As I read the beautiful poem by Erica Thi ‘Adage’ I felt that life is so simple yet colourful. I was awestruck by the way the poet described simple joys in life such as dance, food and art. This reminded me of my last trip to India in November 2022 where I visited City Palace of Udaipur, Rajasthan. The Palace is indeed huge and historic! ‘Joy of living’ is inspired by one such spot I came across at this great palace known as the peacock courtyard (mor chowk). It consisted of a total of 5 peacocks made up of mosaics inside decorated glass on the walls of the courtyard. As the new year begins, just like the peacock’s seven colours, we must embrace our different moods and dance along with it to experience joy!
