Learning something new: I like to learn new stuff and also to learn more about things I love, like cooking and gardening. It is such a pleasure to then try it out and get it right!
The Nilgiri's: These Mountains are a haven to which I escape as often as I can. It is such a pleasure just being there.
Laughing: I like to read humor and laugh with friends over silly stuff like only gals do.
Silence: I love the sound of nothingness save for the chirping of birds.
Kerala: Love the place and going there and walking around in the quite Parambu is a simple but exquisite pleasure.
State of being content: When everything goes well and you feel you have done your best and there is no niggling feeling of something not quite right.
Flowers: I love flowers and I never pluck them. Love to see flowers growing on plants and shaking gently in the wind.
Rains: I love rains, even with it’s squishyness and muddiness and the fact that it deprives me of my evening walks. and the smell of the Earth after the showers is heavenly.
Walking: I love walking and thinking. And sometimes it is creeping tiredness that reminds me that I have to stop.
Swing: I love to ‘swing’ as in sitting on an ‘oonjaal’ and swinging. Can do that non stop. I still have a swing in the house.

You still have a swing at home. I am jealous of you. I hope it is the one with the normal Kayar and Thengin Mattal.
My Achamma's House had a big Mango tree in front of it, and there was a big branch that was just above the courtyard. There we used to put up a swing during vacations and swing. I was really expert in standing on it and swinging. And at times "Choppan Urumbu" will come and bite.
Later that branch was cut to make a Road and put up a gate :(. Now Its been ages since I swung.
And Yea, Birthday Bumps to your bro

@Dhanush: We had a tree swing with Kayar and plywood seat till it could hold our weights. The branches were quite thin so we soon changed to a regular playground swing made of Iron. Summer nights and the swing is a heady combination :)
