Hospitals and morphine

I was hospitalised for 2 nights this week .. it started off as a pain in the stomach to become a sever intestine infection which had to be operated upon

No one among my friends or family were told of this .. because I didnt want too many people visiting the hospital or my folks back in India getting worried and thinking about coming to HK just because of this.

But a few things happened while I was on morphine ... the pain was really bad, I actually thought I was about to see my tummy explode and an alien come out of it like it happens in all sci-fi movies, I, for the first time, thought about death ... and it wasnt pleasant.

I thought about what am I doing in this place, lying on a hospital bed while others are just wanting to spend an extra day more to make it their best day ever and so I realised the importance of living and being there for the moment.

And thats what I am going to do. Live it. And make it worthy.

Cheers and touchwood.

PS: an arbit post ... but hey thats where the morphine part comes in ... I am still on the drip.

Have you ever thought?

1. If you werent born to the same parents and family who would you be
2. Who decides that you are born as who you are
3. Who decides you will be a Hindu or Muslim or Christian
4. Who decides you would be born in India or US or Iraq
5. Who decides we are born white, black or brown
6. Who decides that the X chromosome will match up or it will be the Y one
7. Who decides you are born a human
8. Who decides that you should exist at all

I always try to think if there was something I could change in my life what would it be? Just one thing.
1. Would it be hitting my first punch which put me onto being overtly aggressive?
2. Would it be being the cause of me breaking someone's heart which I still feel screwed up about?
3. Would it be to getting back in the fight which I backed out of?
4. Would it be my career choice?
5. Would it be nothing?

If there was one thing God would come and say I could do what would it be?
1. World peace
2. Kill all fanatics
3. Take greed & jealousy away as an evil from all people
.... I would say point 3 here.

If you could be one person among the following categories, who would you like to be?
1. A saint like Mother Tersa, Joan of Arc or someone like them
2. A general like Patton, Caeser, Asoka, Alexander, Ghenghis Khan, Temur or Akbar
3. A politician like Gandhi, Churchil, Roosevelt, Machiavelli or Martin Luther (not King)
4. A celebrity like Madonna, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods or Tendulkar

If you could thank just one person, who would it be
1. God
2. Family
3. Yourself

And finally what would like to be among the following only one choice allowed
1. Sailor like Crusteaou
2. Pilot like Amelia Earhart (w/o vanishing of course)
3. Adventurer like Marco Polo
