We must all die, we know.
Yet, we are taught to avoid risks.
So, no deep sea diving,
no mountain climbing,
no motor racing,
no paragliding,
no going out alone...

On treks or at nights for her.

She followed all the above rules,
joined a medical college.
To learn to help the injured,
who may not follow the rules.
Sitting quietly in her hostel room,
having skipped going down for lunch.
Revising her notes, hoping to top the class...

The Dreamliner crashed into her room.

The Dreamliner was gone.
Her dreams were gone.
She was gone.
To HELL WITH THE RULES!
Get up. MOVE. Do your thing...
Everything you've been putting off.
Enjoy the risks. The pleasures. The fears...

In what disguise is Yama coming for you?









Author Notes:
Strangely, I am feeling more devastated by this plane crash than most other incidents in my life.

More so, the impact it has had on the medical students and doctors who had nothing to do with anything...

Our prayers for the departed.
And may God give strength to the injured and grieving.
