When life throws a curve ball

Fourth death anniversary of Akshay brings to the mind what has been said about life, "Life happens when you are busy making other plans." Akshay was planning a birthday celebration for his furry companion Archy and on playing the new XBox game that he had bought, when this event happened. Isn't death like Medusa, that cursed Gorgon monster with a head full of serpents. One look at her turns you into stone...we feel hard, dry and heavy inside and from then on we are ready to weather any battering from life. Research has shown that being unhappy is okay and its not going to shorten your life, and being happy is not going to prolong it either.So its okay to feel like a Grinch every now and then, because life does throw some curve balls that are hard to handle. Its okay to drop a few catches.
