Life is like that

... was driving my bike from somewhere to nowhere, frankly, was trying to keep my head empty, a deliberate attempt to forget everything and simply enjoy the breeze gushing against my nostrils, while I was racing past trucks... here was this one, freshly painted in green.. with all the paraphernalia that a truck might have.. I must admit the owner had a taste (here, I would also like to admit my liking for these mechanical beasts - the bigger the better)... I slowed down to read the punchline that he might have written at the back of it... and there it was 'कभी सर्दी तो कभी गर्मी ये तो दुनिया के नज़ारे हैं, प्यास तो उन्हें भी लगती है जो दरिया के किनारे हैं.' ... and in that instant I slowed down to feel the beauty of the hills around me... life is fun.
