Little Things......

Now that my cynic head has been folded in for a while, let me rant on for a while feeling good about life.

Everyone talks about how it was a rotten day and how things went all wrong.
Hmm.....just a thought...what things would make you feel good at the end of the day? Would there be 5 things that you would list out....

These cannot be anything special like winning a Nobel Prize or anything (hmm..not that I know anyone who has a chance of doing that)...these have to be the little pleasures in life...what are those 5? Let me attempt at this....

1. Talking with a friend after a long time....especially those ones with whom you can pick up from where you left irrespective of how long its been..
2. A job well done...and i mean in the strictest sense, well done according to myself not wrt the world, the bosses, the peers...i can tell you that should not be very often if your standards are high enough....
3. Somebody stopping for you on the road to let you go first...that's such a rarity in India....but trust me, you do it once in a while and hopefully the other person acknowledges it, it feels great
4. A real great joke....long live the sitcoms...even better if it is something in life...i do miss those amazing sessions of completely non-intellectual talk in B-school which leads to nothing...as George says, 'this show is about nothing' (Seinfeld)

5.



- Nothing more to say about this


This is tougher than I thought.....

Anybody interested in doing this can tag themselves and let me know their list of 5... :)
