She was once special but somehow has lost her care of the world. The joy of life and living has left her, and when that goes, life is no longer fun or interesting. It is different, full of burden, and sorrow. Somehow her joy has gone and it is not something to capture again or retrieved.

It is not one or the other, it is just that at some point you have to be involved in your life, in the life you are living, and in recapturing the essence of your life. And somehow, it seemed like a missed opportunity.

Always grab joy whenever you get it, no need to plan and do it next time or when the time is right. Anu’s lesson to pass on is to always grab life by the pull and not to be persuaded by the circumstances of life, and living a life of joy, happiness, and ease should be the priority of all.

So even as she departs, that is the lesson, the gift that is passed on. She has lived, not always in ayni, sometimes struggled, and in difficulty, so even as time got tough, or got going, that joy should be there. Somehow she had lost that joy a long time ago, but her life is nearing, coming to a conclusion. You will get a call, don’t be bothered or spooked by it.

Life is interesting, mysterious, and a whole lot of fun and surprises. But somehow, Anu never really found her joy. Her disability was a handicap, it disabled her, or she let it disable her and that is no way to live a life.

She came and lived. She came and saw. She came and be and that is what it was, a sum of a life lived. But there are questions that need to be answered. No action goes unheard and unpunished.
