Day 222: For getting Rid of Clutter

Today, I am thankful for…

1.       A lazy and late start to the day!! :P

2.       Being able to take some time out to get rid of the clutter that had been accumulating in my closet and my table. Phew! I feel so much lighter just knowing that I have gotten rid of the useless and unnecessary stuff!!

3.       Being able to watch ‘Bride Wars’ and totally enjoying it!!! I’m on a movie spree… or so it seems!

4.       Being finally able to post something on my other blog after sooooo long!!!

5.       A heart-to-heart conversation after a looooong time with two of my closest friends…. Amit and Jay!! :)

Day 221: For ‘Pop & Lock’ and ‘Up’

Today, I am thankful for…

1.       Getting done with lectures earlier than I thought I would be.

2.       The fact that it did not rain in the evening. It has been almost like a rule that on the days that I have dance classes, the sky is bright and sunny just till I’m about to leave the house, and then it pours like it hasn’t rained for centuries for just two minutes (which is enough for my pants to get totally drenched as I’m on my scooter! My wind cheater only protects my shirt…) and feel the chills in the air conditioned dance studio. Of late, I’ve been carrying an extra pair of pants just in case the ones I wear while leaving the house get wet. But, today, it didn’t rain until I was on my way back; which is fine because I’m on my way home and it doesn’t matter then; and I’m thankful for that.

3.       The new phase in Hip-Hop that we’re learning – Pop and Lock! It’s sooooo cool. The steps are a lot easier than what we learnt in New School Hip Hop or Crumping, but Pop & Lock needs style!!!!

4.       Two great movies that we saw on Star Movies – ‘Up’ – which is the most adorable animated movie I have seen since Ice Age; and ‘Enemy of the State’ – another wonderful film where the story moved so fast that we were all sitting on the edge of our seats!

5.       Knowing that even though I don’t wake up early ever, tomorrow, I don’t have to since it’s Sunday! :D

Day 220: For Water that went Up my Nose!!

Today, I am thankful for…

1.       Plans that got made at the last minute that resulted in a wonderful evening.

2.       Not having to wait for long for the bus and being able to travel comfortably.

3.       Chance meetings with people you haven’t seen in a long time.

4.       The reaction that I got when I said something. I could’ve died [ :P ] but the full blown laughter that it induced was totally worth it. We were at dinner and Sandeep gulps down two whole glasses of water in a matter of seconds without even pausing to breathe. I looked at him and called him a Tanki (similar to a tank in English) and he instantaneously reacts (while I was trying to drink the minuscule remnants in one of the glasses) by saying “Tu monkey” and the water almost went up my nose as I tried hard to not laugh until it was down my throat completely! I could’ve died had it gone in my wind pipe but thankfully it didn’t.:P

5.       The laughter!! After we both laughed over it for quite sometime, I realised that I hadn’t laughed this hard in a really long time!! :)

Day 219: For Fasting

Today, I am thankful for…

Fasting for Janmashtami (that was good in soooo many ways…)

(a)    Celebrating Lord Krishna’s birth!

(b)   Not eating at all for almost 24 hours surely helps. Not that I overeat or something, but I think I should fast more often; just to stay the way I am.

(c)    The simple food that tasted delicious because I hadn’t eaten anything in so long!!!!

Day 218: For Movies and Food :P

Today, I am thankful for… (not much but just…)

1.       Being able to spend a good afternoon with my sister.

2.       Watching a great movie (I love you, Man) and having a wonderful time watching it with Natasha. Paul Rudd is so sweet! :)

3.       Yummy snacks!!
