Luxury reviewed and re-defined.

In the 1960s a car was a luxury..
In the '70s a television was a luxury..
In the '80s a telephone was a luxury..
In the '90s a computer was a luxury..

But today spending time in 
absence of all these is a luxury..

Luxury is no more going on a 
cruise trip or eating food
prepared by a renowned chef..
Luxury is eating fresh organic
food grown in your own 
backyard..

Luxury is not having an elevator
in your house.
Luxury is the ability to climb 3-4
storeys of stairs without
difficulty..

Luxury is not the ability to afford
a huge refrigerator.
Luxury is the ability to eat freshly
cooked food 2-3 times a day...

Luxury is not having a home
theatre system and watching the
Himalayan expedition.
Luxury is physically experiencing 
the Himalayan expedition..

Luxury is not getting treatment
from the most expensive hospital
So what is a Luxury now..??

Being healthy.,
Being happy.,
Having a loving family.,
being with loving friends.,
living in an unpolluted place.,
Luxury is inhaling fresh air.,
Luxury is getting pure water.,
Luxury is to get sunshine.,
and above all heartful of
laughter.

Have a Luxurious Life filled with
Happy moments.


Tailpiece.

Got up at my usual time, watched Ammu go through the paces of the 'bali tharpanam' and crows continuing to play truant today, too.

Letha and sa'arthi, Kannan pick up Lekha and go visiting their cousin, Priya's house at Nangiarkulangara. They returned by teatime.

High tea with a lovely dish of tapioca made by the Mini and Rema.

Met Jailal, an ex-BSF constable, who narrated his terrorist encounter experience with a bullet shrapnel piercing through his right elbow and a grenade exploding just above his head almost simultaneously! The poor guy is now grappling with a varicose vein surgery, concluded just a month back.
