A Retrospect on the tiny Pleasures

Remembering W.H Davies words 'What is this life if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare"

Unknowingly I started retrospecting on the tiny pleasures that we crossed in life..Being busy with the fast track life, sometimes we miss the little little pleasures of life.

I was just trying to remember those kutty kutty pleasures.Rewinding back my life a little, these were the little little things that comes to top of my mind.

- Early morning strong filter coffee with a news paper. {Coffee should have the foam, its very important..

- Happy to catch a half empty PTC bus to school. {There are days, I missed several buses and came back home saying, Ma, could not get the bus, so today leaveeeeeeee :)

- The long wait for Games period. {Though I am not a great sport..


- Watering the plants in the garden, Somehow I feel whenever I water them, there will be a mild breeze { I used to assume nature is thanking me for the water ;)


- Sitting by the window and watching the heavy rain {while the frog making up the background music.


- Eagerly watching news for schools to be declared holiday due to rain. {Thats the only season I was eager about news..


- Distributing choclates to whole class during birthday.


- Un uniform declared after festival days. { An escape from boring uniform and mainly the Two Plaits :)


- Going out of station for Annual holidays and extensive playing with cousins.


- Every year school results, the few minutes thrill of opening the inland cover and seeing 'PROMOTED' :) even though we know we will pass.


- When mom makes hot hot Bajji during Rainy days.


- Travelling 30 mins in company bus listening to Radio Mirchi. {I ll never feel like getting down, wish it continues another 30 mins..


- After checking the office mails, finding out there is less work to do for the day :)


- T time chat with friends.


- Yearning for sunday's potato fry and onion sambar.


- Hot crispy potato chips with a favourite novel during weekends.


- Getting onto a leather coat and having a pleasant walk when its snowing lightly.


And sure there are many more, but right now, these are the one that strikes on top of my mind and gives me a big wide smile on my face while I remember them fondly
