I am tired of reading depressing front page news –of corrupt politicians and racism. Some part of country facing drought and other’s facing floods. Of helpless senior citizens being murdered in their homes and children fighting over college admissions.
I am tired of the daily grind. All of us pushing and shoving to reach the finishing line in this rat race of life. Semesters passing by and so the college life. Scowling into computer screens . I need a break from it all. I think we all do.
I make a list of some very tiny stuffs that bring joy…maybe for an instant though. Some ravishing things you would love to do. For the next few minutes, forget those big dreams you are chasing. Let’s unearth the hedonism in you. Let’s revel instead, in some small moments that bring us joy. Here are they(with no particular order):
Small acts of kindness can actually make you feel like a good person. We all smile in the same language. It costs us nothing. Sometimes, we get so tired of our life’s burdens that we forget how a good smile feels. So, lift your spirits up and find something small that makes you happy . And SMILE.
- Listening to the beautiful melody of the flute seller on Sunday mornings.
- Eating a chocolate at anytime you feel(only if you are not dieting)- rain or shine, day or night, happy or sad.
- Buying flowers for no reasons at all.
- Watching the unabandoned , dancing of street children when a wedding procession goes by.
- Singing along loudly to any of your favourite song, while your headphones on.
- Babies-their smell, their smile, their yawn, their toes.
- A soft pillow and a freshly laundered bed sheet.
- Watching an elderly couple having a stroll down the moonlight.
- Finding a forgotten 100 rupee note in your back pocket.
- Giving a beggar something very good to eat.
- Passing a smile to a stranger and receiving back the same.
Small acts of kindness can actually make you feel like a good person. We all smile in the same language. It costs us nothing. Sometimes, we get so tired of our life’s burdens that we forget how a good smile feels. So, lift your spirits up and find something small that makes you happy . And SMILE.
