100 yellow ribbons

"Girls in white dresses with blue satin shashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eye lashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog barks
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel.. so sad..."

- Maria - Sound of Music

My favorite things, moments of joy..

The rise and fall of your palm when placed on a baby’s sleeping back
The taste of heady French wine
The burst of exotic spices and aroma during a well cooked meal
Hot water in the shower
Orange, lavender, white, brown, red, azure and green
Monopoly and Pictionary
The soft cushion which puts you to sleep
Orange slush and Kala Khatta
An infants, uncaring and endearing toothless laugh
Autumn maple leaves
Oriental lilies aur Mogre ke phool
Walks under a starry sky
Hot steaming Tibetan Momos
An early morning jog through Central Park
The smell of grass after the rain
An unexpected greeting card
Garfield's laziness
A melting cone of ice-cream
The faith of a pilgrim
Starbucks, Java chip fraappuccino with an extra shot of peppermint
Rustling leaves in the light evening breeze
Lemon sorbet
The peace of someone’s exhausted slumber
The winter fog
Tears that come when you meet your God
A kite that finds its’ freedom from the clutches of a string
Bhel Puri aur sadak ke puchke
Cold water on a hot summer day
A day at the beach
The bells that toll in a church
Badminton
A two hour “stroll” through Barnes and Noble
Window shopping
The first monsoon shower
Dew drops on the petals of a rose
The window which lets in fresh air and keeps out the rain water

The sound of silence..
