%3D4&psig=AFQjCNGTjJ8vhvwWqBh_92iL8g43CwSdYw&ust=1444361616556103"></a>

I think God works in such strange ways too.

Hechooses to takethe unripe fruits on Earth to his own garden and let's them grow, flourish and nourish under his own care.

He protects them from unwanted harm.

I feel kutty Shreyas is still growing and ripening in God's palace.

His body isfree from suffering...free from hospital visits...free from medications...

But his soul isstill growing and shining and smiling in God's protective care.

As for you, Satish...keep calm because you're stillgrowing steadily here along with us...

meanwhile, have faith that lighter days and brighter smiles are coming ahead for you very soon...

Manorama 1937-2015

Gopishanta aka manorama aka Aachi is no more.

But the legacy she leaves behind will stand the test of time and her performances
will remain a syllabus for all actors now and forever.Even among giants such as shivaji,nagesh,savitri,balaiah she stood tall and matched their talent with talent.
Old is gold and will forever remain gold and will never tarnish or vanish.
Thank you Aachi for all the great films and for the lessons in acting.
Godspeed woman and i hope there is a huge reception waiting for you in heaven where i hope you will entertain them gods forever.
In my opinion of who the greatest actors are,shivaji comes first followed by a few actors who all equally rank second in talent and by the variety of roles they have portrayed.Nagesh,manorama,savithri,balaiah,ranga rao,m.r.radha and kamalhassan.In third place come radhika and sri priya..
