B 2-1
Life is a mixture of the
sublime and the ludicrous, one without the other makes life not only unnatural
and artificial but also impossible like a coin, with either the obverse or the
reverse only.
B2-2
Good things happen to us when
we deserve them and not when we desire them. However, to deserve them on a long
term basis , we must continually desire, not them but the inherent and
intrinsic goodness in them.
B2-3
A good conversation is an
exercise in courtesy and an encounter in ease and camaraderie and companionship
in an air of informality in which each is ever (at the) ready to exchange with
the others in the group bons mots instead of bullets, praises instead of
projectiles, gratitude instead of gunfire, endearments instead of hand grenades
, morts justes instead of mortars and bonhomie instead of bombardment by way of
his contribution to the spontaneous unfoldment of topics drifting into the flow
of conversation—topics ranging from the most profound to the most frivolous and
profane, but always lively vibrant and vivifying.
In the unlikely event of a dull moment of
listless banality and /or vapid incipience threatening to punctuate the joyful
tenor of the conversation or a serious issue of a contentious nature demanding
to take centre stage or someone trying to hold the stage out of sheer
indiscretion, sparkling wit and humor, spontaneously intervene to brighten the
moment and lighten the atmosphere thereby elevating the mood of the whole group
to its normal level. What make the otherwise uneventful and humdrum routine of
life at once exciting and exhilarating are such friendly encounters and
intellectual exchanges and the sweet lingering memories of those magical
moments as also the eager anticipation of many an equally elevating as well as
delightful session of communion and fellowship.
After all, they are the spice of life.
