simple pleasures~

* A bunch of wild flowers tied into a little bunch with a string.
* early morning cool breeze.
* sparrows chirping.
* white rangoli on wet pavements.
* children's laughter.
* fluttering pigeons .
* my favourite song on replay.
* amul roasted almond ice-cream in a tub.
* juicy litchis that don't last longer than few minutes.
* pulpy intoxicating mangoes.
* anticipation of the weekend.
* seeing my cosmos seedlings grow.

what are your simple pleasures?

such a co-incidence - my latest post is also about such simple pleasures. I enjoy long walks in the evening, watching the sunset sky and ofcourse having a hot cup of chai :)

Simple pleasures-
I love to lie under the shady trees and read on a hot day.
Lie in the sun on a balmy winter day.
lounge around on a chatai and gossip with my aunts. mom or friends.
lie and stare at stars on a cool night.
sit on my patio quitely and watch the birds feeding from the bird feeder.
Bliss.
Did I pen a post here? ;-)

- the 5 minute car ride when I pick Nethra up from school
- watching her sleep and waiting for her to wake up... (the first 10 min after she wakes are the best times ever)
- going thru' rang decor archives and your home tour in AT :)
- lighting my new 10-minute incense sticks
- spotting the new leaves everyday on my jade bonsai.... am nourishing it back to health after a bad spell
- dreaming about how our new apartment will turn out.... and waiting for finally being able to leave the windows open :)

beautiful post, as always...

simple pleasures for me ~

-i love to see the winter morning sunlight filtering through the window on the white sheets of my bed.

-20 minutes of tea and talk time with mom in the morning breeze of our balcony, before rushing for work.

-eating crispy pakodas on rainly evenings

-pulling my sister's cheeks and seeing her faking anger...!

-hearing the sound of thunder...! it soars my heart..!

-real slow driving, with my headphones on ~ engrossed in music and feeling the intoxicating wind on my skin.

-watching a new bud or sprout blossom in the potted plants at home.


thanks for this post..i loved recalling the simple things which make me happy :)

My simple pleasures:

Sipping warm rose tea on a chilly day when my toes and fingers are kinda frozen.

My 4 yr cousins face. To me her chubby , dimpled face is like an energy shot.

When my mum kisses me when she thinks I'm still asleep :P

Sunrise/sunset/rain from my verandah.

Man I am in such a good mood, the weather here is brilliant lol.
