DR. AjithE Collonne's lecture on art of living  is the most interesting lecture that i ever heard.AS he said we live in this word because of three reasons.

1)Happiness

2)Entertainment

3)Enjoyment

According to him When we Think about art of living - there is an art to everything and living well is no exception. Of any art, this would be the one to master since it encompasses all the others.  The art of living well is to make your life an expression of who you are , what you believe, and your hopes, dreams and desires. Of course, to create your life as a work of art is an ongoing, evolving, and creative endeavor. And so it should be.
