This post is a counter measure to my other post Well, when life has got its downs and we crib about it, we certainly have to appreciate all the ups of life, right? Ok! Here comes the Libra alive and kicking in me. Never mind! Do check out the little pleasures of life. They make life beautiful. Its my opinion that great ideas and work make life worth living but its only the little pleasures that pull us through periods of darkness.

Come folks, lets live life king-size! What are you waiting for?

your list of "chinna chinna aasais" is rather good. (except the last one of course :))

The one i liked most was "seeing your grand-daughter say "I do" "
- spoken like a true granny :)

->get to win in the exhibition games at the first go?

That was really good. . .Still waiting for the above to happen all i ever win in exhibitions are crummy key chains they give everyone :(

Aah... now I'm jealous of you!

Alpine Path said...

stranger, :D thanks!! And when I do become a granny, that is my most ardent wish :) I thought that last one was what all of us lived for ;)

vishnupriya, well! Things happen when you least expect it. I won a ball when I thought I wouldn't... so keep trying! Who knows? You might win a life size teddy one day and get to cuddle it all you want :)

the black king, welcome back! :) This list has most of my fulfilled dreams and some of my dreams waiting to happen. I'm sure all of us have such a list. Dig out yours! Its loads of fun and I'm curious too :)

"its only the little pleasures that pull us through periods of darkness."

Absolutely, at times, these little things subconsciously drive us and keep us smiling throughout a day...

I guess, most of us would be glad if at least any 2 in these 50 happens to us every day. that would be excellent!!

Shiva, thanks! yup! even if one of them happens daily, then we'll forget the drudgery of life. But then, these things will also lose their charm if they happened daily right? So, life happens as it happens for some reason. :)
