- Examining my fingers after a long bath. The fading wrinkles on the fingers effortlessly forward me to the way they would permanently look in future.
- Watching the languid bus depot from my bedroom window, enjoying the breeze playing on my hair, till I feel a tinge of pain on my nose after pressing it too hard against the iron grills.
- The irrepressible tears that come out involuntarily after listening to 'Kwaja mere kwaja' from Jodha Akbar and BJ's ' Bhavayaami Gopalabalam' set in the Yemen Kalyani raaga.
- The relief and gratefulness for the first serve of food on a grumbling empty stomach.
- Taking a quiet walk from Bessy to Adyar any day, any time.
- The divinity of a roadside makeshift temple.
- The references that I unconsciously make to my own life while reading a book.
- Lethargically turning my head in response to the wave of fresh cool air in the office atrium.
- Walking home through the chaos and confusion of a busy road.
- Nostalgia when shopping at Nilgiris that plays Kishore Kumar songs on a full blast.
- Loneliness at the relative quiet of my apartment after I shut the door.
- Brimming tears after spicy Sāmbhar at the Murugan Idly shop.
- Heaviness after crushed expectations.
I enjoy :)

Very nice. My first non-sarcastic comment, maybe :p
"The references that I unconsciously make to my own life while reading a book"
a beautiful summation
of the moments of heightened awareness
(including that of our inner recesses)
and
of the process of appreciating fine arts
as well
listmania meets listlessmania
I enjoyed reading this piece...
