God of small things

With no reference to any booker price winning novel ;), this article of mine is literally meant for those small things which we often overlook.........

Have you recently felt a cool breeze on your face till it leaves you numb (not for those in frezing weather ;))
Try it, its the best stress buster....







Have you ever tried synching the music you hear while travelling, with wheel rims of vehicles on road?
Try it you'll enjoy...

Have you felt a butterfly's wings on your hand?
If not, try this: take the back of your palm close to your eyes and blink a few times to feel your eyelashes on your hand; this is how a butterfly feels ;)

You have stepped on ice-cold water or tried massaging your foot with ice?
Try it, its a really nerve-tingling experience :P

Ever felt like humming the same song again and again throughout the day?Start a day with a song to keep it cheerful...

Have you recently admired a flower and its scent?

I love spontaneously pulling people to dance whenever a good song comes up....The steps that follow would be hilarious for sure...try it :P

Have you noticed children spinning round and round till they go dizzy? Try it, it'll give you a sudden high ;)













Tried eating hot bhajiyas on a rainy day?

Take some time out and observe the waves on a beach or fishes in a tank...
Try and drop a few leaves and flowers on a water pool and look at them float and move in random patterns...





Ever tried smiling at a clueless kid?If you randomly smile at a confused kid, the change of expression you would encounter would be hilarious!



Have you tried parasailing? No? Try this as a substitute: Think of the most beautiful ocean scene you can remember and then stand infront of an air-conditioner with your eyes tight shut; imagine you are sailing in air high above the oceans.......You can try this with scuba diving also ;)

Every time someone you love turns up at the doorstep give them a tight hug, they deserve it ;) ....


Think of a small and affordable inanimate object which you always wanted and which would add an invaluable experience.Get it/do it... (In my case it was my fav senheisser head phones :P)

When you are bored think of a humorous moment or a cartoon which you always cherished ...



And just when you feel lonely, go to a mirror and smile at yourself; I bet it would change the mood....



You may think all these are foolish and often insane...But insanity is human and so is divinity....
When you try remembering those small deeds and when you enjoy those small moments you live a life filled with drops of joy...Those golden threads among the dark fibers of the cloth of life.

  2. Nice thoughts. Pleasure is at small small things. We usually wait for the big moments and even when it comes, it pass quickly and since we have too much expectations for those bigger moments, most of the time we don't feel the real enjoyment.
