The best things in Life…
“The best things in life are not things.” -Author Unknown.
Came across this quote yesterday. I couldn’t have agreed more. In the kind of lives that we lead today, it’s easy to overlook that life is more than just acquiring the latest cell phone or the next promotion at office. Life is a journey that would hold true meaning only if we pay attention to the marvels that are often present right in front of us. How often do we smile? How often do we make someone smile? How often do we say “I love you” to the people we cherish? When was the last time you did something you absolutely adore? Life can be cruel, but it can be fun too! A whole lotta fun when you spend time with the best things in your life. What do you think are the best according to you? I am enlisting some (in no particular order) :
- Family
- Mother’s love
- Dancing to your favorite music when you are alone at home
- Falling in luv
- Getting flowers from someone
- Unexpected rain
- Getting a genuine compliment
- Giving someone a genuine compliment and making them smile
- Getting a call after years from an old friend
- Luving someone more than yourself
- Laughing hard for no reason!
- Laughing at yourself
- A good conversation
- A shoulder to cry on
- Having a friend who would listen to you bawl and still not cringe
- Chocolate
- Someone telling you that you’re beautiful
- Having a song that makes you cry when you want to let it out
- Getting butterflies in your stomach every time you see that special one
- Being appreciated for who you are
- An unexpected peck on the cheek from your loved ones
- Hugging the person you love.
- Giving someone a gift that they adore
- Having friends who make you laugh
- Going through old photographs
- Making a child laugh
Got something you’d like to add?

Hey neha…this article changed my vision…
For me i guess living life on your own terms without hurting anyone in anyway.So that If we meet someone ,we can talk looking straight into the eyes,without any feeling of guilt or remorse.
Well written..

~ Looking at night sky with the full moon
~ Looking at goldfish swim in your aquarium (ya I have one
~ Walking with ‘the one’ on a summer evening
~ Wishing your friends “Happy B’Day” right at midnight
~ Trying to play a game after many years, and realizing that u still remember how to play

Fighting with friends for samosa’s and gobbling them hot hot and hottest…
Driving bicycle in the rains… in puddles..
Plucking mangoes from the neighbours tree… !!

Oh… talking of samosas, in our school, we used to eat the samosas by doing a “post-mortem” of them..hehe . Thats what we called it. We used to take out the aalu and eat only the outer part.

Plucking mangoes…never did that. But we used to pluck khajoor and litchi!!
