"WHY SO"

It might not be a very right topic to kick off my blog after such a long time.But I just can't get over this thought.The whole night has passed, and my brain is still making my heart beep over this thought.With my this college friend,I am always into the 'so called' stupid conversation, where we just have a nice time pass by praising ourselves, criticizing each other and discussing about new happenings in our and our common friends life. He lets me know that he has one more news, which we usually term as 'khbar'.In normal routine I asked him 'kaisi khbar'. Then he termed 'buri khbar hai' -its a bad news, I still took it lightly, considering it to be a part of daily light conversation.He started off by making me memorize about a guy in our college, although in other class,whom we were not in contact and friend with.The first words that popped from my window were 'that intelligent one', as everyone use to address him.What flashed in my mind, was an image of that guy, standing with a dearth of confidence, expressing his views from his personal sea of knowledge.A person, whom I thought was born with all that knowledge and analysis."Born to accomplish great things which no individual can do commonly".An evident speaker, who could address any kind of audience. I remember his face depicting simplicity in his own ways, pleasant expressions showing off the peace at mind and heart.
I asked my friend" What happened"? Before he could answer me,I made a confident guess in my mind that it would obviously be something related to his job. May be I am only equipped with thoughts related to job, so I guessed the bad news related to that guy's job only.
I could feel the wave of shivering going through my whole body, as I read those three words on chat window;he wrote "He is dead". I went through the struggle in my mind,to accept the fact.I was even more shocked to know, when he updated 'He had blood cancer'. I still did not wanted to believe this.How is this possible, all of sudden? popped in my mind again and again.
Reveal of the fact that this guy was about to get married soon,forced me to take my mind deep into the philosophical thoughts about life.
Questions started hitting my mind.Is Life pre-decided? Is this true that the story of our life is already written and we are just the actors on the stage? That's what Shakespeare meant by one of his creation.
Philosopher in me stated ; we as actors keep struggling for ourselves, but the story of our life is moving on,just like a film.The writer's and producer's work is intact, only we change the direction of our film. The climax remains the same.

I was left in confusing state.Was he aware of this bitter truth and this was the reason of calmness on his face? And he was struggling with extra-ordinary routine life, bringing him all the honors in career and college.That's what life is.

And what is that surrounds our life- job, money, leisure.
I thought that his life some how had a meaning. He did not longed for money or fame, focussed on only his 'karma'.
And this is what,leaves with a word 'intelligent' added to his name.
But, this had to be the end.
God may be fair in deciding the climax, in his own ways. May be I am not aware of the larger picture, what the almighty has painted.

But still I am left with this question in my mind, "WHY SO? "
