The Best feelings in my Life

I saw this post on Riti's and felt that this was one awesome post! The feelings are not about great victories, vanquishing worthy opponents, earning incalculable riches, possessing immense power, but the small things in life which can make you happy.

Some of the very little things that make me happy are:

1. When I cuddle my younger syster M, it takes away all my worries and is one moment I can always count as being on top of the list. And when I tickle her sooooo much that tears almost appear in her eyes from all the laughing.
   
2. When I tease my older sister S to no end, and she becomes cross with me, and sometimes even charges at me!
3. When Papa says he is proud of me.
4. When I keep delaying my daily ablutions and Mummy comes to shout on me to go take a bath!
5. When I dirty my room, and find Mummy has got it cleaned up for me. (Makes me both happy and naughty ;-) )
   
6. When Maa kisses me on the forehead and wishes me good luck.
7. Almost a decade back, when I used to keep my hand on my grandfather's stomach and feel it raising and falling with his breath.
8. When I put in really long hours into some work and then see it flower into a beautiful result.
9. When sometimes I (very rarely) I realize that I did something right which I had done wrong earlier.
10. When I realize that I have helped somebody without expecting anything in return.
    
11. When I can cross a noisome place by holding my breath and then inhale fresh, clean air.
12. When I can lie in a dark room and feel that I am the Alpha and the Omega, the fabled frog-in-the-well, the universe begins and ends in my thoughts.
13. When I can get lost into a book so much that I do not even realize that my parents are calling me for lunch.
14. When I can sleep over a problem only to crack it when I get up.
15. When I can stand atop a mountain peak and feel the wind striking my face (I haven't had a direct experience of it, but its a recurrent thought when I want to feel good).
16. When I can stand on a beach and feel the sand retreating from under my feet and yet maintain my balance.
17. When I can stand under a shower and let the water flow all over me, incessant, unrestrained, cleansing everything.

Illu season

Its the illumination season again and work in Kgp is on at full swing. If you dont know much about illumination check my posts:

1. Rest at the time of work
2. Illumination work
3. Rangoli - Celebration of Colors
4. The Best Day of My Life
5. Long Overdue
   

Illumination is a tradition all of us in Kharagpur are really proud of, because it is something unique to Kgp! We could say that the teamwork, the competitive spirit, the creativity, the funda, the lively nights, and the grandeur all define Kgp!

I am posting some pictures of the guys working for illumination on my Flickr page here. I will keep updating them, so keep checking back!

(I would have liked to post them here, but resizing pictures is a pain, and it really messes with the template. In the meantime to make sure my readers do not miss out on the pictures I am including the Flickr Zeitgeist on my page.)

The fifth-line-of-your-twenty-third-post tag

The fifth line from my 23rd post is:

In fact, as we can see, Pepsi has larger operations than Coke although Coke is more efficient.

This post was a result of a discussion I had with a friend. I claimed that Pepsi was bigger than Coke when overall revenues were concerned, even though Coke was a much bigger brand.
