Life is beautiful.....
When you can dig into mocha pastry and wash it down with some hot mocha coffee. And then feel guilty about it!
When you can lie in a hammock and watch the swaying coconut trees and the blue sky. And read Mills & Boon kinda novels!
When you can walk on the dew-wet grass in the chill of the early morning. And see the rising sun!
When you can sit in an air conditioned room and watch the beautiful, colorful blooms of semal, gulmohur and jhakrandha trees. And stay away from the heat!
When you can swing higher and higher and relive your childhood. And worry what if the swing breaks!!
When you can jump into the sea and feel the power of waves, lifting you up. And face the sun and laugh!
When you can lose yourself to the music and dance with gay abandon. And the next day, you hurt all over!
When you know you have a friend you can always lean on. And she can lean on you too!
When you know there is someone who will wait for you to come back home. And a hug will say it all!
When you receive the worst ever weed bouquet made by little hands. And you can kiss those little hands!
When you know that someone up there loves you enough to bless you. And you bow down and pray!
When life tells you to dream again. And the universe conspires to make your dreams come true........
Life is beautiful!

LOL!!! Yes, you are shamelessly materialistic....couldn't you say something like - achievg world peace in my neighbourhood or seeing the joy in a little puppy's eyes etc.!! Hahaha....
But u know, you are an honest, shameless materialist.....and behind all that materialism, there is an ability to enjoy simple joys that life is made up of!
Thanks for visiting

Hi Madhuri
Yeah......life is so enriched with these special and not so special things! Yeah....life is beautiful!!
Hahaha......I have read The Alchemist.....though I have believed in omens and universe conspiring to make dreams come true for a much longer time. I always believe that there is a natural flow to things around us....and there is a reason why things happen to us. Our part is to understand why it happened.....learn and move on.
Too much gyaan......got carried away.....I know you got it!
Thanks for coming.....your comments are a pleasure

and then of course there is that first kiss but I wont go further
Here are some more reasons why 'life is beautiful'
There are a few worldly ones (you know me the worldly materialistic man)
1) Going to the results sheet and seeing that you passed your exams
2) Getting a letter of acceptance from that company for that terrific job for which you went to the interview or that univ you thought you would never get into
3)Seeing that new car or bike in your garage
4)Watching a movie with a great soundtrack on that new TV with surround sound for the first time
5)You have just bought brand new books you always wanted. There is a long traffic jam and finally you reach home and start to read. Pure pleasure
6) Coming back from a vacation and finding out that the stock you bought just last month spending every rupee you got has doubled
7) This girl you have lusted after for such a long time but u never had the guts to ask her out. Finally you gather up the courage and ask her out and she looks at you surprised and says 'Yes' when you ask her out
Santosh
shameless materialist

Hey Kasang,
Yeah life is beautiful no matter what.
When you stand in the beach and the waves come forward to wet your feet and try to grab you with them when going back
When you ride on a crazy roller coaster - the wierd feeling you get during the down fall.
When you fail at several attempts and finally get the best of the lot making all the failures worth while.
When your lil kid explains the meaning of life in the simplest of terms when you are totally lost.
ok ok now I am getting carried away :-)
Good post. Btw, the last line : the universe conspires to make your dreams come true - did you read The Alchemist?
Cheers,
Madhuri
