So much beauty...

There is so much beauty all around... that its hard to assimilate all in one lifetime! But then what should one do... give it all up and live a life devoid of aesthetics... devoid of visual orgasm... devoid of women, rock & roll, sparkling wine and Davidoff...? Its a choice my friend... to be or not to be, that is the question!!! A thought process that one famed writer penned down light-years ago (it seems like that, doesn't it... oh! lord, are we moving fast!) is still an enigma in the mind of most of us ordinary mortals. But where is the stumbling block... where is the need to hoard... where is the necessity to accumulate... is it a desire that's born within ourselves, uncontrolled, unhampered, unhindered by logic, reason? Or is it a desire to push ourselves to the edge of satisfaction, where there is no further need for anything/anyone/anymore? Am i rambling my friend... No, coz if u look carefully then the beauty in this world is hampered by this very desire to live life king-size. What happened to the silent walks on the beach during a glorious orange sunset? What happened to the cheap road-side breakfast during the chilly winter mornings of yesterday? What happened to the hours/days/weeks spent lazily watching the myriad crowd go in/out of VT Station in search of the holy grail?
