An Evening Well Savored and The Piquancy of Life.....


Well they say, events when unplanned and done straight from the heart are the ultimate source of happiness, and experiences of a forever kind....The "life-at-the-moment" often is a recourse from the humdrum routine of life, and a chalice-full for rejuvenating the soul. "Chalice-full" cause the experiences, whatever they may be, everyone fills with a drink equally invigorating and soul-drenching.


The "safe-keepers" of the contemporary societal necessities often have a word of criticism for acts of spontaneity. More often than not, those in the "ten on ten" upkeep with such necessities brings about a sense of vainglory. Of being a success in the safe-keepers eyes, devoid of all criticism. But where's the happiness when each act of one's is a conformatory to a guidebook. 


Be it going in for bungee jumping on  a bright Sunday morning, or taking to European music, making origami dolls and quill-ed flowers on an evening after work, "art-on-the roll" is a good way to bust stress, and stimulates the creative buds. Spontaneity was never about looking your best at a P3 party, or having the best collection of handbags and Swatch watches. Greed only leads to dissatisfaction, on achievement of the subject of interest and farther. True contentment comes not from material but from the imperceptible, maybe like learning a new cuisine, or a new sport never perfected in childhood. 


As a happy ending to every theatrical, quoting Aishwarya Rai (on her post-motherhood-weight-gain critic-cacophony)


"Whenever there is the wave of opinions, and I've always said this, it's the truth--I'm sure you will endorse it since you know the facts as well--the haters are a drop in the ocean," 


If all the world's men and women adopted "the significantly insignificant" paradigm, the world would be a much happier place to live in.....

A Coffee-ful Life.....

I sit by the beach cafe, the rollercoaster
Of aqua blue waves, and the cream froth
On my cuppa of life
That pulling out sand and building sand castles
And a table top, and a girl and guy on a coffee date

Sans the restra plushness, reverting to the ocean's green
In the sand vision, two friends part
Over a cup of mochachino,
No adieu tears but only coffee bites
And memorial goodies

Hot cappucino, and a fun beach ride
There's more to coffee than the visual delight
Spilling its cold version
On to each other, a la celebratory scotch
N wine

And finally in soltitude, I sit back
And see the coffee fortune
That speaks of the magical beans
That predict and bring
A harvest of happiness
