Instructions: Name 10 of life’s simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick 10 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative; try not to use things that someone else has already used.
- Popcorn and a fizzy drink (or black coffee) at 3-o’clock in the night.
- Waking up to a clock set forward, and realizing that there’s still time to get up from bed.
- Sleeping under a heavy blanket with the fan / AC on full blast.
- Dad’s brinjal chips.
- Waking up to an SMS in the morning.
- Deep thumping bass-lines.
- Passing obscure references, and someone actually getting them!
- Perfect alignment of the morning schedule (*).
- Watching people run here and there, getting wet and miserable in the rain, while realizing that I don’t have to go anywhere today!
- Achieving Zen (usually by means of a more generic solution to a problem).
- Yes, yes, I know, but this extra one is an after thought: I love trains.
And I free you all from the slavery of tag-land! Still, if you feel inclined to get yourself tagged, send me a track-back!
=========
(*) = I love optimization. So, if I am able to leave my house at the perfect time to catch a train that perfectly times with me meeting my friend at XYZ, or catching a connecting bus, or whatever, my day is made. Saving three minutes by taking a fast train instead of a slow one, with all the calculations to determine if the wait for the later fast is worth it, gets me high! Ditto for combining multiple tasks so that all of them are performed in one shot. Maybe I should go join the ATC!
