[Thread] What are the little things you find happiness in?
Lately, walking in the garden and watching birds chirp in the morning has become an underrated thing that I find deep happiness in.
Even late night walks are becoming interesting with an ice-cream at hand and the wind blowing in my hair.
What about you all?
Same here. My dad after retirement has is upto gardening. We get fresh okra, beans etc from our garden. Seeing the plants grow and taking a walk through the greenery makes me happy.
When I lived in Gurgaon, during the winters after work and dinner, me and another resident in the building would make chai and go chill on the roof around a bonfire late into the night.
We'd discuss about dreams, goals, philosophy, or simply listen to to slow music in silence as the millennium city slept.
Occassionally, we'd have other friends and colleagues join us, and sometimes we'd share a joint too.
Reading biographies! Just love it. You get to re-live the moments.
What are some biographies that you’ll suggest?
@QuietSurgery I completely agree. It puts you in the shoes of someone else and you get to live their life.
I loved Shoe Dog by Phil Knight I am currently starting Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson as well after finishing the one by Ashlee Vance 4 years back.
