The Expensive Taste


Hmmmm. Being a creative person since birth and also pertaining to the literary intelligentsia, makes me very choosy when it comes to taking decisions for myself. About what I eat, drink, wear, talk, feel and with whom I spend time with. A hug, a smile, the tiniest gesture, a word of appreciation, acknowledgment, gratitude, love, care, concern, trust, commitment is really what I yearn for. I believe in enjoying the small things in life. The rain, the sun and its warmth, the chilly weather, the sky, the clouds, the patterns made by clouds, shadows, reflections, mirror images, the symmetry in nature, the sunrise and the sunset, the texture of the grass, the sand, the waves, food, the wind on my face when i'm travelling by an auto, the trees, the shapes of the leaves, the birds, the flowers, the colours, the solitary electric pole, all the stupid- little-things around!! I make it a point to take out time and STOP for a moment to feel the things around me. Don’t be shocked if you find me admiring some inanimate object somewhere, I do it pretty often. ;-)

You know why I call this taste of mine EXPENSIVE?

That’s because, well, ask yourself, how many of you do it? 

Stop running. Take a break. Pause. Look around. Everything is so beautiful. Life is short, when are you gonna enjoy?   

Hard to believe that right? :-)

This is the kinda happiness that money can't buy, that’s why I call it The Expensive Taste. :-D

So stop being cheap! Have an expensive taste! ;-)

[And phuleezzeee!! I’m not a person on a champagne diet, with a beer budget! Sarcasm, intended ;-P]

Cheers!(to life)

  4. Firstly, texture of the grass, the sand, waves, and trees? We are not living in a meadow dear :P

    Hehe. Jokes apart! Yes, I do agree more with this post, coz "how many of you do it?".. I do it all the time :P So much that I ignore this world to dwell in that alternate reality Ask DR if you want! :P :D

    As always, I like the well put thoughts. And I like them more when they echo qualities that intersect my nature ;D Naaishhhh DM :)

  8. The smallest things in life surprisingly give us much more happiness than the materialistic things in life. I do agree that it is an expensive taste for us people living in this time of humongous demands.
