I grew up in a village

without the complexities

and luxuries of town life.

 

I lived like a hermit

yet dreamt big.

 

My lifestyle is sketched with

future of happiness.

 

The phrase ‘forgive and

forget’ is uttered by many

when it comes to doing deed,

we shy away from it.

 

I start my meal with salad

like cucumber and carrots.

 

I take plenty of drinks like

milk, lemonade, and fruit juice.

 

I take one bowl of papaya

or a fresh fruit in the morning.

 

I take three rotis or a bowl

of rice with vegetable,

salad, and yogurt in lunch.

 

I always avoid purees, samosas,

fried food, and hot chips.

 

I take two rotis, vegetable soap,

a cup of toned milk and complete

my dinner before 9 pm.

 

After all these years, I still need

 a source of information in

other words and guidance.

 

As time passed, I realized that

nothing is permanent in life.

 

So, live the moment and enjoy

every moment of life with gratitude
