It had these few lines...
Life is beautiful, don't you agree?
Will I say this again, even after seeing Somalia, Lebanon, Hiroshima, Gujarat and Bombay? Or after seeing poverty, exploitation, failures, frustrations, bitter relationships and needless hatred?
I think, there is no other choice. I will say it again.
Life is beautiful, don't you agree?
Even as I clicked 'Send' button, I remembered my previous post in this blog, cribbing about life. Which one of these is true? To be frank, I was honest, in both the occasions. Isn't this beautiful? that one can be honest and come up with two opposite ideas about one thing?
Ok! I agree, this is too much. When I wrote that mail, I thought that this pain, struggle itself is beautiful. That's a state of mind, probably.
Still I stand by it?
Will I say 'Life is beautiful', standing in that small village 'Thiruvarangam' (not Sreerangam, this is different), near that old Perumal temple, on the banks of the river that has no water now, looking at the vast area of dry sand, that spreads across and tells you how big the river had been, once upon a time?
Come on, be frank. You are traveling in a train. Just one moment. Your co-passengers have fallen dead or are dying, you see blood and burnt flesh everywhere. Will you say 'Life is beautiful'?
Why? you are going home from office at 7 PM and are caught in a nasty traffic jam and a severe head-ache. Will you dare say 'Life is beautiful'?
No, I don't think I will.
But, give me one moment to reflect upon. Give me some time. I might say 'Life is beautiful'. Probably, this is what makes it beautiful.

This is the best post ever.
Wait. This is the best post till date. Hope you surpass yourself each and every time you make a post.
Every heartbeat itself silently says that "Life is beautiful". Still it is true that in some of the situation mentioned we may not be able to hear that.
But, when we learn to say "Life is beautiful" always, life becomes more beautiful.

"life is beautiful" , but no one said 'my life is beautiful' :) life as such is beautiful and beauty lies in the eyes of beholder.
" sometimes life is beautiful" other times we dont see its beauty, afterall beauty also has its own beastiness. There is no rose without a thorn :) There is nothing that is 100% beautiful anything that is like 60% beautiful we consider it as beauty afterall beautiness is also realtive.
wow! looks like I can write for pages on beauty :)
Vimal,
Thanks! It will take some time for me to start writing here again. Sure, it's going to be much better when I come back.
Sands,
True! In other words, when we realize the beauty (rather than learning to 'say'), it becomes more beautiful. We get to appreciate it!
Thanks...
Vaik,
I say you now, 'MY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL' and it reflects in every drop of my tears too! :)
I agree with your thoughts. But, when it comes to beauty or love, why think!?
