We walk both with happiness and sorrow but the sense is different. Our mind is low with sorrow and high with happiness. Getting happiness is normal but getting life from near death is eternal pleasure. These eternal pleasures are rare since nature hardly gives us such chances. Among such rare chances, one happened to my life also.
I was excited to fly in the plane ‘coz it was my first time in my life. We took off from Kathmandu and directed towards Bhairahawa. It was my best friend’s wedding and our destination was the sacred place of Hindu, Banaras. Almost 19 people were there along with groom. I was peeping through the window to see the land below. The Valley appeared slowly distant from our plane. We left valley after crossing the Chandragiri hill that is situated at south-west of Kathmandu valley.
All the difficult terrain along with beautiful green Terai, my eyes were enjoying and playing hide and seek with. I wish I had caught those beautiful views in the camera but I did not have. It was my country Nepal, my beautiful country full of diversity of localities, cultures, weathers, ethnicities, religions, flora and fauna. Different people with different ethnicity, culture and religion have been living peacefully with great joy for hundreds of generations in this small country within 180 km across from plain Terai to the soaring heights of Himalayas.
I was almost lost in my pride my country till plane drops down for a while. Everybody was screaming and they were panic. Almost everybody was dropping tears down their face. I could see the fear in the eyes of air-hostess as well. She was not able to convince the passengers. As far my concern, I was just able to hide the fear. After some time, plane took its pace and flew ahead. After few minutes we were trapped in the strong force of wind and the plane was trembling. Such trembling happened again and again.Though pilot wanted to go back Kathmandu, he could not since the fuel was not enough for Kathmandu. It abruptly walloped my mind, ‘life is just till this time only.’ and remembered my parents, brothers, relatives and friends. Probably I cried within myself. I was on the way where I would not have come back from. Everybody was praying their god for safe landing.
Finally, we were jarred out of the blue. It was already Bhairahawa airport we had landed. We thanked god and thanked the pilot for safe landing. I jumped from plane. 'Hurray…!!! We've got the second life.'
