A few of my favorite things…


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Remember the song from Sound of Music that many of learnt to hum as kiddies at school. Well, I have only understood the true meaning in my adulthood…to remember the good things and smile even when the going gets tough…
Here are some of my smile catalysts…
1)      Roads lined with trees and sun peeping in through them while am travelling through empty roads
2)      Rainy days on the terrace; smell of earth after rain
3)      Backstreet Boys, Savage Garden & Bryan Adams
4)      When my best pals call me and say “Hi babes, good morning love, hello cupcake”
5)      GEORGE CLOONEY movies
6)      Steaming cuppas of kadak chai made by my baby sister
7)      Babies smiling at me
8)      Molten chocolate

“When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad”

  1. oooo...nice.... i have a long list too!!! the best I think is the feeling of waking up in the early hours of the morning because of the sound of rain on the window... and you look at your alarm and realise you have another 3 hours of sleep left!!! :D
