Well guys, as today I hit the 20th milestone on this forever perplexing journey called life, I thought I would mark it with a blog post, about something that brings out the essence of what I have become as a result of all my travels, trying my best to learn whatever I could, as I have trudged along. I couldn't think of any one thing in particular, so I decided to share with you a list of things doing/seeing/listening/thinking of which gives me immense joy.
Things might come and things might go, but these are some things that have remained quite constant over the years.However unreasonable(and insane) they might seem, they are signature me!
Hence, presenting, in no particular order, "The Small Little Things":
*Running up to an elevator and pressing the up/down button before the people accompanying me, or those standing even remotely close to the elevator doors can!
* Stopping right in my tracks whenever I spot a gulmohar tree with its leaves within my reach, plucking the leaves, stripping the small leaflets off them...and blowing them away with a puff of air :P
* (Lightly) Pulling the hair of cute little girl and (softly) poking a cute little boy whenever I happen to be close enough to either/both of them to execute my intentions.I just have to do it.(No kind of injury was caused to any child for writing the above.I am pretty child friendly, I assure you).
* Not being able to eat a chocolate in my possession all by myself, however hard I may try !
(chocolates, I believe, are strictly meant to be shared)
* Almost literally licking the Maggi masala off my plate, until the very last remains are gone!
* Drawing a smiley besides my name, whenever I write it on the front page of a book(or anywhere in fact)!
* Writing and underlining the 'Hence,proved' after solving even the silliest question from the most stupid subject that might have ever been created!
* Doodling about in the flour scattered on the kitchen slab, as my mother makes chapatis and I try my best to be a nuisance. I call it "Aatta Art" :P
* SUFI MUSIC.Period.
*Quizzing.....will always remain a favourite, however good or bad I might be at it at any particular time!
* The coffee, the free time and the Harry Potter book(or any good book for that matter)!
* Travelling alone in an empty-ish metro compartment, listening to FM radio and mild sunlight pouring in!
* Singing a groovy song with friends, complementing it with beats produced on any nearby surface! Jamming wihtout instruments basically.. :)
* Creating something entirely new on a whim!
I am sure I am missing out on a real lot of things here, but insanity too has its limits!! :P
Author's Note: I began writing this post on my 20th birthday, which happened to be around 4 months ago, but couldn't eventually publish it since I am such a lazy bum, too lazy to even exucute minor edits.But I'll let the thing out now......comments and reviews are most welcome!
