I hate buying vegetables

This is one thing I hate really!! Why can't all people start eating chicken :)

Simple Thing #5: Drinking/Licking left over spicy lemon juice of salad

This one is really one of my all time favorite simple thing that makes me really happy :))

I don't know whether you have tried it or not but after eating all the salad there is always some juices left in the salad plate. That juice is mainly lemon juice with salt, pepper, chaat masala, red chilly power and few other Indian spices. Salad can be made with fruits or vegetables. Like in summers I love having cucumber or kakdi salad and the left over juice is just too tasty to waste. I always drink that juice till the last drop and thats not all. I even lick the plate!! Yes I do that and I LOVE IT!!

I would never do that at anyone else's home :)

Simple and yet it makes me so happy.

Simple Thing #4: Getting a seat in Delhi Metro

No it is not a small thing to get a seat in metro. Today I am going to model town from iffco chowk. The longest route of 1: 30 hrs and I got a seat!! Yes now I can sit here and relax. The AC in the metro really helps in delhi summers.

I am sure you will have something similar to share.

Simple Thing #3: A Phone call can change your day

You must have listened to the popular song by Dido - Thank You.

Trying to remember the best days of my life

I am trying to recollect and make a list of the best days ever in my life. Why I am doing this? I just want to figure about what things make me feel good.

Well these items are not in any particular order. These are just random.

1. Getting selected in engineering entrance exam. I still remeber my father came home and I was watching movie "Mast" at that time.

2. Getting selected in IISc Bangalore.

3. Getting selected in IIT Delhi.

4. The day I opened my own office last year.

5. The day I got my first job in college.

6. The day I passed Class Xth.

7. The day I got into Science Stream.

8. The day I passed Class XIIth (yeah yeah for me it was big thing).

9. The day I first bought my cycle.

10. The day I got married.

Simple Thing #2: Playing squash with table tennis ball all alone!!

I am the only child of my parents. People have always asked me "How do you stay all alone at house without any siblings??" Well I don't know the answer, I am just used to it. I always knew that I have no one to play with so I invented ways to kill time and play all alone. It is not that difficult actually.

Simple Thing #1: Working or studying in open

I remember I was small kid, must be around 7 or 8 year old and I used to love going to our local park with my father. We usually used to go there for walks or playing but sometimes I used to go there for study also. I remember well how I used to sit of the grass and pretend that I am reading book. Instead I was more interested in the natural beauty and the other activities happening around me.

"Plucking the grass and gathering it"

"Watching the birds for hours"

"Observing the people in the park"

"Listening to the sound of trees in the wind"

"Digging soil with fingers"

"Watching the ants"

MM public school - revisited after 14 years!!

The year was 1997 and almost same time of the year. It was march and I was in tenth standard and our tenth board exams were going on!! It was really horrible time especially for people like me. Our exam center was MM public school, I have posted the pic here. The school was small with only single floor. I came here today after 14 years and the school now has big fancy building. Just like any other private school of delhi.

Some things are never forgotten!

Everyday and every moment brings back old memories

I have this weird problem. I used to think that it is a gift but not anymore. May be many others experience this. Let me know if it happens to you too? I have very very very good memory!!! I remember almost everything that has every happened in my life (except the studies). I even remember the dates, time, weather, feeling, clothes, news related to that memory. There must be many people who have good memory but those memories just keep popping up in my mind every moment of my life. Like right now while I am typing, memories are flashing across in my mind.

I can see an ant crawling on the wall and my mind has already processed lot of things related to ants stored in my mind. It is like a tag cloud which is always moving in my head.
