The beatitude bit of my life..

Last night, before I went to bed, I was randomly thinking of things that put me in state of blissful ecstasy. I felt 50 would be a good count. Nevertheless, I had to stop at 17 since the cerebrum inside my big but narrow skull, just refused to work beyond this point.So, here goes the list.

1) Rains- A cool and a mild drizzle to heavy thunderstorms (haven't seen anything more intense), rains are simply wonderful- anywhere and everywhere.
2) Desserts- Apple crumbles, raspberry tarts , soufflé (specially tender coconut) , Mousse,Custards, Thiramisu... I love them all..They definitely make the best "meals" ...slurrrrrrrrrrp.
3)A Swim- In the pool, ponds, lakes, rivers, oceans...all I need is water.. if the skies are dark and gloomy... nothing like it.
4) Coffee- Ahh!! God bless the men/women or simply the man/woman who discovered this wonderful aromatic drink. From the Caribbean , all the way to Africa and South east Asia, and of course not to forget our very own Indian Filter Coffee... I can take in all the caffeine baby!!!
5) Snakes- I know most would go 'Yikes!!'.. but... I must admit, I simply love and adore  these majestic and coy creatures. They slither across as silently,freezing us humans or least of all generating some noticeable goose-bumps.
6)Stones and shells- I don't know why I get fascinated by these stones and shells of all things but seeing lots of them around me gives a very alleviated feeling. I can spend hours in their company.
7) Travelling- Kind of cliche ,but... I am on the list .. hence I love travelling. Land, water, air, any mode is fine as long as I'm on the move..  Biking ... Perfecto!
8)Books- They are just wonderful sources of calming myself. I love reading biographies, mysteries, the nerve wrekking horror and of course CAALLLLVVVIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!.
9)- A walk on the beach/ Long walks- Nothing to beat this appeasing effect to the mind. Some moments in solitude helps you reconnect with the inner you.
10)Bungee Jumping- Get to the peak, scream your lungs out and let go of yourself. Ah!! what a way to de-stress and it definitely sounds exciting. I'm just waiting to try this sometime soon!!
11)Music- The right beats to strike the cord .. no more details needed.
12) Cadbury's Dairy Milk - The 'liking' for it runs in my genes... :):)
13) Paintings and sculpture- Perfect way to understand a person's mind and heart. Its a good way to get a sneek peek into the persons mind, his thinking, his inspirations and his creativity. I love abstract ones particularly.. the thinking cap goes onto my head as well. 
14) Photography- Probably the latest developed interest, but this does make me happy in many ways. I'm totally in an excited mode when I capture something nice, so yes, this hobby is on its way to becoming an ardent one!!
15) Animals- Can be the best of friends. No qualms about them arguing or yelling at me, not listening to me, not being there for me when I need someone the most. Wildlife excites me too... Lions , Tigers, Elephants... get my adrenaline rushing!
16)The jungle & the wild- Away from the urban tumult and into the arms of mother nature, she is the the reason for our life. Visiting her often is so blissful!!
17) A small prayer everyday- Thanking God and the people I love, for being there every moment in my life, for all the efforts they've taken to give me what I have and make me what I am today... Its worth it!!


So.... this sums up quite a large part of my life... I shall keep the the search on, and whenever I find something , I shall add it to this list!!!

Quarter Life crisis

An interesting article I came across for all of us who have just completed a quarter*  of our lives. I am copy-pasting the article as it is. A leverage of +/- 2 years is granted ;) (* I am trying to be optimistic in assuming that  all of us are sure of a full 100 years on this planet.) So here it goes... " Being a twenty-something It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.  You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or i...

Life teachings

A very well written quote that I read a couple of days back. “Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.” — Emery Allen It is humility to forgive people who have caused pain to you, but in reality they've taught you a very valuable lesson. When I look back at every "bad" incident that has happened to me in my life, I feel good.  A formula that I always believe in- Whatever happens is for the good!
