Letter to a friend...


I had a friend (he's still a friend but has now moved from England) who, after a few pints, would always ask me - "What is life?; What does happiness mean?"


I wrote him an eMail today - here's an adapted extract of the same...


Matey,

Thought of you yesterday...as I think I have an answer to your [eternal] question - "what is life?" - I hit upon the answer by chance so here it is:

"Happiness is lying in grass [I was in Greenwich] on a sunny day with iPod playing Led Zeppelin in your ears".

Those 20 minutes I got on my own were peace and tranquility that one does not get when one tries hard to meditate in solitude. And I got it amidst a crowd of 5000 souls.

Life is nothing but a series of happy moments - spent with yourself [and your loved ones].
Everything else is a distraction towards capitalism. Those billboards will keep telling you to buy a bigger car always - they are meant to - isn't it?...
