Most often, but unbeknowst to us, beauty is staring us in the face.
The overhead light fixture. Patterns on a leaf. Paan stains on an old wall. The graphic patterns formed by cracks on a sidewalk. Droplets on a window pane. But we hardly notice these things.
That's probably because we're conditioned to see beauty through convention - The snow capped mountain range, the shiny red sports car, palm trees ... the tropical beach.
But if we refocus a bit, we'll soon notice that everyday, ordinary things can in fact become very interesting. And very beautiful.
