When I feel the first waft of the cool morning breeze during my morning walk while listening to Pavarotti,Beethoven and Balamurali …
When I walk through the morning drizzle feeling the fresh air embrace all parts of my being….
When the little bit of chocolate cake dipped in chocolate sauce at Coffeday slips slowly on my vibrant palate to dissolve into my stomach….
When I see my grandfather glow in love as I read my grandma’s last love letter to him ( he had lost his eyesight recently) ..
When I first felt the rosy palm of my newborn niece….and bundled her up to draw her close to me…
When I saw the joyous dimple on my nephew’s cheeks when he first learnt how to hold the cricket bat and hit the ball...
When my mother puts her warm, selfless and comforting palm on my fevered brow while I’m sick…
When I catch the gleam in my student’s eye as I complete explaining the Johari Window...
When I experience my Aha (eureka) moments after I crack the data-triangulation code following a long incubation of thought….
When I debate Plato, Nietzsche and Dahlia Lithwick with my peers and teachers….
When I share the goof-ups of the day with my bosom friend during our evening closing chat…
And finally, at the end of the day, when I sit at my altar thanking Him for all such little joys in life…
Who says only accolades, trophies and achievements alone make life worth living??
