… which is a bit wordy!
A few days ago, just after the rains that evening, I was out in the park adjacent to our apartment complex for the evening walk. A family stays at one end of the park in a makeshift hut. The husband and wife are the care-takers cum gardeners of this park.
After the hard day’s work of mowing the grass and sweeping the pavements, I saw the woman make food for the family. And yes, it was awesome weather which was perfect for…
… Pakoras and Chai.
Seeing her serve hot Pakoras to her husband and 3 kids, my heart smiled.
And a thought struck that simple pleasures of life certainly hold universal appeal… age, creed, class no bar!
Agree?

Agree agree … rich or poor, some simple pleasures are loved by all 🙂
True, like they say, it isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about! 🙂
Agree wholeheartedly!
🙂
It’s the little things indeed, Shilpa!
Small things indeed… makes all the difference 🙂
So true Shilpa, some of the greatest joys lie in the simple pleasures of life.
You bet 🙂
100% agree.. now I feel like making pakoras!! The weather is just perfect for it! 🙂

There is beauty in little things of life
True that 🙂
Pakoras in this season are a delight. Mouth watering picture!
We made it last night too 🙂 Thanks Ma’am 🙂
Totally with you on that! It is the small things that matter the most and we usually take them for granted 🙂
Well said. We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have!
yes, agree. smallest things take more room in our heart. Loved the capture, shilpa.
Thanks Asha 🙂
Agree agree, agree.
As Usha has said the picture is indeed mouth . Didn’t you get one piece to taste while you were photographing it?
Always loved pakoras and chai and the rain. Now the weather here is just right for all this.
Nah, didnt think at all of that. 😛
Bangalore is awesome in rains. Have a great time with pakoras and chai, Rama 🙂
Small pleasures of life have nothing to do with status..Imagine the happiness of the family which,perhaps,millionaires crave for
Yeah, they were all sitting near her and having hot pakoras and chatting and laughing! Such happy picture they made 🙂
Beautiful photo. The family that eats together stays together.
Agree completely 🙂

Perhaps you should have persuaded her to share one pakora with you.
I think, if I had asked, she would have lovingly shared it with me. 🙂

Fortunately, the simple pleasures of life cost little or nothing.
