Simple Pleasures of Life

are experienced when

You rest your back on a Sunday afternoon, with old melodies of Illayaraja drifting in the background lulling you into a half sleep while a tiny bundle moves all over you occasionally stopping to caress your face with his tiny little hands.

You watch a night show with friends and cruise along empty roads at one in the night with a cold blast of air sweeping across your brow, feeling like the queen of the world. (Falling sick the next day is totally another story)

You crack silly jokes with your mom about your sister and giggle away while she glares at us only to break into an unstoppable laugh herself. You cannot help but stop and thank the universe for blessing you with a family that is also your friend

You make yourself a hot bowl of Maggie and eat it cuddling on the bed on a rainy afternoon, while watching a good movie

You wake up in the morning to a sweet little face that smiles down on you with the most beautiful smile on earth which makes you want to freeze the moment forever

You stop over at a friend's house and chat away to glory in the middle of the road, not aware of the time and return all revved up

You and your dad race to finish a box of chocolates realizing yet another time that there is a child in everyone

You look up and see your dad rocking your nephew in his arms and singing lullaby to make him sleep

You see your mom mock fighting with your nephew just to make him grin and show his 2 tiny little teeth
