Including her chandelier earrings, I find nothing to really say, is beautiful! Even the cigarette smoke swirling in the air is enjoyable as long as you don't see the other part, for every touch on the lungs it kills the smoker a bit. The lotus in hand is not as pleasing as it is when floating in the pond (you know, we had a pond next to our school with full of water plants like lotus).
Perhaps few of you could agree with me, if I rate Sachin's sixes, particularly those hit at the later part of the match against Australia in Sharjah 1998 as the most beautiful sixes than many hit by Sachin and many other batsmen. The opponent, the spectators, the commentary, the camera work and that thrilling match situation - I think absence of any of these would degrade the excellence of those sixes.
Though you hear people say some particular thing, such as sunrise, as beautiful on most occasions or always, I think beauty is momentary. It should be as it is not the thing and your eyes but the perfect union of every minute thing in this universe. Surely, your attachment to it is what brings the completion of this union and make a thing to be perceived beautiful. Perhaps, that is why you find something so beautiful on one day, though you happen to see it every day.
Have you ever noticed, the train track between Nungambakkam and Chetpet has got one of the beautiful curves? If you sit or stand inside the train, I don’t think you get any chance to feel it. Hanging almost outside of the train, letting your face enjoy the lashing, rather friendly, wind and looking at both ends of the train, train which moves on the arc path, is an awesome experience, especially if you get another train coming in the opposite direction on the other side.
[FYI: If you are caught between two closely moving trains, it is safer to sit and close your eyes than to stand and watch the train moving]
