Live Your Life The Way YOU want!!!!
The wonders of the everyday life have never failed to impress me: the joy of feeling the wind on your face on a lazy saturday morning, riding a local bus with the localites and going to a place where the bus takes you, the cows grazing( not exactly...as there is no grass on the road!!:)) on the cobbled roads, the city waking up to the soft sounds of the temple bells, the sweet fragrance of the freshly plucked jasmine flowers along the way, the natural beauty of the mother roses with their petals wide open welcoming the sunlight with a naughty smile, the wide yellow beaming faces of the sunflowers nodding their heads in rhythm with the sunny winds, the fields lined with endless rows of gold, red, orange, yellow and the hues of all possible colors possible, and finally the pleasure that I found on the faces of the roadside beggar children, they had nothing, not even a decent piece of clothing, their only treasure was a piece of rag clothing, still their faces didnt have a trace of tear, not even a frown, not even sadness engraved, instead they were laughing as if they had the entire world at their feet, they crowded around the cars caught up in the traffic, laughing at the thrill of getting into the middle of a danger, prying onto the other's hands to see who has got the highest denomination( in their case: 1, 2 or max 5 rs.), sharing the coins, eyeing the kid inside the car( or should I say princess?: with leboutin boots, lilliput top and mini skirt, tiny chanel perfume, the newest x-box, double burst pizza on the car dashboard and a ferrero rocher choc in her hands), and running away to buy a lollipop each for themselves: this taught me a great lesson on how to value what I have when I have it, rather than complain about the unheard red carpet lives of the rich and the famous: yes yesterday was the biggest learning experience that I will treasure in the memory lane.....
