No one can have the real taste of
losing, unless one had lost someone special. You lose a commodity,
and may find it the next day, or lose a friend and make another one,
nothing can move you as it does when one has lost a closest friend.
When she goes far off from scene it hurts you, it pain you, it takes
away your sleep, your appetite and everything under your command,
and only then one realizes this that the friends should have been
taken lightly. I had never bothered in my life to spare time for
others as I had someone, who used to spare time and always took care
of me. I was not to love, but I always thought to be the “beloved
one” as the warmth and affection had always come from the other
side. And when she was no more with me - I had been left alone in
the bewilder ness of this world, I had no one to talk with, no one
to wipe tears rolling down my cheeks. It was indeed the most
difficult time of my life. I had never been so helpless, so hopeless
as I was at that time.

My feelings of despair,
discontentment, frustration and agony of losing had started haunting
my mind. I had become intolerable for others. The pleasant cool wind
touched me as it had been a fire and I felt as I had been exposed to
scorching heat. I had the strange feelings - very different
thoughts. I had simply gone selfish. I remained almost in the state
of comma for quite sometime unless, one fine morning, after a
sleepless night, I saw my mother, lying in her bed in pensive mood,
casting her eyes in the roof. It looked as she had not slept the
whole night. It jolted me further when I learnt that she had been in
this miserable condition, due to my losing interest in life. It
reminded me of the hard fact that I had been a source of worry for
my mother. The new realization suddenly changed the patron of my
thoughts. I realized as I had been acting very selfish with the one
for whom I had been very special. I had been perhaps not fair with
my mother by not caring for her feelings. New feelings provided me
new lease of life as another thought had come to my mind. I should
have been living for others. I should have learnt to come true to
others expectations. I should have helped others in their hour of
need, I should have learnt to heel others wounds. And I learnt it
all after I had lost someone special.
