Clarissa had tagged me ages ago to list 10 things that make me happy.
1. Books, books, and more books. The more the books, the happier I am. It's a direct correlation.
2. Test and One-day cricket. Especially when it gets competitive.
3. Learning. Whether it's psychology or just trivia...learning something new makes me happy.
4. The beach. I cannot be angry or unhappy at the beach. The water, the skies, the sand...the whole package has a very calming and relaxing effect on me. Resulting in happiness.
5. Having the unit to myself. Yes, I am easily pleased.
6. A trip to the Dendy for a great movie. Or for that matter, a trip into Newtown. I love Newtown and all the second-hand bookstores and the two amazing Indian restaurants out there.
7. Beer. Cold beer. Cold tap beer. Makes me very, very happy.
8. Good food.
9. Political incorrectness. Whether it's on the telly or with friends or at work. Political incorrectness makes me laugh which in turn makes me happy.
10. Driving in the car with the radio playing good songs. (Triple M or Vega)
So there you go...some things that make me happy. There are others not mentioned but talking to family and friends also makes me happy.
What about you? Can you list 10 things that make you happy??
Go ahead...and take this tag if you can!
Until next time,
Cheers!!!

ReplyDeleteyay..now blogger has the feature too, eh? Nice!
ReplyDeleteYes Nu...you were first!! :) And yeah, if you go to the Disqus website and sign up, you can use their commenting system in blogger. Now there's no need to change to WP! :D
ReplyDeleteNo Titaxy...blogger doesn't have it yet...it's through a commenting system
ReplyDeletecalled Disqus which you can use instead of Blogger's commenting system and
we could import all the previous comments and they remain in sync. So yay!!
I like the threaded comments!!
