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...

La La Land Review

23rd Jan 2016 I watched La La Land today.  I’m not really one for musicals, but the story completely overpowered the ‘genre’ of the film. The trailer didn’t excite me much, but I was curious to know why it won SO many Golden Globes, and besides – it was directed and written by Damien Chazelle, the same man who made ‘Whiplash’; another film I was awed by.  I still have first-screening frenzy, but I’ll try to look at this as clearly as I can. This was not just a musical. It is an honest and heartfelt film about dreamers; a subject which is very relatable to us all. Emma and Ryan are so cute and charismatic, and it’s lovely to see how their ambitions unfold and how one makes the other push forward and become someone more. I don’t think it’s a love story, but a story about the honesty and drive with which the characters dream. However you do root for the two of them, and the love story is beautiful to watch at parallel. I was left speechless choked up by the end....

Life's Hard

It's funny how at one moment, life is heaven. Bliss. And a few days, it's hell. You hate living it, it's frustrating. As you grow, u realise everyday, the complexities of the world. How friends live for each other, how parents treat their children, n how they're misunderstood. How some people are not fortunate to have a good family, some who are deprived of love. Some who need you, and you only, and some who you need, but cant get. Some who hang on, even after they're thrown off cliffs by life. How each day brings a new lesson, how time passes, with happiness and sorrow everyday. How one lives for another, just to see a smile on their faces. Faces that hardly experience joy, or the feeling of being loved. And somewhere, in your heart, you love them for needing you, and being so weak. Yet, you can't bear to see them that way. Life gets harder when you're living for someone other than yourself .
