I’m completing reading On Balance by the late Leila Seth. The lady led a full life- of ups and downs and an average life of many surprises and shocks. Seth was Delhi High Court’s first woman judge, she was also the first woman Chief Justice of the Himachal Pradesh High Court. But she was more than just that, an impeccable mother, her children- Vikram and Aradhana Seth are prominent novelists and art directors.

In many ways, Seth led an average life and she made this average life seem beautiful through her words. With excepts of her family struggles, adventures and travels, her experiences abroad- her life during simpler times was both melancholic and ideal. She never complained about life’s perils but instead just treaded along.

Makes me wonder- are we not happy or grateful for what we have? Why can’t we tread along our problems or simply focus on resolving them instead of whining about them. Absolutely sublime read.. though a wee bit long for me.
