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....
