gracious living

Something that yasaswini had said in a mail has set me thinking. Gracious living...
It conjures up leisurely lifestyle, of sitting with a cup of coffee and gazing at the skyline, giving undivided attention to the aroma and flavour and the pleasure that a cup of coffee can give;looking at the swaying leaves of the neem tree and the dangling chandeliers of their fruit bunches;reclining in the most comfortable chair on the porch and listen to the shrill of the kingfisher; breathe in the fresh morning air which has a wetness and freshness after a overnight drizzle;and all this not for a fleeting second, before your mind gets boxed in with numerous thoughts jostling for attention;but for a looong full minute and then several minutes; losing count of time as it were and indulge in that time and let time stop till you tire of the goodness.
When was it last time that i could dissolve myself like this. Not for a long time that i can remember.
Multi tasking, balancing work and home, perennially questing for achieving, hungry for learning more and constantly observing and conceptualising human behaviour,fascinated with the changing face of business and business process everyday; while all this has kept me very busy and excited(a constant to do list in my bag), I am now getting a sudden fascination for 'gracious living'.
Being a true libran, it is also my calling i guess. I like to surround myself with beautiful things(who does'nt you may ask),and lead a lazy lifestyle, hav ing a bevy of old trusted faithful servants taking care of every need , taking a cruise as you might fancy to some exotic locale(please, please do the paper work and all arrangements for me), having a large circle of friends who drop by and chat up animatedly on everything under the sun; taking care to dress well (i was telling prashant, i want to buy a lipstick, never used one after my wedding reception!)I have never tried nail polish either; the woman in the stall in the supermarket tried
to interest me in their latest colours and texture; i was amused as i never know what to look for in a nail polish; i am not a discerning customer there!I want to buy one the next time, but not before, reading up on some literature in some lifestyle magazine and chatting up with friends on the latest trends.
No dont get me wrong, i wont be the lazy socialite; i want to read and enjoy tamil poetry which i last enjoyed during school days; kamba ramayanam and peria puranam; and good prose too in tamil; and all hindi prose and poetry which we could not enjoy as we had to master the language before we enjoyed the literature.Want to learn and listen to music of all kinds and genres; i am not able to understand many terminologies that i read in metro plus about latest music trends and i dont like that.
Wait, wait am i again getting into doing too many things and aspiring to learn too many things?
