illusion of life & death Is like this that suppose u r asked to count the total leaves of a plant & u count it meticulusly. After one day u r again given the same task & u found that either it has lessened or it became more in number.So this is "Maya" or illusion of death & life.
Is this explanation allright?

You are not correct. Life and death in not maya (illusion). The duration between life and death is full of illusions (maya). Life and death are both certainty and physical in nature. One take a birth which is a reality similarly one die again a real event. It is not maya.
Two persons are talking to each other both known to you . One is a close friend but other is not. You assume that one is provoking the other, the Friend is thinking seeing you that you may object to the meeting Another one is thinking that you are stupid and how come the person be Friend others. Whereas both of them are actually talking about purchasing a property. This is maya. This maya force you to act in a particular fashion to counter and protect you from your perceived dangers which in reality do not exist. When a person is trapped in this circle he loose his aim in the life and spoil the beautiful gift of life.

As per Vedic theory MAYA is an energy of Lord Krishna whose supremacy is yet in Vedas. A person may be very spritual and so he is controlled by Supreme i.e. he will do work in accordance to the pleasure of Lord but suppose he is materialistic he will be controlled by MAYA.
MAYA is not linked with life and death but life death and reincarnation goes.

Pretend you could see a1000yrs go by in a hour. Things would appear & disappear be cause there not real. If they were real they would not change,right? This is maya. Maya also means play

no everone will understand that the number change becauce the plant lives, thus there is no illusion here.
The illusion of life and death is that you cant see the difference of both
