One of my friends remarked that ever since we planned our summer vacation, verses have elbowed out prose on my blog. I could sense that he was green about his gills with my so-called poems and was hardly in a condition to take any more of the stuff. So if this post comes as a welcome change then the credit goes to him and if not, well, the author’s to be blamed.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

This snippet from ‘The Sound of Music’ wafted through the air and that gave me the topic for my blogpost-‘A few of my favorite things’
o Topping the list would be listening to good music, preferably violin or flute in a dimly lit/dark room
o Traveling with windows rolled down, feeling the wind on your face (never mind getting your hair messed up)
o Watching the skies darken, awaiting the drizzle and catching the first rain drop in your face
o Scared out of your wits by the flash of lightning but still awaiting the loud clap of thunder
o When a big wave surprises you on the beach and soaks you to your skin
o Walking bare-foot on the lawns feeling the grass tickling your feet
o Starting your Sunday with a steaming cuppa and marathon session of newspaper reading without anxious glances at the clock
o And, of course, the smell of wet earth soaking up the first rain drops
The list doesn’t quite end here. But I can hear my friend’s stern warning to keep it short. So, may be, whoever reads this can add to this list? Now, wouldn’t that be lovely?

As i expected you are smitten by the nature's beauty. Are we expecting Part-2?
I enjoy any music with clear phrases and melodious. Tabla as well a very relaxing resonance.
Hi Latha:)
Most of these things are my favorite too.
But I would like to add a few more to this lovely list of yours.
Watching the sky when the sun has set over the horizon.
Watching the dolphins in the back waters of Kochi.
Watching a ship gliding into the sea from the Kochi port.
Watching little children play in Durbar Hall grounds.
Watching an athletic meet in the Maharaja stadium in Kochi.
To sit and dream and drift off to sleep.
I think I have an endless list.
Best wishes:)

* Watching a good 3D animated movie
* Riding bike with a minimum of 60kmph in decent traffic where gaps can be found with little difficulty

Also love to visit ancient temples which vibrate with spiritual energy..
Love to meet people of different cultures and thought processes and exchange notes..

The smell of wet earth soaking up the first rain drops in the air.
Children playing in the rain.
Eating hot samosas in the canteen.

Dear Latha,
Good Morning!
Here's my favourte topic.:)
I can relate so well as many of our interests are common!
As the monsoon started in Kerala,
Feeling the magic of rainy season![As you have read my new post,I am not repeating];
reading the fictions enjoying the cool drizzles and the melodies!
plucking flowers and getting thrilled when the cool drops of water fall on my face!,
Giving inspirational talks[just yesteray I stepped into the college on the way!]:)
To bring a smile on the listener's face![thus giving some sunsine and raindrops]:)
Inspiring the depressed to dream high;
writing anything and everything........[that you are familiar by now]:)
Building bridges btween minds[experiencs taught me];
Reading,reading and reading[from newspaper to classics];
waking up to the calm and beautiful sea![God's grace]
Saying goodnight to the amazing colourful waves with the reflected lights from the ships;
Enjoying the star studded sky sitting in my balcony,
the fragrant maddening smell of blooming jasmines............
Hey,am I writing another post?
Getting lost in my dreamworld reliving the sweetnothings!
Wishing you a lovely day ahead,
Sasneham,
Anu
