God has already fixed the year, the month, the day, the hour, and the moment when you and I are to leave this earth and go into eternity; but the time is unknown to us. we All know that they must die: but the misfortune is, that many view death at such a distance, that they lose sight of it.” losing someone we love… most of us try not to think about the Death, But does it really matter? After all, death comes to us all whether we like it or not. What can we possibly gain from discussing it? Here goes Shanaya's letter to death

    Let's get a life | Episode 03

    Life is all about feelings; Some shown, expressed by words & actions, or sometimes merely through eyes . And some unspoken and unsaid; preserved, secured deep down in the bottom of your heart. Life is all about memories; Bittersweet memories. Some full of joy, zeal; and some completely opposite. But all the memories are worth it. Each and every memory leaves a life - long lesson behind it. Life is all about relationships; Some of blood and some made up of just love, affection and care. We make lots of friends in our lifetime. And knowingly or unknowingly, generally or suddenly sometimes we end up having antagonists too; but they're just a reminder of how important your loved ones are or should be to you.
