After completing a lecture on Glaucoma, while sitting at my desk in the college I noticed a sparrow. It came and sat on one of the leaves of a coconut tree just in front of my window. It was trying hard to fly. Unfortunately, its trials were not successful. I was observing this for 10-12 minutes and was wondering why it was not able to fly. I then went near the window and saw that it was having some injury and was bleeding. I restricted myself to approach the sparrow as I never wanted to scare it away. All that I was able to do was to observe. Nothing else came to my mind. After a few minutes, with its great efforts, the sparrow successfully flew away with all the freedom!

At times, life seems to be just so simple and sometimes the face of life is very complicated. And this is the reason behind life being so capricious. One struggles for achieving a lot of things in life, may it be in one’s personal life or professional well-being. The whole of our life is just not enough to understand its real denotation, and on the contrary, sometimes just a single moment is more than enough to sense the essence of the whole life. And this depends on the company of the people we live in. I am sure that 27 years are not enough to give any bottom-line proclamation about life. But I have experienced a lot of things on the journey of my life to date. These experiences have taught me many crucial chapters of life. From a pool of all these experiences, I can articulate that life is unpredictable.
