There are few moments in life when you have enough time to sit down and ponder on what is the meaning of life. What is your ultimate goal in life or how do you enjoy it? Living a cosmopolitan life where you begin your day with corn flakes and milk followed by rushing towards bus stop or tube station and then dipping down your head into laptop or files, you hardly have a chance to think. This is what happens to us, the urban people. We are always in a motion. It may seem as the post modernists say: everything is in flux; but in reality nothing changes. When you are in diapers, you're in the queue of getting into a good school. Your youth is spent to create a niche in the society with good job, status and so on. After achieving all those you cannot heave a sigh of relief because again you are in the same rat race where your offspring are performing. So how do we have the time to look at the morning sky and enjoy the azure rather than being anxious whether it will rain or not? Can we just sit idle in the winter sun and savour the warmth without calculating the cost of beach holiday? When was the last time you touched a dew drop with your toes? Just take a look back to yourself.
