Interest > Principal

To see how human being loves the interest more than the principal amount i.e. how grand parents love their grand children so much more than the children themselves, makes me happy!!

Grandparents are truly special & most adorable & this bond is a huge source of happiness. God Bless them all !!

Come, share my true happiness - let's shake a leg!!

Hairy Tale

I feel happy when my hair looks good- beautiful, healthy & shining :) & I find the smell of just-shampooed hair so pleasant. Those who are born with gorgeous locks are really lucky & the rest like me can always try to make it feel & look good. Join the club!!

Lazying Around

Leading a life not dictated by a 'need' to work to earn a living makes me happy. I should only work if I want to & not because I need to. Being at home & lazying around can also be fun, for me at least :P Oh my dear Lord, do something; how about just sending me a filthy rich husband who can keep me happy like this forever..lolz

P.S. Now, I know that you know & are feeling tempted to tell me that laziness is not good or not right but here we are only talking of all the things that are capable of making me happy(good or bad/ right or wrong).

Man's Best Friend

One thing that really makes me happy is when a dog comes running to me, wags its tail, seems so much in love with me, jumps over me, plays with me, licks my face, looks at me with those innocent eyes requesting for a belly rub or a biscuit...awww, my sweetheart babies, they shower unconditional love all the time unlike humans. We had one but she's no more.. We truly miss you darling Pepsi!! If I were to be born again, I'd want to be a dog adopted by my own existing family [no studies, no stress about job/relationships & assured royal treatment :P]. My mom, dad, brother are such dog lovers & unimaginably kind souls.

By the way, someone's said "The more I get to know humans, the more I like dogs" :D

Smile & Be Happy

Sharing a smile with a complete stranger in a crowded market, a queue for tickets, in a bank or while I am out for a walk or grocery shopping, adds a happy flavor to my life. It's always so good to may be just smile at those people who exude such warmth & goodness & try & reciprocate. It makes my day & I hope theirs too :)

Merry-Go-Round

I feel happy going down the memory lane where I once again get to become a li'l child & ride the merry-go-round. By the way, who says that you've got to be a kid to enjoy the ride? I just did it last year :P

Like Mother, Like Daughter

Speaking the same word/ phrase/ sentence as my mom in the same tone at the very same time makes me quite happy as it's a reiteration of the fact that I am very much an inseparable part of her & that the umbilical cord is still intact. She being the quintessential woman in all ways, looking at myself inching closer to being like her with every passing day is a very happy feeling indeed :)

A Relaxing Massage

I feel happy receiving a body massage or if I'm short on time, then at least a head massage so much that I completely lose count of time while the poor masseur/ masseuse waits for me to say "That'll be all !!" :)

Hug Department - Open 24 X 7

Someone's said:

A hug delights and warms and charms,
that must be why God gave us arms.

And I couldn't agree more. A tight, genuine hug gives me immense happiness. And let me just say:

I will not play at tug o' war
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs....

~Shel Silverstein

HUG for me, stands for "Happiness and Utter Gaiety".

I am passing on a bear hug to you & you better not be a Scrooge, OK?

Eskimo Kiss

Eskimo Kiss makes me very happy indeed. I love rubbing my nose with little kids who participate wholeheartedly in this merriment. I also do it to Mommy who gets sooooo irritated when I rub my cold freezing nose against hers in spine chilling winters :) but it's such a pleasure!!! Sorry Mommy but you know I'll always be your little girl doing these silly little things that make us both laugh our heart out.

Mommy's Touch

Simply lying down quietly like a little girl, placing my head in my mom's lap & asking her to put her hand on my eyes makes me happy :)

A Relaxed Cup of Coffee

Sitting across a table, enjoying a cup of cold coffee (I am allergic to the hot coffee) with just the appropriate sugar & communicating (not just talking) with another soul, to both our heart's content, without the fear of being judged or exploited, is happiness for me. Better still, if the conversation includes a dash of few kind adjectives for me, Who minds? :P I am sure no girl would at least :)
