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?
