Happiness

* I am now clutching at straws for something to blog about and with nothing better to do. I am taking up this tag. Got it from Homecooked.*

Anyway, Happiness is

- A random sms/ telephone conversation with a friend

- A good book

- A game of basketball well played

- An unexpected Hug from somebody I love

- A killer pair of shoes

- Anything chocolatey

- Laughing with friends over the lamest jokes.

- The warm feeling I get when I go through old photographs and relive all the memories

- The satisfaction of something well-written and a project well-done

- Gossiping and sharing deep dark secrets with my best friends

- Hearing an ' I love you' or an 'I miss you' from a friend or family

- A long warm e-mail from a friend I haven't heard from in a while

- Dancing around by myself in the house.

- A beautiful photograph either mine or anybody else's.

- Traveling

- The excitement I feel when the plane just takes off

- Drinking and dancing with close friends

- Hot French Fries from McDonald's

- Random plans with friends

- Staring out of the window on a long train journey


- A sunset at a beach. This one's at Kanya kumari.

- People wishing me on my birthday. Makes me feel like I actually matter.

- Being told I've lost weight. ( The last three are all inspired by Homecooked.)

And whoever wants to, can take up this tag.

Tis' Fun

The dancing by oneself at home bit, is a certain mood lifter. I do that very often too...: )

@ Homecooked : But I had to give you credit, it was only after I read your list that I realised how happy those three things make me.

I'm happy that you liked the photograph. Took it this year on a trip to Kanyakumari with family.

@ Dusty Fog : Total mood lifter. I love playing music on my computer and then dancing around while I do other things

@ Moo : Yes yes, the commenters definitely make me happy. Just thought it was so obvious that I didn't really need to say it. :D

@ Wolf Counsellor : I'm glad you could relate. Makes me feel happier. Read your post. Loved it. And thank you for stopping here too.

Remembering Avanti

Day before yesterday, on the 8th of November 2008, Avanti Desai would have turned 21. Instead 15 days before her birthday, as she hurried home to celebrate her grandmother's birthday, Avanti met with a train accident at Jogeshwari station. Just like that. Gone from our lives forever. Leaving behind a huge void and the world a lot more gloomier. And when I got the call first thing in the morning, I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a cruel sadistic joke, but as the calls kept coming in, I realised it was true. Even at the cemetary,, it still hadn't sunk in that Avanti was no longer here. The worst moment though was watching her disappear into the crematorium, it was horrible and I couldn't believe we were leaving her there, and through the next couple of hours all I could think of was of her going up in smoke while we stood there in the bright sunshine. It seemed incomprehensible at first, to think of Avanti as dead, to talk about her in the past tense, to get...

The one with all the food

While I've already done the Happiness is tag once before, I've had food on my mind an awful lot lately. I'm comfort-eating myself all the way to obesity, but I just can't bring myself to care somehow. Anyhoo, Happiness is.. A steaming cup of tea and Parle G biscuits Brun maska and chai Cheese maggi (Double points if it's eaten in a ramshackle hut in the middle of nowhere in Ladakh) Fresh off the tawa alu ka parathas dripping with butter Mutton and cheese burger from Bembos Fiery Mangalorean sorpotel and sannas Tibetan momos from Dharamsala Mashed potatoes with salt, pepper and butter Candies classic roasted chicken Biryani made with fragrant rice and melt-in-the-mouth mutton Cheesy bhajji with warm buttery pav Paya soup from Bara Handi nalli marke Blueberry cheesecake A jar of Nutella and a big spoon Hot McDonalds' french fries sprinkled liberally with salt Rajma-chawal and fried fish Reese peanut butter cups Mangalorean chicken curry and panpoles/Neer dosas Ch...

Randomity

I sat here staring at my screen for at least 15 minutes before I could decide what to blog about and as I write this I still have no idea. It's randomness at its best. There are a multitude of thoughts swirling through my head and I'm finding it hart to pinpoint or firmly hold one down. To be precise, what I'm feeling is exactly what Mynie describes in Strings . It's a knotted mess in my head. But I felt that it was time I did a blog post, there have been way too many tags lately and while I love doing tags. It's incredibly cathartic to write a post and get everything off my chest. And while this may seem a mess of a post, there's a lot of stuff that I wanted to talk about but didn't really seem to deserve an entire post to themselves, in terms of content at least. So I'm gonna put them all in here, in what is probably going to turn up to be a hell of a confused post. I'm just going to go with the flow and talk about whatever pops into my head. Cool?...
