THE LATE KHUSHWANT SINGH’S VIEW ON LIFE

For all its imperfections life is a great gift and I have tried to get as much out of it as I could. I have feasted my eyes and senses on all that is beautiful in the world. Its mountains, lakes, sea shore and desert. The break of the monsoon, the smell of the wet earth, good food from all parts of the world, vintage wines and the finest Scotch whiskey, listened to classical music, shabad gurbani. The fragrance of flowers and herbs and the shade of mighty trees. Bird song at the break of dawn, classic literature and beautiful spirited women. I will sum up my faith in a time worn cliché; a good life is the only religion.
