Zindagi (Hindi word for LIFE)

I meandered till I could hardly see. The path was narrow with thorns, I didn't care though because, what I was going through was more than the devilish plants tearing my skin. I never thought the doctor was going to diagnose me with cancer of the lungs. He finally said I had to go for chemo. I stared at him bewildered, not knowing what to say to him. There came my resolve to end this myself. Despite all the incessant wailing from my family, I just barely smiled due to the fact I knew what to do in my heart. These last few years, I had been an ardent and staunt preacher of the word of God. I never thought cancer was going to be what I would have to nurse till I'll give up the ghost.
  I rushed out of the hospital in time for my chemo. I almost got into collision with a nearby car. I would have been grateful if the car had hasten my death.

Hawkers, passersby, traders stared at me. I heard some shouting how I was so daft in not seeing the car, while others blamed the driver of the vehicle for being cruel not to have stopped upon seeing me. As I kept on wandering, my mobile phone kept on beeping. My refusal to answer the never ending calls made me get rid of it(I threw it away). My journey to the shackles of death led to me to a lonely path, I had no idea where I was. Darkness was lurking in by the time I realised where I was. Crickets, owls were enjoying themselves, making different sounds but I didn't even bother about them. I felt the presence of footsteps nearby, as I turned to see who it was, I heard a gunshot. I was the victim! I was shot! As I layed on the ground in my own pool of blood, I saw the hunter who was looking perplexed, on the verge of tears, the last words that came out my mouth was 'Thank You'. He didn't allow me commit the suicide I was about to. He has helped me end it.
I staggered out of bed, sweating profusely. I mummured a quick prayer. It was all a dream. I was unable to sleep till dawn. I remembered a bollywood movie I saw earlier which talked about life(Zindagi) in hindi. I knew this was a revelation to me that vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. Life should be taken as easy as it comes. Free your mind, don't keep grudges, have friends, avoid excesses and always put God first.
