Things that make you smile

Think about each, one at a time, BEFORE going on to the next one...
YOU WILL FEEL GOOD, especially the thought at the end. I've picked up my favourite ones :P

*********************************************
Laughing so hard your face hurts

No lines at the supermarket

Getting mail that you were waiting for..

Taking a drive on a pretty road

Hearing your favorite song on the radio

Lying in bed listening to the rain outside

Falling in love

A bubble bath

A good conversation

Finding a 20 dollar bill in your coat from last winter

Laughing at yourself

Running through sprinklers

Laughing for absolutely no reason at all

Laughing at an inside joke

Friends.

Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you

Playing with a new puppy

Having someone play with your hair

Sweet dreams

Hot chocolate

Road trips with friends

Holding hands with someone you care about

Running into an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change

Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much desired present from you

Knowing that somebody misses you

Getting a hug from someone you care about deeply

Knowing you've done the right thing, no matter what other people think

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

18th April 2016 Arvind and I recently read about the 19 year old who is solving the world’s ocean pollution crisis. Boyan Slat is a Dutch engineering student single handedly developing the gyers (floating booms and processing platforms) which would potentially clean up 20 billion tonnes of plastic from the world's oceans; the plastic which kills millions of animals and damages thousands of cargo vessels every year. Arvind stressed on the fact that he was 19 – he was exceptionally impressed by a kid who showed that much drive, determination and hard work at such a young age. For me, regardless of his age, this was so commendable. The age didn’t matter to me, infact I disagreed with Arvind, and mentioned how adults have it harder to do something for the greater good. Not only are they in a pathetic zone (they have full time jobs!), they also have responsibilities towards their families and are less imaginative and courageous than the youth since they are aware of the hindrances li...

As the bus rattled on the potholes of the city road, I heard a clinging in the pocket of the conductor.. I looked around in the dim yellow light, and felt a vision. A tiny silver coin under some seat of this bus was waiting, waiting to be picked up by a man as it glimmered in the darkness of a corner.

How we constantly judge everyone, including ourselves

It's been a while since I wrote something. I went through some old journal entries to instrospect on the kind of person I was back then. Here's one from 26 th July 2014. . . . . . We’ve been in a long on-going period of flat hunting. Now that that’s finally done, we’re all working towards getting a tenant for the current house that the guys lived in. I wonder how long it’s gonna take India to move on and let people live their lives. Basic human rights that people have are not given here. One’s right to have animals in the house; right to live with whomever you want. Right to love someone of the same sex openly, and the right to choose who to be with. Sometimes I look back at myself when I judge someone, and wonder where it’s all coming from. Was it my upbringing? The society? Was it me? There are things I still feel I need to change about my thinking and approach towards other humans. Today evening, I went to buy groceries in Hypercity; we were so out of...
