Saturday

Be Happy!!!!

Was going through the Happiness Issue of Lounge, the magazine section of the newspaper Mint…. It talks about 101 ways to get happy!!
It reminded me of all the things I enjoy doing since childhood! Things that really make me feel blessed and grateful for everything around me… It further reinforced the idea that to be truly happy, one doesn’t need to be a millionaire…That the best things in life are free (almost)!!!!

Listing down few things that make me happy… not in the same order!!

1) Poring over my childhood family albums and going nostalgic over those silly stupid things I used to do… (Not that I have changed much now!!)
2) Enjoying a good movie not at the hall but at home on a rented DVD with family complete with home-made butter dripping popcorns and piping hot chocolate coffee!!
3) Munching on moongfali (ground-nuts) and chikki on a warm Sunday afternoon with family soaking in the winter sun, catching up on gossips!
4) Splashing beautiful colors randomly on a blank sheet of paper and claiming it to be a modern art!
5) Switching on the radio/TV and stumbling upon a favorite song I haven’t heard for a long time!!
6) Trying to get out from the warm comforts of the quilt early morning to go to office and suddenly realizing it’s a holiday!!
7) Gorging on a bowl of hot, delicious Maggi cooked by my kid brother!
8) Having a heart to heart conversation with a friend I haven’t spoken to for quite some time!
9) Shopping during Mega Sale season!!!
10) Seeing my Cheeku smile naughtily!
11) Playing Housie (Lotto) and Dumbcharates with friends and cousins all night!
12) Seeing roses bloom in my kitchen garden!
13) Traveling on the window seat of a train feasting my eyes over the passing lush green fields and huge mountains!!
14) A head massage with coconut oil by Mum on a Saturday night!
15) Reading and writing testimonials on orkut!!


Hope the list made you smile…. Do share yours!!!!! :)

Hello nidhi! "A head massage with coconut oil by Mum on a Saturday night!"
- My wife gives me a coconut oil massage from head to foot at least once a week and it certainly makes me happy. :-)

I also take at least 4 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil (VCO) daily to boost my immune system. This is definitely part of my "be happy" regimen. Just my two cents.

Cheers,
