WHAT'S INSIDE??

It occurred to me that in the process of living life, if we have ingested our life- then we have lots inside...

Amitesh once asked me- "what's at the bottom of your heart?" The answer I gave him without much thought was..." lot of love"...clichéd it is!! Haina..?

Coming back to what is inside us?.

...So in this way there is a lot inside, that will not pass away or be lost. Love, people, places too and certain memories, certain moments. It becomes a kind of wealth and we realize that this is eternal...

The eternal is available when we step outside time and space- All that binds us to one another and to the world.

So that means what connects two people or more is actually what is inside them...regardless of time and space…

Did everyone else know this already??…and only I figured this out now!
