Sometimes I wonder... how to define a few terms...like 'love'...'happiness'...
how to define a 'color'..... Bottle Green.....Virgin White...
to define an ice-cube finding its way down your back
or how to define a 'heavy heart'....
Can we put everything within the constraints of 26 letters ?
What about the word 'ma'?
There are things in life that escape 'definition'.
Life itself, for instance...
How do we define bitter... tangy... sour...
How to define a mistake... wrong... right...
Ever wonder how it changes with every experience??
For that matter, how do we define 'experience'?
Is a 'kiss' the mere brush of lips?
How long should it last? And how long does it actually last??
Is a 'smile' the mere upturn of the corners of the lips?
Does a sunset actually end when the sun sets?
Does 'pregnancy' last only for 9 months?
How long should our birthdays be?
How much would you pay to adopt a child if you can’t have one of your own?
How much would you pay to be a child again?
How much would you pay to get back your native home which is still under dispute?
What about that '80s studio picture of dad, ma and you?
Do you have a clear conscience?
How much would you pay to have one?
...and how much would you sell ‘that’ conscience for?
Does a 3day 2night vacation last for only 3days and 2nights?
Does a 'kodak moment' last for only 1/500th of a second?
Is 'Love Story' only a 2-hour story book?
How much time is too much time?
Sometimes, a half-hour bubble-bath can seem like an entire evening...
a 3-hour happy dream like a whole year....
a warm hug like a lifetime...
The first morning cuppa tea...perfect bliss...
Does life's most precious moments come with bar-codes?
Or fluctuate on a daily basis??
It might be the red balloon for your child priced at Rs 10,
a wedding cake for your best friend priced at Rs 10,000,
Or a 2-carat solitaire ring priced at Rs 5,00,000...
but considering it's on your left ring-finger, how much would you sell it for ?

'there r things in life tht escape definition'. how beautifully true. its better not to define few things isnt it?these things add up to be the beauty marks of our life.describing them = marring their soul.

Wonderfully crafted list of questions; I'm thinking on the answers. Will let you know if ever I find any.

No there's no clear definition of anything in the world except one...that's life...it's an illusion that will end some day.
Keshi.

Very nice thoughts priyanka, i have really started thinking on all those how, why and does. Really, can we define everything in a 26 letter constrain?
Too good
KESHI: U r so right..."there's no clear definition of anything in the world except one...that's life...and it's an illusion that will end some day."
SHERRIFF:Thank u for the compliment, dude...
VAIBHAV: Yes, sometimes we just can't reason or define as to why, how or when? We just have to let them be...

Beautiful work.
