Legacy lovers are in favor of antiques for then if ants use antics as fodder oh gosh… Well may give rise to controversy if we shun antique and accept modernity some time after modern will become antique…like fashion only question of time to be back Great write Sir 10++ Ms. Nivedita UK

I was just joking today with my mom I could setup a museum with all the things she keeps parking on me! But, let not our heart & minds be filled with dead things, practises, ideologies or with superstitions or prejudices in any form still cling upon our mind's eye dimming our vision like cobwebs. A very humourous and light hearted way to talk of such heavy thoughts to be pondered in the solitude of each one's attic. Angel.

a lesson in emotional detachment, is what I find hidden in these lines. we clutter our mind and homes with stuff that has long since lost its worth. need to lighten our baggage. very clever word play here Kesav. every thing we hear is not gospel truth.10+++ Mamta
