Epiphany ooorrr just funnnny??

I know it sounds so cheesy to write about something which changes your life...I have read so many articles, books, blogs, and in-numerous novels that start like ..
I had an epiphany... Or
My life changed that day...Or
I started looking at life from a different perspective...
I have newfound respect for life...
.
.
...and so on...Do I bore you guys with something that starts like that?

Naa...You guys are all brilliant, and everybody knows how to take care of oneself..mostly...
But still, sometimes you do make mistakes, rather we do make mistakes...
We think it is "OK" to postpone little details like "oh my leg is hurting..I will go to the doc tomorrow.."...and u never know that pain in the leg comes and bites u in the ass just a few months down the line...as some big disease...
Hmmm...overload?? hehe..Sorry was trying to be a little dramatic there.

It is actually funny that even when I was on the hospital bed and recovering, I could still find things around me humorous... I was in semi-ICU for a couple of days (after my angioplasty was done, before you ask that is a whole different story). 

So picture this it is 3 am in the night or early morning, the bed to my right had an old lady, and the bed to my left had an even older lady. And both were so much in pain and tired and frustrated, but still bitching and cribbing about each other...
Old lady one would shout, "I am hungry give me rice or laddu or kheeeer" and the old lady two would throw in a derogatory reply and command, "who is that mhatari (old woman) and would someone please shut her up...." as if it is not a hospital but a royal suite and she is "the Queen"...
And believe me, this would go on and on, their cribbing and shouting at each other. 
and me being me could not stop laughing at hearing such comments...

It made me realize, no matter what happens my attitude towards life will never suffer... And no matter how tough times are there is always a bright side or lighter side to it. 
And the lesson here is please find time to laugh and lighten up even though your schedule is busy, life is always going to be hard. However, you can choose whether to crib or laugh about it.
