In today's busy life we can hardly spare some time for introspection. But I remember, when I was a kid, I used to talk a lot to myself, to some imaginary person around me. They say children can see Angels and God till the age of 5 and when they grew up, they lost the memories.
With time, I grew up and I lost in my world of books, friends, crushes n all, I really lost my imaginary partner. Neither I bother to recall him nor he ever came to talk to me. If this is true that God respond to Pure hearted people as child then why he stopped talking to me now?
I got better friends, some real friends and a lot of responsibilities also. So, I could not get time to think of the lost friend of mine. But all my education, all my friends and relative and research is not capable of answering one Question- what is life? Sometimes, life seems as a bed of roses at other time, it is a path of thorns. Whatever, it is, everyone is living their part of life in their own way and find solution to problems coming at times. Everyone is managing their life their way and passing marks is not very high. But there is a difference in spending a life and living a life.
We all face good time and bad time in our life, we enjoy, we shatter, we stood back and we live our life. Some are fortunate enough to have good people around who always support and stand for them, some are not. Some are blessed with a luxurious life, others have to live on road. There must be someone who decide all this and what is the criteria fixed by him?
Whenever I got good marks, I thank him. For giving me best parents, my job, getting a good husband I always appreciate him. If I can give credit for my good time to him, I can also blame him for my bad time. I blame him for snatching my mother, for giving this pain to my family and specially to my father. I felt that he reply back, by some person, article or movie if not directly.
Now, when I talk to him, he is not around me or maybe I can not see him. Maybe I am no more a pure hearted person, maybe I don't deserve to be his friend but I need him. All this education, a good earning job, my hubby can not answer my queries. Then I replied in his own way, through my daughter. Her smile is my life and I realized, he is always near me, he was inside me once but I could not recognize him.

It was my fault, I stopped talking to him and I lost in the world of miseries. I again started talking to him and He said "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness is. Similarly, you will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
Aristotle, Plato could not describe the Life completely, then who the hell am I? I searched on Wikipedia even, but it also failed to give an exact answer. I asked my friends, Parents, relatives for the answer, but all are sailing in the same boat.
And finally I got my answer from my childhood friend. I realized, no matter to what extent we ignore the thirst to find the answer to our existence, the quest will get stronger only and it can be solve by spirituality only.
My friend asked me to live my life to the max serving Humanity. Pure thoughts for ourself and all around us leads to a better and content life. So, I stopped searching for the meaning but start living it----LIFE.
