* foggy mornings yielding to the lazy sunrays.
* church bells on Sundays
* hot fluffy quilts in the afternoon sun.
* kites flying in the blue skies
* intoxicating fragrance of wild white lilliums that greet me in the living room.
* fluttering of pigeon wings.
* mishti dahi ( sweet yogurt) in earthern pots.
* leftovers from a pre-new year bash.
Tried a butterscotch icecream & chocolate cake sandwich for dessert. 
Jaipuri blockprint 'Razai' soaking up the afternoon sun
* read many, many books.
