Waiting for the Sun- Day 19 of #100happy days

The hubby had an early morning flight to catch, and after seeing him off, I made myself a steaming mug of coffee, and curled up with a good book, intending to watch the sun rise. I finished the mug, and another, but the sun was nowhere in sight. There was a light drizzle. It was a beautiful winter day - a wrap yourself in a woolen shawl kind of day- one we dream of but rarely get in Bombay.

I wished the morning could last forever.

And yet, I worry. About climate change and where it will eventually lead us.

Tomato Soup for the Soul- Day 15 of #100happy days

On a cold winter day, you don’t need very much to be happy. A warm shawl to wrap around yourself. A bowl of steaming hot tomato soup in front of you.

All these years, the tomato soup used to be from a packet. Pour the contents of the packet into a pan of boiling water, making sure there are no lumps, and keep stirring till done. Bliss, in fifteen minutes.

But this winter, tomato soup has been made from scratch. Using the plumpest tomatoes I can find, and by balancing the spices just the way we like them.

Pleasure guaranteed.

A Sliver of Sunshine- Day 3 of #100happydays

In Bombay, you learn to hide from the Sun. You stay indoors when you can. If you have to venture out, you slather on the sunscreen, grab an umbrella, and cut your trip short. You dislike the Sun.

And yet, for those delightful few weeks in winter, the Sun is welcome. You sidle up to that sliver of sunshine, and make it your own. You share, but only with those who you absolutely adore.

A bit of sunshine. A cuddly teddy bear. A good book. The ability to enjoy it all. Do you really need very much more in life?
