100 Happy Days: Day 99 Scary Whisky


Happiness is winning a first prize in fun contest of creative cocktails



Was attending an event at Momagoto, where there was a contest of making cocktails. All the food bloggers were grouped in teams of three persons. Everybody made very creative and tasty cocktails. When my turn came, I wanted to do something different

Since I like spicy drink, I decided to make a spicy cocktail. So, we crushed basil and put in a glass jar, added black pepper, celery salt, and orange slices. Muddled them and then added orange juice, a syrup, and whisky. Added some ice and shook it well. Rimmed the glass with celery salt and poured scary whisky on the rock.

Surprises! Our team won the first prize. Our experiment was success. The judges said that they had never tasted something so delicious!

100 Happy Days: Day 97 Indian Dolls


Happiness is being immersed in creativity



I was passing through a handicraft store,when this couple caught my attention and took me back to pre-social-media days when all my free time was spent in various handicraft activities including making dolls. Having a creative hobby can liberate us from so many things. I have not made dolls for sometime now, but till today, I have made more than 100 dolls of different culture and costumes. Whenever I make, I am so immersed in the activity that outer world ceases to exist. Right from designing the clothes and jewelry, to getting the expressions closer to reality, the mind is completely occupied around the activity.

Looking at the finished product, there is a sense of achievement. It feels good to stare at your creation of making something from odds and ends. The dolls have life, they talk to you, and they begin to have an identity you can relate to.

Maybe i should make one more soon.

100 Happy Days: Day 96 Surprise Meeting


Happiness is meeting a friend at most unexpected places



I walked into the lobby of a hotel and ask for directions to a particular restaurant I was to dine. While the person was still giving direction, my gaze settled on a friend sitting at the far end of the table. Everything forgotten, I rushed to the table to hug my friend whom I had not met for a long time. 

Happiness is found in most unusual moments. Many times we ruin our happiness by complaining. By bringing the unpleasant past back. It’s the moment that decides our happiness. Meeting her was pure happiness. It was the moment to relish and be glad that her delayed flight (her reason for being at the hotel) and my presence at the hotel (was invited to attend a dinner party) resulted in this happy meeting. Had I not met her I would not have known that she was in Mumbai.

Was I glad? Of course yes…..
