Happiness is ....

A - A dew drop glistening in the morning sun
I actually love my apple ipod also (have only the pod and wish to have the pad soon - anyone looking for a gift with a big budget.... Pls pay attention !!! :D).... but seriously, love it when the ipod plays a nice song all of a sudden on a day when i am gloomy...
(On my way to work on a gloomy monday (i think) morning and bang... i hear "pretty woman, walking down the street .... pretty woman..." That's all i needed and i was dancing through the rest of my way then... :D

B - baby's laughter - that gurgle, that toothless smile for no reason, coming out of the blue, it stays etched in your mind and makes you smile too...
A butterfly's flutter and
books...
and beach side escapades - Imagine sitting by the beach long after sunset, listening to waves, feeling them lapping at your feet, glistening stars over head and fabulous company !!! Ok this is becoming a long list already... But.. must do it sometime... sometime.... sigh ... !!

C - Chocolate - warm and melting and hot, strong coffee !! Ummm ......
Ooops, I forgot to add cakes and pastries (chocolate) and cocoa ... too many, eh ? I have a sweet tooth... A few indulgences, a few comfort foods... help you get out of a rough day with a smile on your face...

D - Driving with the wind in your hair, would actually prefer riding a bike... its fun to feel the speed and hear the wind whisper in your ear.... some good company would be an add on...

E - an elegant sentence, a witty repartee, a quick response, a double negative, a complicated phrase and god knows what - all understood silently, unquestioningly, all within friends !!! Lovely...

F - Freedom, to do anything and everything under the sun

G - Girl's night out, chatting about everything and anything under the sun with maggi and chips for company.... preferably on the terrace with a full moon... (and no mosquitoes of course - just realized that I can't seem to stop getting practical even in my wish list... Tooooo much)

H - Home - a place to cherish and celebrate, for being with your loved ones, to be your self in the whole wide world, its your place under the sun !!!

I - Ice cream with lots of nuts and chocolate sauce

J - A witty Joke and the splitting laughter that follows... love that pain in the stomach after a hearty laugh... phew.. tiring but soooo much fun... !!!!

K - Kites, brilliant hued flying in a clear blue sky, as if with a mind of their own....

L - Letters in your name, seems like a lifetime ago but i have written and received letters and they used to make my day...!!! Tiny packets of love and memories traveling all the way just for U....

M - Movies with fairy tale endings - you know they are not true and that they will never happen - but what's wrong in loving them for that brief moment, when everything seems possible... !!
Music - to make you dance in the middle of the street, to share your nights after a hard day, to swing and jive with you and to walk with you...

N - This is actually giving me a lot of trouble... What do I like with an N ? News.. ? nah .... i miss my newspaper but it doesn't make me happy... does the opposite in fact...
Then what ?
I guess, i'll just stick my head out with 'Nice food'... umm... okieee ... Bad attempt but thats all i can come up with when i haven't eaten in some 6 odd hours...
So, 'nice food' it is... can think of pastas and salads, garlic breads and croissants, and the best part of a nice meal... Desserts !!! Yippeee....

(PS -I am so glad I got through N some how... would have almost entered into another writers block - the very thing i was trying to avoid... phew !!! )

Hah... now its O... !!!

O - Okie... Old friends meeting up after long with loads of tales to tell and stories to share... that's happiness right.... ? Especially when you can take off from where you left off, like there was never a break.... !!
Old houses with tales of the past, stories of their own... its like they have a life of their own and we are only passersby...

P - Photographs - of strangers and loved ones, of places and things, of parts of you and the world, of moments frozen in time, captured through your eyes, for yours to cherish forever and forever...

Q - Interesting "Questions" and the answers for them... love thinking !!! Actually the innocent questions from kids are hilarious too.... Imagine hearing someone asking you the difference between ride and drive... ? (This one of course is not from a kid but from someone who is preparing for the time when her kids ask her this... talk about being prepared in life... :D) I wish my kids never ask me this or such questions.... :)

R - Romance and love - to last through the silence and the noise, through the highs and the lows, through the joys and the sorrows, through fights and disappointments, through anger and resentment, through everything in life, till the end of time... there is a romantic in me underneath the steely exterior... :)

S - Surprises, unexpected and full of joy, they are a manifestation of someone's love for you.... when you least expect it... !!!

T - Travel, all across the world with wonderful company.... I want to see the world and the people.... from the biggest tourist spots to the narrow by lanes ... all of it... Hopefully, it will be more than a dream someday...

U- Under a starlit sky, lying on the grass, chatting till the wee hours of morning, staying up for the sunrise and then having the freedom to sleep when the day breaks... O what a dream !!!

V - Valleys and mountains, hills and trees, flowers and bees...

W- Window ledge, sitting and reading a book with the pitter-patter outside and coffee in hand :)
Water - the sound of the water, the feel of water ... sometimes that's all you need !!

X - An X'mas tree all decked up, with the gifts lined around it and a happy family in the foreground... somehow, I have always loved christmas and the idea of how it is celebrated.. just gives this warm, cosy feeling in the pit of my stomach...

Y- yakk, yakk, yakking... its so much fun to hear your loved ones go yakking all the time... I can sit for ages with my head on someone's lap and listen to them yak...

Z - Zest for life, a zeal for the future...
Second option... ZZZZZZZZ.... blissful sleep with someone to hug and wonderful dreams to wake up with !!! :)
