How would you like to die

Our revered Ex-President APJ Abdul Kalam passed away. His final moment came swiftly and while doing what he loved the most. Meeting young minds, interacting with them, bringing forth myriad issues concerning the nation and prodding the youth to find a solution.

Steve Irwin, the famous 'Crocodile Hunter' and wildlife expert from Australia, died not only doing what he loved but also by what he loved - wild creatures. He was barbed by a sting ray.

Phil Hughes, the Australian cricketer, died playing cricket.

Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian racing star, died on tracks while driving his car.

Maharaja Jaisingh of Jaipur died playing polo, the sport he was  sopassionate about.

So what would be I upto when I die? 

Weaving dreams? Making plans? Whatsapping? 

And what would I like to be doing when I die?

I think I know this. Maybe researching something on nature. 

Where would I like to die?
In the lap of nature, on a bed of moss. With a merry stream gurgling by and a meadow of luscious green grass in sight. With a few majestic mountains (snow capped) as a backdrop and the sun streaming in. I would like to die in morning. Yes, I love the sun. 

As to the date, I think I've an inkling of when I will die. 
I was born on 21st day of a month which was a full moon day. 
I was married on a 23rd, which again was a full moon day. 
I feel that I will die on the 25th day of a month - whichever happens to be a full moon day, thus completing janam, paran and maran (birth, marriage and death), the three most important events in one's life, all on consecutive odd full moon days. Morbid, eh? But beautifully symmetrical, wouldn't you agree!

Dear reader, do contemplate on how you might die. If you don't like what you see in your mind's eye, do less of that and more of how you would ideally like to say goodbye to this life. It's never too late or even too early to think about it!
