Simplicity

Sipping a cup of tea, listening to modern Bengali songs and working.. with the wind caressing my cheeks there is this feeling of well being which I always look forward to.

I have this calendar of a very naughty puppy who is looking at me with such mischievous eyes that I feel like doing something really childlike like skipping and fly with my arms wide.. And I did see that whenever I wanted to feel like a child, my best way to access that state is to spread my arms wide and run around pretending to fly. And I did that while we were on a team building activity.. I hope my colleagues did not notice it.

Have you wondered what makes you go back to being a child.. ??

I can remember so many things now that I contemplate..

Swinging fast on a swing makes me go back to free thinking with no stress..

Having a tamarind sweet reminds me of the time, when while returning from school, we used to make a beeline for the sweet and sour tamarind which used to put the zing in our being as we walked back home..

That is another key I access when I want to feel happy and free from this adult life.. temporarily of course..
