Art of Dying?!?!?!?

I thought of adding a picture for this post, but was struck with the thought of what kind of pic can I choose for this? Hardly can think of a pic. So, here we go, without a picture.

"மரணத்தை தேடி இப்படி என்ன ஒரு அவசர ஓட்டம்? வெட்கங்கெட்ட அந்த மரணத்திற்க்கு நாம் வெற்றிலை பாக்கு வைத்து அழைக்க வேண்டுமா? காலால் உதைத்து உதாசீனப்படுத்தினாலும் அதுவே வாலைக் குழைத்தபடி தானே தேடி வருமே! இயர்கையின் பேருதவியுடன் கண்டிபாக அனைவரும் அனாயாசமாக அடையப்போகும் அந்தப் பதவிக்கு அவசரப்பட்டு விண்ணப்பம் போடத் தேவையில்லை"

These are the words KamalHasan wrote about death and ppl who commit suicide, in a 2004 edition of Vikadan Magazine. I was shocked for few moments when I read those words. I was amazed at the ease with which he has asked us to think or face death. I really doubt if I can think this way. Even though I can understand the reality of these words, deep in my heart, I can feel my fear abt death. But if I/we can honestly think this way inside, then nothing in life would be too hard for me/us.

So lets play it COOL mamu :)

1. why sudden post on suicides? Is it any special day?

2. Even i love kamal's literary sense and knowledge. He speaks abt taking inspirations from lot of literary figures, but his words got that special attraction!

3. suicides are not worth it. it's part of cowards's dictionary!

Satu:There's no spl reason for post on suicides, just those words from Kamal touched me. Its not only abt suicide, it means even about our fear of death. Thanks for your bold comment, i guess many would choose not to comment for this post ;)

Suicide is a very personal thing. Even though it is believed to be a well thought out process, it is impulsive. And anyone can be impulsive. But yeah, there is a little bit of mystery attached to death. That doesnt make me suicidal though, just curious.

when your dearest dies unexpectedly, the grief is really unbearable and naturally you too want to invite death .
