- A virtual hug (or several). I felt each one....and here are some thank yous coming your way...{HUGG}........
- A knock on the door. A friendly face and tea&chatter. Over the dirty kitchen island. A real hug, the perfect complement to the virtual ones.
- Knowing that the dirty countertop won't announce it's presence. Not in this conversation. Not with that friendly face.(It may niggle in the back of your* brain, but who says you're right anyway?) (*and by "your" here, I mean ME and my brain).
- Music in the kitchen.
- Bread on the rise.
- Your kind words, and how they brighten even the gloomiest of November skies.
- Your lovely posts, you inspire me!
- Diving into a bag of mirchi chips. (Never mind the consequences!!!!)
- Happiness is......

Now I need my bag of chips. Sweet post. Hopping over to check out the 3 blogs that inspired you.
ReplyDeleteOh, glad you liked the book! And Duncan's rock-starish looks don't hurt either, eh?
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post--the fundamentals are indeed friendship, bread, music, and books. And may our risks be as pleasantly dangerous as Mirchi chips.

@Nisha: Yup, those masala chips will do it every time!
Welcome back :)
ReplyDeleteHey happy you :):)
ReplyDeleteFor me, I am a firm believer of truisms like- You happy, I happy. Don't worry, be happy. Laugh and be happy :). Simple things in life makes me happy. Yes, it has taken me a while to realise for myself that happiness is not a complicated process. :):):) Just don't let anyone or anything get in the way of that.
ur happy and so am I...love hugs laksh
