Hws life?

My friend Vandana asked me a question on the social networking site 'Orkut'. Here follows her question and my exact answer to her. I haven't tried to correct any spelling mistakes, grammer or sentence formats. All is as i wrote in my answer.

Vandana: hiii...hws life?

Me: life??? hmm... i dont think orkut allows as many characters to describe life as is needed. still, i'll try my best to answer.

life is as usual. which means it is going on at its own pace and bidding and there is nothing suggesting its usualness. if i take my daily habits as a measure of usualness, still its not usual in the sense that its not at the same time, same manner and same mood as i was in earlier. if i take my job as a measure, i encounter many patients- some seriously sick and some less so- nothing suggesting usualness. hell! even my sleep pattern isn't usual! life and death pass by my eyes as if i was a visitor watching a movie in a movie hall. people pass my doors to health or to the afterlife in the same manner in which they pass the security guards of our hospital- without asking their permission. though they-and me too, try and dissuade the ones not authorized by our authority but who are we to dissuade anyone who comes by taking a pass issued by the higher authority???

thats whats usual about my life. unusual, but what we call usual. ur life is the same. as is everyone else's.

there is nothing usual about life. life is unique. thats what we need to understand and try to live to the fullest!
