Joy had his tea, breakfast, chatted about life in general, and then collapsed over... No warning, No signal, No symptoms..just a sudden rude departure.... Mel did not have even time to cope with it...
Joy worked hard... provided for everyone...everything... lived in the fast lane, took care of everyone and everything... then why....
Moi has no answers, just wonder that maybe I need to work less, enjoy more, do my bucket lists, live for today and as as if it was the last, who knows what happens tomorrow, and who cares, coz when it does.. maybe the cuppa tea will be your last...

What makes me happy?
Lists.. i have a things to do list, shopping list, grocery list, things i have to change about my wardrobe list, things i must close this month list, people i must talk to list, close friends list, bday list, connections list, linked in list, family bday list...
Well today i drafted a "what makes me happy list"
a) Listening to this song "Everybody Talks" / "Crazy in Love"- listening to these songs makes me feel like dancing, jiving, cha chaing... makes my face smile, feet move and my day the happiest
b) Eating "Dal" "Chawal" - a plate of boiled rice with simple yellow dal or black daal with nice ghee makes me thrilled... i dont need anything
c) Tayir Sadam - Competing for the second place... is good old dahi bath. The tayir sadam in a steel dabba with some amazing nartanga urgai (lemon pickle) is ambrosia in my mind
d) Cheesy but true - looking at old pictures, i love snaps... to me they are memories of the time gone by :-) Be on facebook, on my hard drive, my old albums.. they are more precious to me than my clothes and jewels. I am happiest when i see a picture of me mom dad indu hari.. or a joke cracked with Samit in Mumbai in 2004, or with Harry on his 2005 Bday :-)
e) Blissful ......when i spend time with Samit during our holidays, be it as recent as Goa, or as far back as Coorg and Mumbai.. there is peace and total happiness... I cannot explain that emotion, probably the way Hrithik's character in ZNMD feels during the song "Khwabon ke parindey"... bliss totally
f) Immersed in the culture of a new place - Sitting in the verandah, of a super secluded Igloo type cottage in a game reserve at South Africa, looking at the vast grassland and the setting sun.. Driving down the wine yards in Stellenbosch near Cape Town..... spending 4 hours with a complete stranger showing me the sights and sounds of the Cape... Looking over the vast Baltic Sea, in the freezing September in a sea trip to Estonia... these are moments which made my life totally happy and memorable, If i were to be borne again, will love to travel all over the world..
g) I am not embarrased, the ability to desire and achieve the luxuries of life. It makes me happy that am still able to achieve it
h) Dancing - to be able to dance non stop to amazing music...
i) Reading "Pride and Prejudice", "Bridges of Madison County", "The CLass" - my 3 fav books of all time
j) Eating Chuskis, or Lollis ... 5 Rs only
Will love to hear about your lists....
