You sure these are just a 'few' of your favourite things? Look like a helluva lot to me....
@ sid
The title was 'inspired' from a famous song from the Sound of Music. And, well, I started off with a "few" things [as in the song], but, by the end, the list was a bit too long! :D
Long list :D but quite exhaustive I guess ... lol! Looks like quite a few of your favorite things can be enjoyed everyday. Have fun!
@ram
Thank you!! In fact, it is the small pleasures of life which make my day happy, inspite of workloads , deadlines etc :)
Loved the smell & feel of a girls' hostel.. realized it when I came around in IIT. The uni-spirited dressing up, gup-shup, indulging in a self conceited belief of being a go-getter, letting down all you defenses and believing in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, being yourself ALL the time.. I had a lovely time babe. Thanks!!
PS: not sure if this is the right place to say thanks ;) but who cares!
Well as far as this posts goes, we have so much in common! I will write to you about my Mahabalipuram trip. Can't wait till I fix the net at home and upload the pics.
@ suma
You are welcome any day , darling! I , to, love the hostel. It's definitely a home away from home. The kind of bonds you develop here are much more stronger than one can ever imagine.
