Its fun to observe how we live. We all live with our own notions that we tend to develop from childhood. When we were kids, we lived to grow. As a teenager newly into a college, we were little scared to get ragged in front of other colleagues. Later we got buzy with studies, I need to top the class! This followed by placements, jobs and so on...All these form one aspect of life, the purposeful part to be successful.
But pleasures form that part of life, which we all like to recollect wherever we are, however we are. Nostalgic we are about events that make us smile, laugh and thus always yearn to get back to those days. If we scrutinize, most of the time those are small pleasures that live with us and we love them being with us. Though we all tend to shield ourselves in an external mask, our inner being wants to be free, simple, without any pressures.
It was a chilly wintry morning. I had my cozy overcoat with me that I was wearing everyday to beat the chill thats gonna welcome me on my way to office. The road that leads to my office is without any buildings but with trees on either sides for some part of it and open mountainous light-grassy ground, a sight of beauty, for rest of the 15min ride. The spin gets spicy in winters with this greenary adding their share of coolness to already chill weather.
So I wore my grey, fluffy english overcoat, armed my light sky-blue frog shaped bag on my back, sat on my Ambition and started off. I also put some cotton in my ears to avoid cold catching my ears for in recent past I had suffered from viral. But there was something that was making me feel good that day. I was feeling so good about my self. The reason was, i was not wearing any chappals (footwear). Imagine someone wearing all that packing and finally riding on a bike without any chappals. There could have been a odd, inferior feeling that could have arised in me some years back. But now, I enjoy it. For I know simple things matter most.
- Having a coffee early morning (I am gonna start from tomorrow, watch out!)
- Sitting and just chatting...
- Having a get-together and cooking food for your colleagues (then notice their reactions too!)
- Watching a movie with your friends
- Shouting at the top of your voice, when you feel so..
- Singing in bathroom
- Taking-off chocolate from a kids' hands
- Pulling your friends' legs (not literally)
- Telling each other our bosses' stories and rating them
- Dancing especially when not known
- Sitting with friends at a road-end wearing tucked-in formal dress
- Trying to lick even the last bit of juice from glass
- Lying down on the grass and looking at clouds, etc...etc...
and most importantly,
- Learning to love your life
