The joy of small things...

Sometimes, it's the simple pleasures in life that matter. A bug in your code that you fixed. The new shirt that you look good in. That pat on the back from your boss. That thought provoking movie you saw. That funny comic you read. The bombay chutney sandwich that tasted so yum! That shy smile from a cutie. That neat blog post you made! The affectionate hug from your mum. The pride in your dad's voice when you tell him you have started making six figures. The sexy, invigorating masala chai that your friend's wife makes. The radiance on a kid's face when he's given an extra large ice cream cone. That familiar alcohol induced buzz on a Saturday night. The hole in one you made or the sixer that you hit. That stupendous view of the sun setting beyond the mountains....so on and so forth.

So, the next time you experience one of these (& many more) - rejoice, celebrate, give a high five, smile, laugh, feel happy, punch the air, whatever. Enjoy the moment!

Cheers!

Stern - No! :)

Areille - It's a vicious cycle (in the best possible way).
When A makes B happy with thought, word or action, B's expression of happiness makes A happy!

The vicious cycle comment reminds me of this (airlines?) ad soundtrack: "happiness runs in a circular motion".

Nice post, wittiman chatterjee.

Confucius say, witty's blog like mildly toasted teddy bear. warm and fuzzy. :)
