Today the Day of Blood Moon- Lunar Eclipse i.e. April 04, 2015
Melody of heavy rains just woke me up from my rosy dreams in the wee hours. I stood up & started enjoying the flow of rains.Suddenly the flow became intense, which just hit my mind clock that oh it's the morning of 4th April, date of Lunar Eclipse about which last year around April I read views of pastors Blitz and Hagee about World will end on April 04, 2015 because the eclipses in the tetrad coincide with important Jewish festivals.
The eclipses in April 2014 and April 2015 occur at the same time as Passover, while the October 2014 and September 2105 eclipses occur during the Feast Of Tabernacles. Some people took this coincidence as a sign of the end times.
Positive mind vibes reminded me that today is also the Auspicious day of Hanuman Jayanti (Birth day of Lord Hanuman). I became confident that al least today is not the last day of World, as Lord Rama would never think of doing such disaster on the birth day of his favorite devotee Hanuman.

I was born on July 01, 1960 & married on February 18, 1984. I was born & brought up in India, which was ruled by Britishers for more than three centuries. Due to which people of our great Country started following English calendar and I was not an exception to that.
Indians still believe in moral values and astronomy etc. I repeat , I am not an exception to it.Some times in the start of 2006, I was aquatinted by a fraudster, came to know about his fraudulent nature in 2009. So as per Hindu astrology the Bad Omen entered in to my life.
Being Punjabi we are also fond of celebrating silver jubilee(25 years) of Marriage anniversary & Golden Jubilee(50 Years) of birth following English Calendar. Both by chance happened in the years 2009 & 2010, so could not be celebrated properly due to problematic time.
April 2014
When I read that World may end on April 04, 2015, out of curiosity I calculated that how much old I would be on this day of 04.04.2015. Which came out to be exactly 20000 days. I became excited and being a positive person from heart, starting visualizing that on this day of Solar Eclipse I would celebrate my 20000th birth day along with whole world being, joyous of deleting the myth of end of the world.
As truth always wins in the end, I came out of problematic times created by the fraudster for his ulterior motives. I started planning for celebrating my birth day of 20k. To celebrate same, Last week we finalized 3 nights outing to Simla a hill station with very close friend(more an elder brother). Being the long week holidays we could get reservation at very higher rates.
April 2015
On 1st April while doing yoga, it came in to my mind that I should celebrate this great day with family & friends in stead of enjoying at Simla.The weather also supported me & became very pretty from 2nd April.
But now to change the mind of My Pretty wife was a big task, as she made a big plans for this short vacation, which she was getting after a long break. I took the help of two shots of Single Malt to sort this out.
Mistaking myself to be over smart compared to my better half during pillow talks on 2nd night: I started the conversation:
Weather in Gurgaon is such wonderful & report is predicting same for next few days.
Before completing my dialogue, Pretty Better Half said:
Are you planning to cancel Simla Trip.
Getting caught midway I replied:
No No just thinking, if we....
In Between, Pretty said:
How can you change like this now Bhai Sahib & Bhabhi ji(Friend & His Wife) had already planned...
Me:
I will ask Bhai Sahib first but just a thought why to Burn Extra Money in this heavy season
She was listening now patiently, it convinced me to Hit the target fast (Thanks Single Malt)
We can save lot of money in this unnecessary celebrations.
She agreed & I felt like winning first world war.
On 3rd April morning feeling victorious, I hit second target:
Now as we are in Gurgaon, why not to call some family & friends for celebration of completing 20k days
Pretty:
Are you crazy, we have changed plans to save money & now you wish again for unnecessary expenditure
Me
See it would be different I am going to celebrate 20000 days, as other just celebrate silver jubilee, golden jubilee
Me
We will call only family & close friends
Pretty
I know number of your close friends it would cross minimum 250 so total guests not less than 600
Me
No no we can squeeze it 25 Families
Pretty
I promise if you can list of even 30, i would not demand any dresses for myself from you in whole of 2015.
I devoted three hours making list for but could not cut the list not even close to 50, because all friends are close to my heart
But men are men, I did not wish to surrender. So this time took help of Grey Goose.
Me
Ok Doll, List is final but being at such short notice no nice venue is available, so let us change it.
Pretty
Venue is not an issue we can make it at home, if the list is short.
Myself feeling caught,
It would be really messy
Pretty
See I just read tomorrow is Lunar Eclipse, it is not advisable at eclipse time to have party.
You are right let us postpone it.
All Your Family & Friends love you too much
For them any day togethar is a day of celebrations
For you and all of them company is important not 20000 days
Me
Janu You know the date coincides with Hanuman Jayanti too(Hanuman ji is mostly prayed by Singles) It does not look nice that I should celebrate mine birth day of 20K days
Reply came instantly from Pretty:
You are right we would celebrate our union/anniversary on the day of Krishan Jayanti (Birth day of Lord Krishna known to be GOD of Love)
Ultimately I can't say, who won but for a successful marriage the prime principal is 'Wife is Always Right'.
Back to Today i.e. April 04,2015
While enjoying the rains, I started wondering that GOD has been so kind to me. In case of even ending the world on the day of Blood Moon i.e.today, I would have been lucky enough to complete 20,000 days with such magnificent parents, brothers, sister, bhabhis (Sisters in law), nephews, niece, wife, son, daughter, son in law, friends and grand daughter.
Now as the world has not ended so GOD has given me another opportunity to live happily & spread happiness among family, friends & society.
My take is that mine age group friends would be feeling blessed to have another 20- 25 years of healthy life. Living lengthy life may become a burden on family but living healthy life is a boom for all.
As usual I thanked & prayed to GOD
Give me a Healthy Life
Let me die young by physique & Heart (age no bar)
Practically I may be having another 8000 days to see this world.
In factual description now I have currency of 8000 days, which will be depleted daily by one unit.
So let me enjoy it by thanking Almighty & fulfilling mine assigned duties (Karma) by GOD to me, as well.

A husband asks his wife:
If I die, will you remarry?
Wife Replies:
Of course no, darling, I will stay with my sister.
And if I die, will you remarry?
Husband Replies:
No No , Darling How can I do that
I will also stay with your sister.
P.S. I have Published this story after completion of Today's Lunar Eclipse and seeing myself with my own eyes, that the World is alive.
