Note to Self.

Happiness.

  • Watching rain drops slide down the huge bus windows forming a transparent veil. They veil me from the traffic clogged roads and make me smile despite everything
  • The phone buzzing, unexpectedly, the night I can't fall asleep
  • The smell of sugary, hot adraki chai coming to a boil as I await my ride back home. The chai cascading from one tumbler into another, the chaiwala never missing a beat
  • An old movie ticket
  • My cute,fat sausage roll of a dog greeting me good morning with a effusive wag as I roll out of bed
  • Beatles early in the morning!
  • Zipping down NH4, wind in  hair, song on  lips
  • My book shelf!
  • The oh-so-lovely aroma of strong filter coffee as my bus swerves past Madras Cafe at King's Circle
  • The unpredictability of songs on radio, AIR!
  • Match boxes
  • Red on my toes
  • A scrumptious meal with my family
  •  Paycheck!
  • A smile from a stranger
  • Having a conversation about nothing as I watch the rain soak the city from my favorite table at Cafe Mondegar. And of course the Juke churns a retro every other minute.Bliss.
  • Silver.Shoes.Earrings.Bangles.Rings.
  • Doggy-poggy. Pudding and Pie.
Happiness. It's many things.
