ultimate cocktail

Ultimate cocktail
Have you ever wondered what life is ? Or have you ever asked what does it mean to you ? I guess we all have asked ourselves this questions a zillion of times at some point or the other and have always had the ability to come out with different answers everytime. While for many of us life is an adventure, a book, a song, or a never ending journey. For many of us like Tom Hank quotes in Forest Gump, “Life is a box of chocolates.”

Like most of us I have also asked myself this question in those free moment of my life and the answer that I have got recently is : Life is an ultimate cocktail! Hmmm … I think I have many eye-brows raised out there on this thought , but if you sit back and think you would definitely agree with me on this viewpoint.

While for some of us life might be an aromatic cocktail like a Manhattan or a Martini that is usually a mix of some vermouth, a spirit and bitters, that is if you see some emotions, some high spirits for those emotions and a few hurdles here and there.
For many life may be have been slightly sour like the Margarita or the Sidecar.
Life is never the same for any one of us and its' taste changes constantly.
In fact life tastes better with experience and maturity , just as an old wine would do.

I strongly believe that are lifes are principally like Pousse-Cafes, layered with different emotions and phases that we come across as we grow. Just like those Pousse we often have our densest emotions or feeling rooted deep in our hearts while the lighter ones float above gently.


While spirits give us a temporary high and a happy feeling that lasts for a certain period , a person who knows how to blend and have the perfect cocktail of life , always remains high on life!

So just reach out for your spirits and start making your perfect cocktail, remember the recipe for a perfect cocktail is always with you ...... you just need to discover it.
And don’t forget to have a few tequila shots for those extra –kicks in life . So just pick your drink and get started on living life in those right ‘spirits’
