Its funny how easy it is to get sucked into being materialistic in the world today, with the up-to-the-moment expensive toys , gizmos, collectibles screaming for our attention!! Have the “Best-things-in-life-are-free” days gone away?? So I decided to write down my list of the ‘simple pleasures’ of life to prove that the best things in life are indeed free…errr.. or atleast inexepensive
)
The list randomly goes as-
- Sitting on the beach with my toes buried in the sand, watching the waves hit against the shore
- Lying on the soft green grass of a recently mowed lawn
- Gazing at the stars
- Catching the different patterns clouds tend to make in the sky
- Going for a long walk on a quiet street when everyone else is asleep
- Standing by the doorway on a moving train, enjoying the wind caress your hair
- Having ‘chaat’ with your friends in those little stalls by the beach side
- Talking the night away with your buddies leaning against parked cars in your neighborhood
- Swinging on the porch
- Having a ‘make over’ day with your girl friends
- Sleepovers!!!
) - Karaoke Nights
- Turning on your stereo real loud and dancing away
- Cooking with your friends
- Having a heart-to-heart conversation with a 4 year old
- Going biking with friends on a cool summers day
- An evening spent with close ones just traveling down memories lane
- Sleeping

) - Having ‘garma garam’ pakodas along with ‘cutting chai‘ (tea) on a rainy day

- Bumping into a long lost friend out of the blue, and catching up on each others lives over a cup of coffee
