Happiness

Early morning silence

A walk in the hills, soaking in the valley view

A whiff of fresh mountain air, that invariably carries with it, the mesmerising fragrance of Pine or Eucalyptus

The deep blue of the unending sea, stretching as far as my eyes can see

A walk in the rain, around the lake, with only tall trees for company

A silent bus ride with strangers, giving me a hint into lives I’d never know of, otherwise

The sound of 2 pairs of little feet running into my home

Conversations with people who matter

Visuals of a city the city I love

Amma’s rasam, potato curry, kesari, tomato fry, bisi bele bath… actually, pretty much anything she cooks

Reflections with Rashmi

The silence that descends when I am with Nature

Cheese, and more cheese

A long-awaited email

Reconnecting with people I once knew like the back of my palm

The sound of rain, the fragrance of petrichor, the sight of all that’s in front of me slowly turning into nothing but a sheet of drops… everything rain

Drawing on the blackboard, with two very-excited toddlers appreciating my ‘art’

A well-written book that transports me to magical worlds of escape

A long drive, with the wind hitting my face

Hugs and kisses

Plans that work

Windows with a view to die live for

The sound of the twins’ laughter

AR Rahman’s music

Photographs that take me back in time

Being able to forgive and let go

10,000 steps

The Good Place (on Netflix)

Slights that I brush away

A flower show that is a riot of colours

A long streak on my language-learning app

The satisfaction of having healed

Lucifer with Rashmi (watching it alone is just not the same!)

The warmth of being wrapped in a saree

Being called ‘Chithi’, ‘Shithi’…

A productive day

Memories that make me smile

Knowing I have come a long way

Late night banter with Amma

Feeling secure in my haven

Hope for the future

A deep sense of gratitude for all that I have today

Sights of the Orange Robe and Curly Hair

Silent prayers before the night ends

A good night’s sleep

Death has been pulling the rug out from under our feet. I’ve been wondering if writing about this would help...
