As told in my introduction....this is my first blog and hence needs to be a serious one. Life has so much to offer in its own way. Like every body else, I also keep getting my own share of ups and downs in life. Since last few years I have started to maintain a balance sheet of every 10 years of Profit & losses. This would change to 5 years if I touch 50 years of my life and subsequently to 3 years after I reach 65 years.....
But how do you calculate the net gain or net loss during last 10 years starting 2000.....getting closer and dependable to wife, having two beautiful adorable kids, making a secure & so called successful business career, gaining social respectablity, driving more then decent cars, travelling the globe, living in a comfortable house, listing to the best of the music on best of the music systems, eating & drinking well, wearing almost the best, watching your kids grow, seeing them becoming sensitive towards you, caring and loving you, enjoying good times with friends......are some of the gains of last 10 years. Trust me any body will trade off these priceless gains with their life......but then whats life with out losses.
Watching your younger brother then aged 25 years being diagnosed Brain Tumour in 2000, letting your mother who was then quite in decent health suddenly getting hospitalised every month after this, wathing your mother getting into Coma in July 2001 and miraculously surviving this onslaught, watching her slowly dieing from that time onwards till she finally passes away on 11th Nov 2001 (the day she brought me in this world....my B'day), still not knowing what took her life medically despite all the tests diagnosis etc, seeing the cancer coming back at my brother in 2004, getting his brain surgery done again and finding him only 60% back after surgery : his left side paralised, seeing a 6" youngster struggling to wear a shirt, open a bottle cap, walking with out a stick and even eating with out a napkin, seeing the dreaded cancer finally spreading its wings in July 2005, finding numerous questions in his eyes and having no answers to any of those, watching him fading away slowly and steadily and being with helpless & frustrated family doing just nothing, stopping all his so called great advanced medicines (chemotherapy) to give him comfort till the time he finally ceases to exist on 29th Jan 06, having all the money, power and contacts in the world but still unable save our family in become half in just 5 years duration, watching my not so old father becoming suddenly very old after all this, wondering why god did this to my father: who is the best person in the world I have ever seen..........
I would request every body to kindly assess my balance sheet and let me know where does it stands today.......life showed glimpses of Gross Gains but its the Net Profit which really matters

Gaurav Hajela..whom a few years ago i knew as Deepu Da....Has become one of the closest freinds/big bro ( i m not finding a word to express my relationship with him) in recent times.I believe we share a common philosphy of life. His brother whom he talks about in his first blog was (would remain ever in my heart) one of the best friends. I have seen him as well as family to face the circumstances and also to come out of it.....
Hope he continues to keep on writing blogs...
I will always be with him.....
Luv
Anil

Thanks Anil, you were the pillar of strength to Dabboo. Nobody would have ever imagined that u n me can be so close to each other sharing so many things in life. Keep up the good things.....
life is never measured on balace sheets or net gains.This is a process with no date line.Its evaluated and judged on day to day basis.Its a dynamic entity which never ends.What matters is how you keep pace and of course peace with it.If at the end of the day you go to sleep happily then the day has been good to you but if you dont then next day try to get there.This is important because tomorrow is never certain but the present moment is.Find peace and your journey of life is succesfull.Fortunately its not impossible but yes it does require some great effort from your side.So I think one must always work for this.
So Deepu slog on for this and not the balace sheets.
May the force be with you,
