Life is all about feelings;

Some shown, expressed by words & actions, or sometimes merely through eyes . And some unspoken and unsaid; preserved, secured deep down in the bottom of your heart.

Life is all about memories;

Bittersweet memories. Some full of joy, zeal; and some completely opposite. But all the memories are worth it. Each and every memory leaves a life - long lesson behind it.

Life is all about relationships;

Some of blood and some made up of just love, affection and care. We make lots of friends in our lifetime. And knowingly or unknowingly, generally or suddenly sometimes we end up having antagonists too; but they're just a reminder of how important your loved ones are or should be to you.
