Those who saw Final Destination, I am sure would have been intrigued by the self-doubt, as to’ why I have not thought of this ‘
As we enter a New Birth Day, we inch closer to Natural Death.
(As an aside, Hindus, till recently were not in the habit of celebrating the Birth Day;Ayush Homa is celebrated every birth day till the Fifth year of the child;then sixtieth Birth Day,Shastiapthapoorthy ,Sathaabhisekam, 80 Birth day and in rare case the completion of the hundredth year.It is of of interest to note that according to Hindu Sastras, the Human Life Cycle for the present Aeon,Kali Yuga, is 120 years;Shastiapthapoorthy being the exact half of this Life cycle is celebrated with pomp)
Life is the process of nearing Death every day,Biologically.
In essence it is a struggle to avoid death,Life is.
As essayed in Final Destination,Death catches up with you even if you try.(as though it were possible)
The incidence reproduced below reminds one of Final Destination.
Read it in her WordPress blog, though she is no more.
‘Ms. Ghawi, an aspiring sports journalist known professionally as Jessica Redfield, was at a Toronto mall in June 2012 when a gunman killed a 25 year old male and injured seven others. In a blog entry – the last she would ever write – she describes how she went to the mall to get sushi but changed her mind at the last minute and got a burger and fries instead. She then made a purchase and, according to the entry, ‘felt funny… a feeling that was overwhelming enough to lead me to head outside in the rain to get fresh air instead of continuing back into the food court to go shopping at SportCheck.’ Either event may have saved her life. The gunman started shooting at 6.23pm, minutes after Ms Ghawi’s purchase was made at 6.20pm. One of the victims was found in the same place where she would have been if she’d ordered sushi.
A month later, Jessica Ghawi was living in Denver and working as an intern for a local radio station. On July 20, 2012, she attended the ill-fated midnight screening of The Dark Knight and was killed when a gunman entered the theatre and opened fire. You can read her chillingly prophetic blog entry'( Listverse)
