IN THE END, WE LOST- Not a Love Story



Not a Love Story

This isn’t a love story where two people couldn’t make it, or where betrayal tore them apart.

This is the tragic tale of countless innocent people — people who could have lived happily, people who could have spent more time with their loved ones. But corruption, greed, and the hunger for money dragged them to a place they can never return.



What many don’t realize is that it’s never just one life lost — it’s entire families that suffer. Their worlds are shattered in ways that can never be fully restored.

I pray for peace and comfort for everyone who lost the battle.
My deepest condolences to the parents who lost children, the children who lost parents, the friends who lost friends, and to everyone who lost someone irreplaceable. I may not understand exactly what you’re going through, but I can only say: stay strong, be brave, and hold on — this time will pass.

But what pains me most is this: so many of these people could have survived, could have laughed and lived again.

What went wrong?

I keep asking myself this question: Was it the government’s fault? Or was it ours? The only answer I find is this: those who had the power to save lives became greedy. They put themselves above those who were suffering.

Yes, even they have families — but does that give them the right to destroy someone else’s? Is money really so important that you would let another human being die?

As a child, I never imagined that people would hesitate so little to exploit or even let others perish for personal gain. But during the COVID crisis, hearing real stories broke me.

  • An ambulance charges ₹10,000 to travel just 2 km.

  • A machine worth ₹40,000 is being sold for ₹2,00,000.

  • Families are being asked to pay ₹50,000 just for cremation.

At first, it sounds unreal. But this was the harsh truth.

People did not hesitate to exploit. They did not care. It became about me and only me.

And I wonder — is this what our society is turning into? Is this the “new way of living”?

It hurts to even ask: after all this, can we still proudly say “I am proud to be an Indian”?

“It’s not what you are that’s holding you back, it’s what you think you’re not.”

It’s a quote that stops you in your tracks, isn’t it? On the surface, it seems simple. But when you start thinking about it, it hits hard — because we all have those moments when we’ve held ourselves back. Not because we couldn’t do something… but because we thought we couldn’t . As humans, we live our lives making assumptions. Some are harmless, others… are far more limiting and restricting; they build invisible walls around us. Slowly, silently, these walls grow higher and higher, shaping how we see ourselves and affecting the choices we make. Think about it. How many times have you avoided trying something new because you convinced yourself,  “I’m not cut out for this” “What if I fail and everyone notices?” “People like me don’t usually do things like this.” “I’ll embarrass myself if I try.” “It’s too late for me to start now.” Or because you thought failure was proof that you shouldn’t even try? Those assumptions might seem small, but they quietly decide your limits before you...

“Don’t stare up the steps, step up the stairs.”

“Don’t stare up the steps, step up the stairs.” Most people read this and think: Don’t waste time just looking at the problem. Don’t hesitate — act, move, climb. And yes, that’s true to an extent. But when I hear this quote, I feel it’s not just about “avoiding the stare.” It’s also about what that stare can mean. To me, staring isn’t always a sign of wasting time. Sometimes it’s a moment of reflection. It’s strategy. It’s the analysis you do before making a choice. It's the courage you gather before you take a big step — whether small or life-changing. And the steps themselves symbolize experience. Each step forward, whether it comes with a win or a setback, teaches us something and prepares us for the next. “When a lion takes two steps back, it doesn’t mean he is scared. It means he’s preparing for a bigger and deadlier jump.” In the same way, if you see someone pausing or staring, it doesn’t always mean they’re idle. It might also not mean that they are afraid, They might be gat...
