I was just pondering on what brings a smile on my face, apart from the usual joking around with friends, teasing, poking fun, material pleasures the following are some of the things which lit my face up :
A baby elephant nuzzling against its mother.
The sight of my dog running towards me , wagging her scruffy tail everytime she sees me.
Walking in a garden ,smelling the mud after the first showers of rain.
Watching the rain lashing against the car window while going on a long drive.
Looking at drops of morning dew on a green-leaf of a flowering plant.
A small but memorable gift from a loved one.
Coming home after a long vacation
Conversing with my 7 year old cousin.
Smell of home-cooked food after a long time.
My baby nephew clutching my finger tightly when I carry him around.
Meeting an old friend after a long gap.
Chatting about childhood memories.
The sunrise on a beach.
Staring at the ocean come alive at night.
Watching the reflection of moonlight in a waterbody.
A surprise visit by a loved one.
The sight of a rainbow on a field
A farmer drenched in sweat eating his hard-earned meal.
Children running out from school as the final bell rings.
Ticking off any item from my list of 'things to do before i die'
