Known Question, Unknown Answer

Everyday when I getup from my bed the clock kept on my television table scares me. It makes me to go nuts and make me to run all around. Hastiness gets induced into my brain, body and soul. Run for shower and run back - pull few clothes just to cover the body. Take a quick run to station - train pulls to station with its running wheels. The train runs to drop me to my destination. I catch running escalators in the station and run on streets. Apologies pour when I bump into office goers but the flow does not stop. Every single moment the heart reminds - you are late, keep up the pace and reach office as soon as possible.

This is how every morning runs in my day. But very occasionally, whenever my eyes catches the morning bulletin of Metro, I grab the paper and have a glance on headlines. You can imagine, hastiness prevents me to go through story details. However, I love peeping into someone else reading the paper to get a glimpse of headlines. Recent days I have been seeing Jade Goody in news. Once she was in limelight for racial reasons. But now she is suffering - suffering with deadly cancer.

I am starting to wonder how does it feels when someone know they will die in few more days. Well, it is a fact that everyone dies one or the other day. But when you know certainly how long you will live -things become really different. I can't even imagine, how she must have been feeling but definitely it can't be a nice feeling, I'm sure.
