3. When you get to lick the cake batter left over after the baking tin has gone into the oven.
4. When the auto guy unexpectedly tenders the 3 rupees change.
5. When you wake up feeling fresh as a daisy and your alarm is 6 minutes away.
6. When a chocolate is neither too hard or too soft and rolls in your mouth in fluid perfection.

22. When the perfect chai warms your frozen hands.
23. When the perfect chai costs less than what you pay for parking while in the city.
24. When you sleep so deep that you can't remember where you are when you wake up (sans consumption of any substance of course :P)
25. When everyone notices & confirms how dandy you're looking today.
26. When someone remembers something that you had thought that nobody had noticed you did.

May 2012 never see you without a reason to smile and a pocket devoid of sunshine. :D
To kickoff the year, i leave you with a song to remind you all good things in life and to let you tune in with the slow pace of goodness - "Somewhere over the rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. :)
