It’s been quiet in this corner of the web lately. I have been quite busy and actually pretty lazy about posting something on my blog. Inspiration has been eluding me and so has time (though the part about time is just an excuse). But I am back, and I am alive!!!

Is Life hectic or do we make it so? Life becomes so mundane and mechanical after sometime……it is left to us to make it interesting and having a blast with Life!!! After all, Life is all about what we make it and I choose to make it wonderful and BEAUTIFUL!!! People always strive and work really hard for big goals in life, which I totally get is really important for a person, but in the process we forget to really enjoy the “simple pleasures” of life. I truly believe that it is the small things that matter the most. In this blog I am putting forth my list of “simple pleasures”, maybe you can comment and state some more that I might have missed..........Here goes:

1. A perfect cup of coffee
2. Sleeping in without feeling guilty about it
3. Feeling the wind in my hair as I zip by in my Nova (my 2 wheeler)
4. Walking in the beach with the waves lapping at my feet
5. Conversation with my best friend over a cup of perfect coffee

8. Getting flowers and small presents for no reason at all
