Life is a game of Snakes and Ladders

It could have been disappointment regarding career growth, emotional insecurities, lack of courage to face the uncertainties of life, loneliness or anything, but nothing justifies the drastic step taken by 34 year old Bollywood Actor Sushant Singh Rajput to cruelly end his life by committing a suicide. He has only given pain to all those who loved him. Sushant Singh Rajput was not only a young actor I admired, he was also my close friend Rani’s brother.
Life is a game of Snakes and Ladders. In one move we climb a ladder and are elated by the achievement, in another move we are devoured by a snake and slide down to start all over again. We have to accept this inherent nature of life, factor in uncertainty, take courage, be patient, believe in self and never lose hope.
Last three months of lock-down due to the Pandemic Covid-19 has created an unusual situation and people around the world have been facing anxiety, psychological disturbances, depression and loneliness.
This is the time to be mentally strong, to strengthen everybody around you with positivity and positive talk. PAUSE from whatever you are busy doing. Talk to your loved ones about what’s bothering them. Listen patiently, ask them about their well-being. Help them if you can, seek help if you need it. The key is to talk your heart out to your dear ones.
Do not be in a hurry. Life is not a 20-20 match nor is it a 5 day test match it is a long and beautiful journey with many shades.
