Things I am Happy about Today

I was thinking today (yes, I can think)—why not pen down my little nothings each day from the day that was? I surely had many versatile experiences throughout today, but at the end of it all what I would like to really savour and document from these wide-ranging thoughts and actions are the happy sweet nothings. Aptly so, since this is a happinezz magazine and "Frowns and Long Faces are Not Allowed." (OK I borrowed and tweaked that a little to suit my purpose)

So here goes my first post in an upcoming series of

things i am happy about today...

• my brother is safe and sound. no seriously, did you hear of the Austin plane crash? it happened half a mile away from his office, while he was probably happily typing away at his computer

• discovery of a pack of a new cereal variety—apple jacks—it tastes yum! so what if I borrowed some of those from Vihaan’s stock? :P

• that 30 minutes ago i was animatedly planning a business venture with an old friend and feeling the feverish rush of childlike excitement pulse through me once again

•  goodreads—a dear friend suggested it and now i can actually take stock of my so-called literary pursuits

• in the dark, watching the glowing light from all the electronics in my room

• overindulgence in coffee and cinnamon biscuits—that’s my version of devil's food aka the midnight snack

• sambhar chawal for dinner—maa ke haath ka khana

So pick up your pens (rather grab your keyboards) and tell me what are you happy about today...
