Simple Pleasures

- Rediscovering an old song you once loved.
- Falling in love with a new song.
- Falling in love.
- Impulsive Kisses.
- Stolen Kisses.
- A sudden drizzle on a hot summer's day.
- Water fights on said summer's day.
- Someone running a comb down your back.
- Bus rides with friends.
- Bear hugs.
- Music on a long bus ride.
- Travelling at night.
- That last puff on a cigarette.
- Sleeping with your head on someone's lap.
- Good conversation.
- Feel good songs. Currently, Uncle Kracker's "Smile" and the Bee Gees' "Secret Love".
- Sales.
- The breeze in your hair.
- Holding hands and strolling lazily.
- Evening walks.
- Successfully completing a Sudoku puzzle, Crossword or two-decked Spider Solitaire 
- Watching mom and dad dancing on the kitchen floor.
- Joining in.
- The first puff of the day, heh.
- Loooong phone conversations.
- Making up after a fight.
- Books.
- Daisies!!

Too many!


Life is beautiful, innit?

Amen to all the points. And I love the first pic - the sailor kissing the young girl, the famous "V–J day in Times Square" photo. I read about it a few weeks ago (yeah I had never heard of it before)and was planning to put it up in some future post but I guess you beat me to it. But it totally is the right pic for this post.

hehe.. indeed..:)

Calliopia said...

Awwwww yes, what a lovely feel-good post. I'd add the sweet stanky breath of a fat little puppy, the happy chortle of a baby, climbing into a warmed up bed at the end of a long cold day..

ku2 said...

@Aduhi: You can always use the pic again, Lord knows, I dont have exclusive rights to it :D I really love it too.

@Cobtea: Indeedy do.

@Calliopia: Yes to all three! Once I started writing,I realized there were too many, and I had to stop :D

Si...beautiful indeed.

I'd say no to "The breeze in your hair" and "long phone conversation" though lol.

How's it going, dearie? Last week atrang khan hna ka thawk nasa lutuk a ka hmai te a bawl vek!!

Eveline said...

Ok, so not to miss the point of the post because it was a wonderful post and there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said by yourself, I have to ask -
What WAS the inspiration for this list? :)

Mizohican said...

Knowing that Mizoram beat Railways and hence have the same points as Railways, the same goal difference too, and yet qualify for the Pre Quarterfinal rounds because Mizoram scored 1 goal more than Railways did. Ahhhhhh such long distant simple pleasure!!!! :)

jay-me said...

yeah indulge indulge, in the simple "reminiscing" pleasure, its a healthy depressant heheh evil me na? sorry hehe truth is, this one actually takes me back to our "fooling around" days when all it takes was a bus ride to lighten our moods/ a few puffs on the footpath next to our college...ahhhh youth, who'd want to let it go??

ku2 said...

@Lucy: Doing great :) Nge i hmai bawl khop2 a hna an lo pek che aww...
How could you not love the wind in your hair? :(

@Eveline: Inspiration..umm..me googling that V-J Pic while listening to a song I love, with the breeze from an open window ruffling my hair :D

ku2 said...

@Illue: Yay to that, I guess. Germany trashing England AND Argentina was not a simple pleasure, btw, it was sheer exuberance :)

@Jamie: Bleh bleh bleh. Love you anyway, and no, dont get scared, I mean it platonically :D
Zactly, that last bus ride we had was one of the things I remembered. Kan thlalakah khan kan hmelchhe lutuka, ka post ngamlo :D
Synod-a kan inlak Commando, kawngsira thut mai2, 2nd hand lane a dive, scooty a inphura zai vak2, ka chhang thui bik lutuk dawn tlat che, baih

Jerusha said...

yes to all the points except (i) Sudoku (2) Solitaire (3) The parents dancing because I haven't seen them do it so I don't know what that's like. I'd put something like sleeping on fresh linen smelling of the sun, waking up with a wet doggy nose against your skin, and tiny baby fingers clutching your finger :)
