[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.

I really like looking out my window and observing the life around me. Makes me introspect about the life I lead and helps me be more mindful about things.
2 AM late-night talks, introspecting on how much life has changed in the last few years, looking at the sky, enjoying the cool breeze, and its calmness with your closest friends is second to none.
When I am alone, I prefer to read memoirs and life stories of people whom I admire and look up to. The feeling is surreal. Though it is temporary only, I try that at least some part of it stays with me forever.
@Thomas_Shelby I agree even today evening, all I want is comfort and solace from this world.
