The Race Horse

February 10, 2016 by thebengali

Angus was a shrewd and hardworking trader. He had risked his meagre capital on a few half-opportunities and with a mix of good luck and great bartering skills, he was doing well within a few years. In 10 years of trading, Angus had expanded from a one-man show out of a 100-sq feet rented shop to a proprietorship employing 30 people in a two-storeyed building owned by him.

So what is beauty? And who is it for? The Beholder or the Object of Admiration? Or The Creator? And who is accountable for the consequences of beauty?
