SMALL THINGS

A phone call from your long-lost-one-time-best-friend; a piece of cadbury’s dairy milk; a bear hug from a loved one in times of distress; running into your school teacher on the road and knowing that she still remembers you and still loves you and cares for you just as much even after all these years; spending an entire day lazing around at home in your favorite pyjamas and Dad’s oversized t-shirt, doing absolutely nothing; a long, hot water bath; coming across your favorite movie on HBO while randomly flipping channels; making it to class on time when you expected to be thrown out; watching the sunset hand-in hand with that special person; trying on a pair of jeans which are a size smaller than usual and finding that they fit; an afternoon nap; hours of leisurely reading; isn’t it these freebies that bring you a glimpse of heaven and fill you up with so much more happiness than the ‘expensive’ things can ever buy? If you think so too, then we are some lucky people.
