My Life, A Cocktail

One idly vada, one ghee masala dosa, one chai and one rainbow, for here, please! That was our order this morning for breakfast. Sitting by the window, in this little hole in the wall type restaurant named quite aptly as the “Madurai Idli Kadai”, I tore apart pieces of the dosa smothered in ghee, dipped it into fresh coconut chutney and relished, with a sip of chai, the pouring rain and the beautiful rainbow outside. It is my kinda bliss. These are the kind of moments when I am sans any worries, sans any stress. While the rainbow played peek-a-boo with the clouds, I couldn’t help but think about the transient nature of life. Happiness was right here, right now, I wanted to bottle it up and keep drinking it, never wanting it to end. Until it finally did, just  like my hot piping chai. It is in the want of such moments, that we all live our lives. Everything else is insignificant.
