What is Life? - Tulip Glossop

A few days back I read Vatsala's blog on rediff home page in which she had mentioned about how she had dug up this old slam book of hers in which were view points of her batch mates concerning life.It made for interesting reading.

I think many of  us have questions about this Life thats been given to us.And at some point in time or the other of ours lives we all end up asking -What is this Life?

Some years back,while in the process of searching for some answers ,I had written this short poem :-
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Life?

What is Life?

Its beautiful 'n ugly,
Its happiness 'n melancholy,

Both simple n complicated,
You love it 'n you hate it,

Tastes bitter 'n sweet,
A cheat 'n a treat,

Sometimes cruel 'n sometimes kind,
This amalgamation of heart 'n mind,

Is clear 'n confusing,
Is earnest 'n teasing,

Can be sunny or cloudy,
Can be demure or rowdy,

Brings highs 'n lows,
Brings friends 'n foes,

Unpredictable but eternal
Tyrannical yet paternal,

Lifes an irony...
Lifes a puzzle...
Life is perhaps,undefinable ...
