Life, originally uploaded by mukul.soman.

I was walking along the streets of San Francisco, along Market street to be precise, enjoying the cold breeze and the spring sun, looking for interesting subjects to click. That when i saw this guy. He makes his livelihood by playing drums and entertaining people. Well his drums are nothing but disposed water cans. A rather crude way of making music one might think, but dont be mistaken, he is a master of his art. His sense of beats and timing is impeccable, so is his passion. Passion, the very essence of living. Have you ever felt doing something that never tires you out? Have you ever craved to do more some activity again and again? Have you worked all night with just one focus, to finish off what you set out to do? Do you sit back and take a deep breath and smile at the end of what you started out with? If you don't, well you haven't discovered passion yet. If you do, then well you are alive and kicking! Enjoying life to the fullest, radiating positivity and realizing what is the true meaning of satisfaction, this man plays his drums and the passion with which he plays is an inspiration, to me, to you and to the world...he doesn't have material wealth , he doesn't have a home but he has a burning love for music inside of him, a flame that keeps him going, while hoping that a few more alms come in so he can have his next meal.

He inspires me, he should inspire each one of us. Do what what you love to do for a living my friends. If you can manage that, you are truly living!

Life = Passion. Peace out.
