I like

Scribbler’s tag comes bang on time. A time, when I have been single mindedly digging on things I don’t like, cursing, cribbing, sulking and more on those lines. So, drawing up my laundry list on things I like seems like just what the shrink prescribed.

My – I likes:

1. I like it when I have a cuppa cha in my hands. The whole world seems a better place to live.
2. I like it better when someone makes the cuppa for me.
3. I like it best when it comes in a pot. (I must stop with the cha fixation)
4. I like to hear the click of the door knob, when Raj walks in at the end of my rather wasted day.
5. I like it when friends give surprise visits. Actually I like surprises of any kind. Mostly of the pleasant variety.
6. I like the warmth of my electric heater.
7. I like Bollywood. Anything and everything related to our Hindi fillum industry. SRK too…goes without saying.
8. I like the smell of detergent and fabric conditioner on my bed linen.
9. I like cooking an insane amount of food. Especially entrées for a party.
10. I like day dreaming about summer holidays spent in my village, Kanachchanda.
11. I like the feeling of scalding hot water on my skin in Sydney winters.
12. I like soaking in a hot tub with Srikanto singing in the background, and a nice little book in my hand. A beer by the side, makes the picture, perfect.
13. I like  conversations, laughter, mindless banter, with happy people.
14. I like cozying up on my sofa with white wine, a subtitled French film and Raj by me. The Pizza man should ideally be on his way with barbequed chicken pizza, garlic bread with cheese and jalapeños.
15. I like the joy I feel on discovering crumpled notes in my jeans pocket. Especially 100 buck ones.
16. I like chillies. Crisp, green, fresh chillies. when added in big numbers to my biriyani and curries, makes the dinner most gratifying.
17. I like arm chair travelling. It generally involves travelling to an exotic island with masseurs waiting at the airport to take you straight to the spa.
18. I like going through old emails from special some ones and laughing my backside off, at the endearments we called each other, at different point of our lives.
19. I like my ISD calls to ma.
20. I like listening to certain songs and thinking of memories associated with it.
21. I like it when Meeshu says- Tumi amaake aar love korona. (you don’t love me anymore). Mostly, when she wants a round of fussing and kissing.
22. I like watching couples hug. I always brings a happy tear to my eyes.
23. I like getting into my fitness gear, and taking those extremely rare walks by the bay.
24. I like the aroma of food in the evenings.
25. I like turning home into a pan patti, by playing songs from the 80’s and 90’s. Yesterday, there was an overdose of - ‘chehra kya dekhte ho, Dil mein utar kar dekho na’ and ‘chura ke dil mera goriya chali’. No wonder, Raj realized its not a good idea to work from home.
26. I like seeing comments awaiting moderation in my inbox.
27. I like sun, sand, deck chairs, beer and the food that comes with it, but only in Goa.
28. I like my weighing scale when it shows even a 100 gms less. Its an incredible feeling.

 

I can go on the entire day, and its surprising there are so many things I like and yet passionately think of things I hate.

Go on, make your own list and gloat.
