Dear Diary:

Tonight I am going to share with you a sad experience. I attended the funeral of a distant relative. It was my first such experience  and my heart is filled with sorrow, dismay and the transitory nature of human life.

First time I saw the funeral service at a crematorium. The family members of the deceased were wailing. There were hundreds of people in the funeral procession. Many religious ceremonies were performed.

Finally the body was put on the pyre. I was in deep dejection to see he body burning in flames. One day, all of us will face the same end.

Goodnight dear diary.
