Have u ever met ur death?

Yeah…I felt it n met it for a while. I wanna tell u – it’s true.
The day (August 08, 2006) was horrible.
The story is:
I visited a Picnic spot near to city with some of my relatives, this place I’d never seen before. It’s amazing. It’s a fountain – Garvaji, situated among mountains, having rocks as high as sky, as straight as walls!( seems to have no vertical limits – for human brain)
When u c these rocks with ur eyes upward, u wonder n just sit on ur knees, astonishing the natural scenery here.(By the way, my city is surrounded by one of the world’s oldest mountain ranges –‘The Aravalis’.)
This place has many small pools developed naturally all through the way in mountains.
There’s a temple at a height on mountain. As soon as we reached there, I decided to take a refreshing mouthwash n reached to a nearby pool (more like a wide pit).
All of a sudden…I got slipped by the moss n entered into the water as an oblique. And soon reached to the middle of water. My whole body was inside the water.Though it wasn’t large n deep but I couldn’t manage myself coz 1) I didn’t know how to swim n 2) it happened within the moments. I tried a lot but… all this wasn’t worth. I heard 3-4 sounds of Gulup-Gulup, inhaling water into my lungs n moreover I heard… that now I am No More!
Making every possible (n I think-irregular too) move with my hands n legs, when I couldn’t achieve success to make my face outside the water, I lost every hope…
I was about to be unconscious…within 2 more seconds. I felt that someone (probably, the surface of the pool) was trying to pull me inside n water wanted to dissolve me in it!(one of the five elements of body).
I became a fish without gills to breathe n fins to swim!
In water, a human being wriggles as a fish do outside the water.
I yearned to breathe air.
Somebody, coming up the way, saw the incident n offered his hand inside the water, by that time; I could’ve managed to have a wrist outside the water seeking for help but whole of my body was inside the water, loosing every hope.
My eyes weren’t able to c anything but a jelly-like fog.
He pulled me out with the help of our car’s driver.
My nostrils filled with water didn’t seem ready to breathe…somehow after some moments; I came to have a breath.
******
It seems to me as if nature evaluated my life till now n found it of no use for the world, n wanted me to throw away!

Anyway, it makes me think about transitoriness of life.
This moment u r n the another moment u r no more!
