Crafts, leisure and happiness

The rain, the sea, flowers, autumn, spring, summer, coloring books, books, running babies that have just learnt to walk, drooling babies, potpourri, lights, candles, watching the rain, snow, babies, me, friends, toys, lakes, rivers, mountains, sunsets, long drives, long drives in the rain, music, ginger-tea, paint, colors, stacks of towels, stacks of yarn, green lawns, puppies, kittens, wrapping paper, receiving packages in the mail, the Sunday morning extended ginger-tea-time in bed looking out at our tree from the window, the leaves on the road in fall, watching the rain in Bangalore, a summer afternoon at home in Bangalore reading the Sunday Times with the musical background of the street vendors' voices outside, Vishu and me sitting quietly engrossed in our own thoughts in the living room, an intense game of risk with my friends, emails from friends, ingredient listings on the back of grocery cartons, milk, chips, chocolate, chocolate ice-cream, chocolate fantasy at Coffee Day
