Late regrets

I just finished my volunteering at SAI temple and was ready to go home. I came out of the temple and got into the car. As soon as I turned the ignition on, a wonderful voice came on the radio. It was the living legend SP Balasubramaniam's voice. The weather was just perfect, cloudy with soft light and was drizzling a bit. It was heavenly listening to this wonderful man narrate his successes and aspirations. Few years back I was not even ready to listen to his songs, let alone his talk shows. I actually deplored him, so much so that, when I saw him in Hyderabad Airport on one of my trips, I ignored him. How perceptions change! What a Ignoramus I have been. Now, I would give my best day to spend few minutes with this highly talented individual. It took me quite a bit of growing to understand that it is not the attitude but the talent that makes a person and its not attitude but the perception that makes you see a person in true sense!
