The Bliss List

Mani and I were discussing about the list of activities/things which brought ultimate satisfaction/bliss to us. Thought of posting those in this post. What a turnover from my last post where I have cribbed about that void feeling. Within a week, life seems bright !

Here is the list !
a. A Good Day's meal at Karu's or Komala's or at Khansama. You should have felt the hunger and desperation for a good/decent meal. We have been experiencing this quite often these days!
b. A wonderful tea with hot Pakoras and a fast paced novel/cricket match. Even chatting with friends bhi chalega. The chai should be real hot with tinge of ginger and elaichi in it .. Wah wah...
Add Sutta to the above list for Mani.
c. After playing/jogging taking a good hot shower ! This rejuvenates your entire body and soul. Water has such an effect on the body and the mind.. Just too good.
d. A good night sleep. Man, this what we all die for. Sleep at 10 and wake up at 6. You dont feel that tiredness and you just want to start the day with full josh... This is bliss in many sense.
e. Listening to your favourite band. When you are all alone, just pump up the volume and let the Doors knock !!!!!! Raja, SPB, Kishore, Rafi are also in the list. For Mani, it is ARR intead of Raja.
f. Vodka, Vodka, Vodka.. Get yourself totally knocked out.....This is exclusively for Mani.
g. When you see a child smiling and playing. This is one of my favourite past times when I travel in the MRT. The kids are so cute and man ....their smiles!... It makes me feel so light..
h. Taking a piss ! Imagine that urge getting built and you are in an important meeting where you cant take a break or you are struck in the MRT and you need close to an hour to reach the nearest toilet. How does that feel for Bliss ??
i. A wonderful movie with some terrific performances... Scent of a Woman/ Godfather/ Shawshank Redemption ...... Lots of these.........
j. Just letting your jaws drop on seeing a beautiful giggling damsel cross you !!!!!!!!!!! Hmm ..is this desperation ??? someways it is bliss too !! what say ?
k. Going to a new place where you have never been.... Nature abound... Mountains, Waterfalls, Sunrise, Sunset, Beaches etc....Where you get yourself immersed with nature !

There is one more thing which we discussed, but would like to defer that. We are not yet married to describe the same. Probably after a year :)

If you feel there are other things which we have missed out, go ahead and post them as your comments.

Oh damn! Indeed a sharp U-Turn from your last post..which I read just before coming to this post.

This is a comprehensive list of the blisses a man can think of (i.e.human-beings falling the normal to just-normal range)..covering most of the seven sins. What more can i say..you just seem have put your heart into this post. Keep it up and keep posting lah..!!

You've forgotten quite a many "innocent joys" of being in NTU...
- stroll with genghis on ntu campus
- dinner in can 11 with Arsi
- attending lecture of Guppi
- ordering lunch to Can A Aunty
- dada's narrative of his contacts
- waiting for a cab on fri. eve
- Rose's lecherous looks
i'm sure others can add to this list of joys too.
