Life is a Banquet - simple sayings by alfred
Last evening (some months back) a dear friend, philosopher and guide hosted Neelu and me to a 14 course meal at a very fancy restaurant. The food was exquisite, the ambience perfect, the conversation as always very invigorating. No complaints.
Here is what I learnt and just wrote a good morning message to my daughter Pooja who has an exam today and said, LIFE - Experience it
I felt full out of overeating despite having sparingly nibbled at each course.
Realized that didn't have to finish that bottle of good NewZealand dry white wine
Result - Had to have two gulps of the antacid - Digene last night
All in all - Experienced the evening
As always, what are the simple learnings in order to say I experienced the evening
Do I qualify to say at 66 - I have experienced LIFE
If given a chance what would I have done differently last evening and in my life - simple question asked so often to successful people.
You only live once - Experience it
Each of the course last evening was tasty, and presented well. A feast for the eye that got your taste buds going.
As always, the aroma, flavors and the sauce is what made that Broccoli, Chicken, Lamb, Crab and Prawns so tempting. Yes, LIFE was good last evening. I had the pleasure of all of above served in one sit down dinner
What could I have done differently last evening if I had a chance to do it all over again. Simple learning for LIFE
Because i liked the taste of the sauce and wanted to enjoy all the flavors that I was told by the Server, I should have not eaten the full portions. Knowing there is more to come .
LIFE always has things in store for you. You don't need a server/parent/mentor/friend to tell you that, if you are a grown up.
I should have spaced the good wine for the entire 14 course meal such that I would have a choice to finish the bottle at the end of the meal. LIFE - play to have reserves in you, till the end. You will need no supplements and Life Support of any form.
The accompaniments - Roti, Puris, Rice, Pasta, Homemade White Butter could have been eaten in moderation. LIFE - enjoy the pleasures, friends, parties, holidays, diversions in moderation
simple sayings to make your Sunday great - Live life with minimum need for Detoxification, Ant - everything, Retreats, etc.
I had the pleasure of participating in my daughter's party last night at our home, with a live celebrity singer - I EXPERIENCED being the Gracious Guest -
In Life roles keep changing.
GRACE is playing the perfect role - Host, Guest, Friend, Mentor, Parent, Student, Seeker
