About happy things in her life.

This morning for instance. She woke up early. It is not usual for her. She sleeps late and wakes up late. So when she does wake up early, she feels happy. Soon as she was up, this morning, she remembered there is plenty to do. Work that is turning out to be
exploratory, interesting, addictive.

When there are things to look forward to in the course of the day, it makes her happy.She opened the front door - the light was soft, it felt cool - not cold - the tap water at the basin felt warm on her palm and on the skin of her cheeks. She took her time brushing her teeth, all the while staring out the hole in her makeshift kitchen window with the square glass panes missing in its frame.

She watched the white Suzuki of the Gupta's rev, back up and move out of the common frontyard in slow motion. Next, it was her Landlord's Honda bike that roared softly once and cleared the space between the house and the main gate in one swift leopard-like leap.

This morning her tea turned out fine too, aromatic with the sweetness just right.

While she made her tea, she made a mental plan of where she would begin work for the day.She decided to start with the mail as usual but also do the to-do list before she actually began. It relaxes her when she can physically tick off tasks completed from a checklist.She sleeps better. It also gives her more time to herself.

For breakfast this morning she didn't have to struggle either.She hates to have to plan a meal early in the morning. There was plenty of milk, plus plain dosas that she had fried for dinner last night but had forgotten to eat.

managed to find a vendor yesterday who agreed to deliver milk in at her doorstep every evening. She has had problems ever since she changed jobs. The former deliveryman refused to come in the evening. When she was ill a few days ago, and was laid up for four days, there was no milk in the house even for a cup of warm coffee! She must remember to get some Amul milk powder and stock it up.

She is happy that she had found this accommodating, soft spoken, polite milkman. One thing less to worry about. He even carries a mobile phone. At least now if she is ill and laid up, there would be some food in the house, and some human contact.

This morning ended with the work in hand taking its own course, which was good in the circumstances, she didn't have to worry about what to, how to - it fell in place - by lunch time she knew this evening would be nice and peaceful - with a sense of a day well spent.

Manish called from school asking if she could pitch in for Tees Ka Dum this afternoon - she had to refuse as she decided she would rather concentrate on her Feb12 deadline right now. Other than that, it has been a "yesss" day so far.She wanted to watch Lucky By Chance but she is happier writing this now, so would leave it for another day.
