I love you

Legendary Bollywood actor Sunil Dutt had a heart attack in his sleep and passed away this afternoon. I just finished watching Armageddon. Funnily enough, these two seemingly unrelated events have got me in a philosophiocal mood (yes I'm the kind of guy who can get philosophical after watching Armageddon, so sue me). They got me thinking about the uncertainity of life. The randmomness in life I talked about in the first post manifests itself in numerous ways, one of them being this. What if an asteroid were to hit us and exterminate all life on Earth tomorrow? OK, fine, that's pretty unlikely; what if an earthquake, or a cyclone, or a bomb blast (these are getting pretty common too these days), or any other such "unpredictable" calamity were to occur tomorrow? Or tonight as we sleep? I, for one, can think of tons of things I'd leave unfinished if I were to die tonight. I'm yet to travel the world, I'm yet to savour the delicacies of various cultures and nations, I'm yet to start my career and be on my way to materialistic things such as cars and bungalows. But these things are secondary. What would top my list would be not being able to tell my loved ones how much I love them. My parents, my little sister, my close friends, I love each one of them, but as is the case with most of the human population, I don't say it enough. So this goes out tonight to all my loved ones. If I don't wake up tomorrow, please read this blog and know that you were loved and appreciated and valued. I bet Sunil Dutt wishes he'd had the same oppurtunity that I have now. But life is random.
