Greetings dear ecencials !!! Another interesting prompt by @ericvancewalton for #memoirmonday. Simple Pleasures are the ones that keep us moving forward in life, amidst several uncertainties.
What Simple Pleasures Bring You Joy?
My day starts with the Aadhan (call for prayer) from a nearby mosque, at around 5.30 a.m. Morning is a tight schedule for 3 hrs., by preparing breakfast and lunch and then packing them off.
These are my uninvited guests
Then my day starts. My so called simple pleasures. I like sipping my tea, gazing at the kitchen window for my uninvited guests. And, here they arrive spreading joy by their mutual conversation in their language. If I delay their food, I can hear too many variety sounds...some somber while some are harsh. When I put their favourite biscuits through the window, I could see them rushing up for their part. This is just a part of my daily routine pleasures.
In general my simple pleasures includes
I play the FM radio in the morning hours, to hear the chit chats of the anchors and ofcourse music.
My home garden
I love walking through my garden, removing the weeds, exchanging the flower pots then and there and then having a small chat with my neighbour.
I enjoy watching the school children in theur uniform, cycling to school. And few of them waiting for the school bus. Here, we do have lot of school and college going children..
Gardening, one of my untiring pleasures
I like trying something new, be it cooking or stitching or gardening.

Have you ever smelled the wet mud after it rains. Its something I wait for. Please give a try if you haven't yet.
I like to sit by the shore and watch the waves sliding up and down. Above all, I love flying kites at beach. Here it is quite popular in our district.
I like eating street foods. They make it fresh, when placing an order.
The time you spend with elders are the most treasured ones. One such moment is with my parents. Because their childhood stories are so adventurous as their was no gadget, only friends. We sit for hours laughing.
The best time in a day, with my family, is dinner time. When we sit together in the dining table and exchange the happenings of the day.
An outing with family once a while
