1. Waking up early morning and before anything else, sipping a glass of water, for 15 minutes.
2. Picking up the clothes to wear for our daughter.
She calls it "kapde choose".
And its a thing.

3. Reading the newspaper.
We do not have a TV at home and I do not track any news.
So all news is delivered a day late to me.
4. Chole Bhature and Meethi Lassi
Nothing to be added here. Just felt!

6. Playing tennis.
The sport tests me on my focus.
The movement tests me on my fitness.
The daily commitment tests me on my progress.

7. Writing.
It helps me pace my thoughts.
It forces me to pick from all my thoughts.
It demands me to structure my thoughts.
The more I write, the clearer I think.
@david_perell has taught and inspired me a lot.

8. Chew gum.
To fight my sugar cravings.
9. Last meal at 630pm
I sleep without feeling heavy.
I wake up light and energetic.
And I say no to most dinner invitations :)

10. An afternoon nap
Few things give you a sense of control and being "rich", than the ability to take an afternoon nap, because you feel like it :)
11. Singing aloud while driving
I look forward to driving, purely so that I get to sing out loud.

12. My silent-buttons mouse
The fact that when I click my mouse, it doesn't make that click sound anymore.
Such joy! :))

14. Feet in hot water
Especially at the end of a day where the game of Tennis was intense.
15. A good knife and peeler
Nothing makes me happier in the kitchen than cutting vegetables with a sharp knife, or peeling with a good peeler.

16. Books
I am constantly blown away by the fact that most books cost less than 500 rupees and can change your life.

18. Head massage
Even with my thin almost balding head, I go for a haircut every month JUST SO I could get the 5 mins free head massage.
And then he asks me the question I can never say no to, "Sir, 30 min ka head massage kar doon?"

19. Paper planes competition
Every weekend, all marketing pamphlets with the newspaper fight for the ultimate warikoo paper plan competition.
From the 13th floor, whichever plane flies the longest wins!

20. Putting things on my calendar
I LOVE to put things on my calendar, so that I forgot about them thereafter, only to be reminded by my calendar.

In my 20s, I was convinced that only big expensive things could make me happy.
I chased them.
Got some.
Only to realize they didn't make me happy.

Today, I realize that nothing liberates you more, than being content with less.
To be content doesn't mean you do not desire more.
It means you are thankful for what you have and patient for what's to come.
