Happiness is…..
Picking up this tag from Homecooked,
Happiness is….
- A warm sunny day, camera in hand, hand in hand, by a river/lake/sea, soaking up the sun rays, picnic lunch…(it has been a while since we did one of those, now that Spring is officially here we should plan a picnic soon)
- Late nights in the patio, smelling the blooming jasmine and talking
- A push-yourself-to-the-max session of Bharatanatyam that has every muscle screaming in pain and the adrenaline rush that follows (obviously R has not experienced this)
- Sharing a dessert at Ruggles
- A walk in our neighborhood (we love this area and our home)
- Times spent with family
- Diwali parties at home
- Travel.. anywhere… anytime is happiness
- Discovering a hidden bar of chocolate in the handbag unexpectedly (V’s secret pleasures)
- Flowers, fresh and pretty decorating the home
- A challenging game of chess and winning it (R’s obsession)
- Aggie football and basketball wins (R the Aggie fan)
- Friday evenings….the dreams of the weekend/ a long weekend
- Dreaming about our dream home
- On a blanket at the Miller Outdoor Theater (we are doing that this weekend)
- Long drives
- A surprise (of any kind, gift, visit, trip!)
- A clean home (I know we wish the house cleans by itself)
- Browsing through books at the library/bookstore for hours
- Bird photography in Galveston/High Island at 6am on a weekend
- The feeling of bliss that fills us when we visit not-so-crowded temples
That is quite a long list! If you have not done this tag, go ahead and do it. Do post a link to your list in the comment section.

Bookstores are the best places are’nt they? We ultimately did not make it to the outdoor theater this weekend due to other happenings but sure one weekend will go there n post some pics here.
Thanks for dropping by Mandira. Temples uncrowded and silent and old in almost ruins are my kind of places. It sort of feels more peaceful there. I find the modern temples with ceramic tiles in the santum more like bathrooms…
