Finer Pleasures!

Mornings- A cold morning. Sitting in morning sun. On the roof with a newspaper and a hot breakfast. Pleasant!

Afternoons- Slow, lazy afternoons. Would love to just take a nap after lunch but would ultimately slip into deep slumber.

Night- In the backyard. Cool Satpura breeze. Struggling earthen lamp. Scent of Rat-Rani. Clear sky. The stars. With all the cousins. A pillow fight.

Sleep- In Aai's lap. As she pats your head gently, just cherish it. No matter how much grown up I may have become. Heaven!

Hug- A group hug. Just aai, baba and us.

Kiss- Kissing young sister. Gently pulling her cheek. Her innocent smile. Priceless!

Hand shake- A warm, soft palm within mine.

Pride- Dadaji adorning that old but shiny Cap. Walking straight. Standing tall. In his 80s. Respect! Dignity!

Leisure- Sitting on a swing. listening to music. reading a joke-book. laughing out aloud.

Crave- One cake. Just one; of chocolate. Yummie!

Walk- Night. Star studded. Brisk wind. Rustling leaves. Clittering crickets. And hand in hand. Bliss!

Talk- For hours. Together. About anything and everything under the sun. The night just passes.

Share- Share happiness. Joys. Every good thing. Pleasure!

Sip- A hot cup of Coffee. In a July rain. Sitting in front of blurred window. A sip and letting your heart out. Just like that.

Sit- On a bench. In a garden, from where I can aimlessly observe. Just watch the busy crowd getting thick and thin, while birds chirp happily in the background.

Laugh- That hearty and huge laughter till warm tears start rolling out. Priceless!

Sing- On the stage? I am not sure. But in the bathroom. Oh yeah! 'We are the champions!' Just you and your echo. No bigger joy!

Tears- Just think of times bygone. Remembering old smiles with tears in the eyes. Nostalgia!

Care- When a friend knows just what's on your mind and in your heart. Let the silence do talking. Look at each other. Realize that you are never alone. Never ever!

Love- Knowing that someone is thinking of you. Now. Everytime. An emotion. Transcends into unfathomable depths and sky soaring heights. Just so undefinable!

Smile- Just a smile. A grin. Contagious. Refreshing.

Help- The poor. The needy. Give. Donate. Everything you can. Shear satisfaction!
