To make your day, All it takes is ...

What you need to make your day ?
There can be a zillion answers
Maybe, getting a promotion and a pay rise, or getting a praise from an unexpected quarter, or maybe getting your pay cheque on first of every month ... probably getting something you earned or you deserved!
... Or maybe, getting a call from an old friend ... just to have a chit chat!
... and few more such standard answers.

Or maybe, the answer lies in something extremely trivial

Like -
Watching a really funny poster on roadside
Eating an extremely spicy roadside chaat, and desperately asking for drinking water.
Or seeing a 6 year, class 1 kid smiling at you and in the process showing off his front teeth which aren't there.
Or cracking a really bad PJ and laughing for minutes together, and realizing that you are the only person who laughed ... and this making you laugh even more!
Or discovering that old chocolate lollipop in a store and relishing it!
Or reading an interesting line in a newspaper article.
Or listening to an old Kishore Kumar song after long.
Or radio playing "O Humdum Suniyo re ..." song while you are cruising on your bike.
... and many other such trivial things!

As they say, It is simple things in life that are most extraordinary.
At times, it seems so true ... but we often fail to realize it!

Yet they may opt for a personal loan when faced with pressing need for money.

"On a break"

As mentioned in my previous post, of late I haven't been able to gather sufficient motivation or energy to make posts on this blog. Hence I am going on a self imposed exile from the blogosphere for some time. In other words I am "On a Break" This some time may last for few hours, few days or maybe few months. It depends upon when one fine day I gather sufficient motivation to type what is there inside my head and post things on the blog!!! Hoping to get alive soon on this blog! __ "Life is an infinite, non-converging exponential series of random irreversible screw ups of ever increasing magnitudes one after another "
