Life is what happens!

There are some pieces of news that, once you hear it, impact your life, take you right out of your comfort zone, and leave things completely different from what they were the earlier day. 

You suddenly start to imagine and see that your life may undergo a complete change after a few months. You may not be in the same circumstances or position in an year's time. You may have to leave all that is part of your life today, the home you live in, the couch you sleep on, the car you drive, the gym you go to, the pool you swim in, those familiar roads you walk by, those restaurants you always eat at, those people you meet everyday. You are uprooted from so many of these connections you have developed and enjoyed for a while now. 

There are so many plans that remain to be undertaken, so many things you had procrastinated, saying you'll take up in right earnest from tomorrow, or next week, or when you have got past a few urgent tasks, but never got yourself to start. Now time seems to be running out, and you may never actually start many of those dream tasks. And then you wonder why you didn't start them for so long, earlier. 

So, ultimately, life is what happens when you're busy planning it.
