I've been wanting to write this for quite some time..But I didnt have the drive, till Sri tagged me..
I am a person who believes that true joy is living every day to the fullest and true adventure is making simple things interesting...So writing down 10 simple pleasures life offers is almost impossible for me becoz I can think of atleast 1000 and so I am shortlisting the 10 which are the most frequently occuring ones..
1. Waking up late on a Saturday morning...with absolutely no work to do and the whole weekend ahead!
2. Walking home from the bus stand in the evening...alone...Watching the sun set, enjoying the cool breeze, and taking in the beautiful transformation of day into night...Its a lovely feeling..
3. Playing bingo or bull shit in a boring class in the back bench..blissfully unaware of what is being taught...knowing well that u wont get caught! well..doodling in my notebook..lost in a dream comes a close second
4. Turning on the music that suits my mood at the particular moment and stepping into the shower(this works like a charm to make me feel better after a tired day)
5. Talking to dad in the terrace..invariably in the night after dinner...till mom shouts at us to come down
6. Reading a cute sms from a friend...who,u know, had sent it not becoz it was a forward but becoz u know the person truely wanted to say that to you
7. Going shopping with mom...watching her relax and unwind...I love it when she asks me my opinion about what she buys for herself...love it more when she takes it seriously...And when it comes to buying stuff for me..Mom's the boss and she rocks!
8. Practising for an event..esp a play...something we did often in school and something I miss in college...We used to have such fun.. Adding our own touch to the dialogues and changing the story every 5 mins...with only 6 of us regular dramatists in that huge auditorium...6 people who were not friends,not even close, but just binded by a passion for the stage...the auditorium wud always echo our lines and our laughter....
9. Singing with Suchi, Ramya and Raji in the bus....it helps us pass the weary 45 kms in the evening... We'd play every possible game and once a lecturer who travelled with us said that we sang beautifully but she couldnt hear much becoz it was not loud enuf!! It is for the sole purpose of killing time we sing but we end up having too much fun always!
10. Fighting with Ani(my sis).. I really missed her for the past three weeks...Having a sister is a blessing...We fight over very silly things..one of us would start crying and the other would immediately start consoling...The best times are when we conspire something...I really thank God everyday for giving my such a darling sister...I know we hurt each other alot but still we really cant imagine our lives without each other...
So that's that...10 simple pleasures... But then again there are so many I just can't put into words... The thing about life is..You may not be able to enjoy something big you that you anticipate...but you will certainly have moments which are so simple and plain, but so unforgettable..that they will stay etched in your mind..like perfect paintings..and these pictures will never fade away..
And now for tagging...I tag Rajeev, Parthan, Sindhu and Harini...
