He wakes up in the hospital after a long night; unconscious, breathless, with tubes and needles covering him. He wakes up not knowing what happened, not knowing what lies in store for him. All he can see is her beautiful face, all he can feel is the warmth of her touch. His life ended the previous night, but a new one started this very day. A one starting with her and he only has her to thank for it.
I am not a good writer, so I’ll just steal lines from great ones. George Bernard Shaw once said “There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.”
I had a tragedy, I had what I wanted and was going to lose it, in a matter of a breath; it’s absence. We all think about our final day in this world, what people would say about us. What they would feel after we’re gone. Would it matter to anyone? How many people have you touched on this planet, how many have you moved? Who touched you?
It’s funny how you remember the most silliest of things, and in a strange way, I guess that’s what matters. The way the cute girl from your fourth grade shared her lunch with you after the bullies put sand in yours or the way you find that secret letter written to you by the nerdy boy you like who didn’t have the courage to give it to you.
Life is full of surprises, some good and many you could live without: but that’s what life is, a rollercoaster you ride just once, never know what’s around that corner, but you are over excited and screaming to see and feel it. Sometimes you do get sick, sick of the ride and tired of that uneasiness in your stomach; and you just want to get off. But the truth is, you started this ride with many people on board and you are going to get off with them, together, like it or not. And that’s what keeps many going I guess, the fact that we are all in this together.
He holds her close, looks deep in her eyes filled with tears. He wants to say he’ll be there for her no matter what, no matter how nauseating the ride makes them. They paid for it, they are going to finish it together, with each other. He just stays quiet, looks deeper into her eyes, holds her hands and continue this rollercoaster ride…
If I would have ever got a chance to talk to George Bernard Shaw, I would correct him and tell him, the two real tragedies in life are people giving up on their hearts desires and people not knowing them.
I’m not a great writer, I just copy lines...
There are two tragedies in life, one is not knowing your hearts desires and the other is giving up on them.

well, well well!!
If this is a true story, and you really think you "know what your heart wants,then never give up", Goodluck for your journey...
Aren't all stories true?
well, no, i will never sit on a roller coaster, i am shit scared!
I prefer to have my two feet on the ground, exactly where the "creater/evolution" intended it to be.
Nice...
a friend of mine once said...
"why waste...copy paste..."
:-))))
i like the way you are alternating between the characters and yourself...
cool...
What characters?
I play the part of me.
That way, i'm always the lead role..
I guess you already are pretty deep (or rather high) in your roller coaster ride, as far as i know.... and you can't avoid the MOA one for long either... so ..what were u saying?
aaahhhh...
:p

Indeed giving up on your hearts desires and/or not knowing them are tragedies !
Wonderfully explianed in the post !
hmmmm! so u r back at giving worldly advise! m glad! :-)
i don't know about giving up on my heart's desires.
i believe in my instinct cos my heart can be quite misleading.
You stole words from another and made it your own. Must say like yours much better than Shaw's.
I think I am on the first tragedy.. slowly moving to the second one.
will prob meet the third one or create the third on the way! will keep ya updated abt it :)
cheers! gud post
Loved the way you write... First time on your blog. After this post, i plan to write the previous ones.
About the tragedy, the first part might be true but how is teh second part of ' gaining' it becomes a tragedy? i dont know, i just passed through the first gate...
@shoe girl - If you get everything you desire, then u don't have any motivation or eagerness to do anything else. Having aims in life is the one and only way of making it exciting.
@tsu - i am not dead, but if u can improve on my quotes than be my guest..though i would prefer u not having to take the hard route to do that.
@utopia- ur instinct.. i c.. try to use ur brains instead! :)
@Cinderella.. i cant afford lawyers.
@preeti - arent we all?
@keshi - why cant u pursue them.. unless my whole article made u think about that cute bartender whilst u are already in a committed realationship.. other than that i can see no other reason not to pursue dreams and aspirations.
@volublereticent - it took me 6 minutes to figure out what MOA is, and no i am shit scared of rollercoasters.. i sat once, and figured, heartattacks arent something i would like to die of.though considering the amount of junk i eat, might come true soon.
whats the fun in this slow kill?
i expected better from you. at least rollercoasters die out with a thrill..
when/what are you writing next???
