eat, drink and be merry

Today was watching a program in television in which was shown a tea-shop owner . Flooded by food related programs i thought it was about  the "one metre tea " the famous roadside tea served in teashops  . But it was something  more inspiring  .  Apparently  our tea shop owner has the habit of working 300 days and rest 2 months with his savings he goes on tour . He has already visited Singapore, Egypt, Dubai , Jordan , China and plans to go London-Paris this year  .  

In the world famous  Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyats works it is written    'eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.  '  Eventhough we will probably live tomorrow how many of us follow this principle . I am not endorsing that we should enjoy today with no care about tomorrow . But the point is watching around us we find many people who keep hoarding money  so much  that they have  no money for eating , drinking (not alcohol :)) or being merry .  I personally know many people who have millions in the form of assets but create an artificial shortage of day to day money  and eat and live like a pauper  .  Without going overboard in spending it is quite possible to spend decent money and have a great quality of life while living this short lifespan  . These days even travelling international will not cost too much if you plan early and spend wisely  . 

                                                                              So , to add to Rubaiyat .. Let us Eat , drink (non-alcoholic drinks ) and be merry and travel  or do whatever is interesting  for tomorrow we may die . 

Bon Voyage
