Mysteries of life

The Malaysian airplane has been missing for a week now. Many possibilities are being suggested. Isn't it surprising that an airplane as high tech as the Boeing 777 should vanish without a trace despite all the high tech gadgetry that runs our lives? All this tells us that we are not as invincible as we make ourselves out to be. There is still something that can outdo us. Many things are still beyond our ken...the mysteries of life and the secrets of death. And when the pain is unbearable, we take recourse in the cycle of life and rebirth and hope to meet those we loved and lost.
