Easy Joy

Yes, plain satisfaction you dig up from the simple things. I will not say they are precious or rare because they are always with me. The sorrow is exceptional and expensive, but today it’s about simple pleasure.

I am not a stuffed shirt; my kernel is non-preemptive still I am able to cut the mustard. Today it’s essential to share my buoyant energy.

Idea of noting down my simple pleasures list, provoked by www.43things.com and somebody’s homepage.

So here it is:

To become conscious about things you have done right, no matter how shoddily it hurts. Ok Ok Ok I will try to post simple pleasures.

 Finding a good old friend after way too long and wondering what might have been… …..(up to this ..Its pleasure!)
 Being somebody important in someone else’s life.

The realization that it’s tolerable to be me and not giving a damn what others consider or articulate or believe about me breaking the hackneyed constrains, I better become mold of my own.

Where is there a wretch?
So wicked and loathsome as I;
I have forsaken my Maker;
So faithless have I been.

-Surdas.
