Aren’t you amazed at how the simplest of things can give you more pleasure than all the material wealth that you think is all important to enjoy life to the fullest [at least they do for me :)]...
Sometimes I am surprised at the happiness I derive from a simple thing like an early morning walk...the air's crisp and you can hear the birds singing [?]..And see the sunrise :)... absolutely fantastic...it actually gives me the goose bumps to see all of god's creations…
Then there are some smells that are an absolute treat to the senses - eucalyptus oil, smell of mud that arises with the first showers of rain, henna, amma's vengaaya sambaar, jasmine flowers and that distinct smell that you get when you hold babies [clean ones, I mean]...
A really neat beach with the white sand and the surf…the sea being a mix of green and blue [turquoise]...nature in all its glory... usually makes me want to go all wild :D...
Flowers, waterfalls, snow and greenery...nature in general... NGC being a favourite channel :)…
Couples in love...they always make me want to smile…all their blushes and shyness and those special smiles meant exclusively for their loved one to decipher...
Naughty kids...so much fun to hang out with, even if they actually drive their parents totally nuts with all that energy :D
Dads putting babies to sleep...I feel it makes the cutest picture ever…
Watching the sunset especially at some hill station or the other...
Getting dripping wet in the rain…
Eating ice lollies during summer holidays…
Getting hold of the next issue of your favourite comic book, you have been dying to read…
I am getting kind of nostalgic with summer holidays and the rest...I seriously miss those carefree days...just holidays and no worries…no deadlines to meet and no meetings to attend…
Ok!! I must stop this piece at this point; otherwise I will just bore you to death…if I haven’t done so already

Oooh... Aren't you in a really good mood? But you just reminded me of the smaller beautiful things that matter a lot to me. May I?

Smells: The smell of a new book ( I bet you like it too)...
Oh yeah... I like the smell of clean babies too... ;)
The smell of soil after the first rain shower.


Sight: The sight of a one single ray of light fighting through the clouds to spread the light. (I have a picture)
Seeing a guy in love... People always talk about glow on the face of a girl in love. But I think the glow on the face of a guy in love is a sight worth a watch.
Speaking of which, watching a guy blush.
Dads tending to babies. There is something very cute about a guy holding a baby in his arms.

Feeling: Someone acknowledging that they called you just because there were thinking about you. In other words, someone acknowledging the fact that you are in their thoughts.
Overhearing someone talking something nice about you.
Thoughtful Gesture. "I know this is what you like, so I thought to do it."
Doing something thoughtful for an absolute stranger around and getting back a grateful smile.
Holding a baby close to your heart (Makes me think "Awww.... I want one..not now, but yeah...I want one")
There are more such feelings but not for public view...

Thanks Satya for reminding me of these beautiful things in life. I really needed this boost. You made my day. Thanks really!
