C'est la vie

I think that I must have been in Class 7, when I heard first this song on 'A Date with you'-the Friday programme on All India Radio, Delhi.

Learnt that it was sung by Emerson,Lake and Palmer.

Absolutely loved it!

Then understood that it meant "That's life"in French. The phrase is mainly used in the context of "That's the way it goes."


It stayed in my mind, all day and all night...

Then...

And even now.....

Sometimes,as I "stop to smell the roses" in my day to day hustle bustle, I still hear it play....

Only this time,

It comes from within my own mind....
