I would like to thank James for nominating me for this Tag. I am honoured and humbled to have been nominated by an immensely talented writer. James is an extraordinary writer and has self published 2 books. Anyone who likes good stories and good English must read his posts. James is not only an immensely talented writer he is also a very kind person:
Thank you James for Nominating me for a blog where I can describe some things that make me happy. This subject of finding joy in our small day to day happenings is so close to my heart π
Rules and Regulations of this Tag :
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you.
2. List fifteen of your small joys.
3. Nominate Five other Blogger Friends who bring you joy.
Here I go:
1. Dawn: I love to watch dawn. It is such a joy to sit in my terrace and watch the changing colours of the sky and beginning of life. Early mornings are so divine – I love the peace and the quietude and the serenity of the mornings. Pure bliss. Chirping of the birds; listening to their chirping and witnessing their joyous dancing and flying around to entertain me – brings me heavenly joy.
2. Fruits: Eating fruits in the morning is another source of joy for me. How can one peel an orange and not get filled with love and joy of God. I am a happy Fruitarian πππ
3. Meditation: The days my meditation is deep and sweet brings such joy. I look forward to this joy every morning and evening. From Joy I have come; in Joy I live and in that sacred Joy I shall melt again. π§ββοΈ
4. Tea: A cup of Darjeeling leaf tea is heavenly after the morning fruits and meditation. I look forward to this joy with my breakfast everyday βοΈπβοΈ
5. Watching my granddaughter laughing and giggling when she is streaming ππ
6. Arms around my neck from behind by my princess π€
7. Family meals and light hearted chatter π
8. Smell of Freshly baked π
9. A hot cup of tea with pakoras (popular Indian snack) during rainsπ§βοΈ
10. Reading a good book or a blog and writing
11. A clear starry night π
12. Watching a rainbow π
13. Walking with cool breeze brushing against my face.
14. Watching clouds. The way clouds play with each other is mesmerising. They tell so many tales.
15. Watching flower laden trees – Gulmohar and Magnolia
My nominees: There are so many bloggers from all over the world who bring me joy. As per rules I am nominating these 5, with whom I have interacted more recently with so much joy ππ€
1. Sweeti’s Saba is the sweetest, my princess and my soul mate. We started our blogging journey about the same time last year. I love it when she calls me her beloved uncle π
2. Noorien: Have met this young and fun loving blogger recently. It makes me so happy when she calls me her young friendππ€
3. Barbara: She is the twin sister of my soul mate and is bound to bring me joy. She is immensely talented and full of energy π
4. Sushmita: When I thank her for her kindness and love she always tells me not to thank her all the time. She tells me: Uncle it is natural to care for people one loves. What a joy.ππ€
5. Karlien: Have met her recently and have had many joyous interactions.
As per rules I could nominate only 5 bloggers but you too bring me joy π Would love to hear which small day to day happenings bring you joy.
Wishing you all the joy you can hold ππ€

Congratulations Ashok Uncle ππ
And I always feel blessed that God sent you into my life, within this short period of time, I feel so much connected to you and especially Raanya, although I haven’t met you people, yet there is a kind of contentment within me.
This particular nomination has brought me Joy, while reading your post, I was really feeling very happy. You are such a pure and positive soul.ππΊ
I feel honoured to be nominated by you Ashok Uncle. I won’t say thank you as you know the reason, why! π Well I’m trapped in my own rule.
Sir, there are many things in the list but if we are to choose one, then definitely Meditation! π
Congratulations and thanks for the nominationπ€π
Thank you ashok for the very kind compliments. These mean a lot to me. I am humbled by such warm thoughtful and considerate words ashok. You are a warm and kind heart that is a pleasure to know.
Hearty congratulations Ashok for this joyous tag and I simply loved all your cute little answers. This is life that needs to be enjoyed the way God wants us to. I have become very busy with a lot of housework and my husband has had two operations so when I get time like to be on the blog and love to see and read posts and see Youtube of Nisargadutta Maharaj and at times Sadguru too. No time to read.
It’s moments like these in nature that I get a glimpse of God, or the super natural.
I really like your joys! Makes life rich β€οΈ and I donβt mean by money! Itβs those little things!
Also… I love your word βfruitarianβ that is AWESOME!!! β€οΈ love that very much! Have never heard before, but is really cool! βοΈ
Keep enjoying your joysβ£οΈ
