The Best Things in Life

...From way back whilst in college & when i was new to Bangalore...

The Best Things in Life…Are free

Life with its myriad colours, unpredictable elements, a kaleidoscope of images, when the substance often intertwines with its shadow. The voice of experience tells me never to take things for granted. Your driving ambition, your strife to make it big takes you places but somewhere down the line, you realize money is not everything. After all, fortune can change hands someday. At this point of my life, I’ve come to accept there are far many things worth loving other than money.
The spectacular culmination of he sun and the sea at sunset, the sensuous pleasure of reveling in the first caress of dawn, the radiant blush of a newly-wed bride, the reluctant smile of an angry child, the abstractness of images that clouds combine to form, the revitalized nostalgia during a school reunion, the tranquility of silence, the sheer abandon of a puppy playing with its kin….some nature’s bequests, some an extension of one’s persona, all present when one finds the time to sit back and enjoy all what is within one’s sensitivity, all the best things in life which …are free!
