Spending an evening in the kitchen dishing out some of your favorite dishes. Pasta Salad tossed with tomatoes, onions, olives & mushrooms in Thousand Island dressing, Au gratin, Macaroni Hotpot...
Catching the Classics hour on VH1 and watching your favourite songs from childhood back-to-back. November Rain (Guns n Roses), Every Heartbeat (Amy Grant), In These Arms (Bon Jovi), Right Kinda Love (Jeremy Jordan), Never Forget (Take That), Rain (Madonna)....
Baking a cake - right from scratch. None of those ready mixes please! The smell of the cake filling the kitchen has got to be the most satisfying aroma ever...almost aphrodisiac if you ask me! ;-)
Washing up after baking - Ok don't look at me like I'm insane. I abhorr washing dishes normally, but when I'm baking, there's something incredibly satisfying about washing up the mixing bowl, the mixer handles etc while the cake rises behind me in the oven, and that smell...ok I've already spoken about that, haven't I?
Spending a day at a close pal's place just doing nothing...talking about nothing in general, making pots of coffee (some good, some worth washing down the drain) and guzzling it down over a ridiculous heated argument on an inane issue, patching up later over left-overs or take-out...
Walking down the beach all by yourself, letting the breeze run havoc through your hair, not botherng about the humidity making your skin shine like it shouldn't, watching the sun disappear as you perch yourself on a rock trying not to smile at the suspicious sounds emerging from the rocks behind :-)
Doing the same thing with friends - only not ignoring the wierd sounds this time ;-) and making up silly songs about how the rain is falling in paradise, and someone is your fire and you're the ice...yes, we aren't winning the award for Best Lyricists 2006.
Going for a long walk in the evening and returning wet with sweat - and then washing it off with aromatic shower gel under a hot, scathing shower. Ummm....follow that up with yummy home cooked dinner and curl up in bed for a dreamy sleep. Satisfying I tell you...

wow...been soooo long since any o f those...prefer the beach but as none here in pune, will settle for the cake :-)
its jus the plain ol raw satisfaction from so many other things i crave rite now....hmmmmmm
Pasta. Wish one could eat it everyday, calories be damned!
Was watching VH1 sometime ago; the only channel worth watching other than Zee Cafe and Discovery Travel and Living.
'Never Forget' (have been looking to download that song for ages...)
Love 'Rain' and also 'Take a Bow'.
Do you like Amy Grant's 'Lucky One'?
A hot shower is soooo relaxing, I feel ashamed to say that I almost never feel like getting out of it ;)
Aastha _ Interesting pic you got there...
Bluegreenflyspat - Then eat some na? Kuch nahin to sunfeast pasta hai! ;-)
Aparna - Hmmm I think I do manage to have a meal like that ard 3-4 times a mth. Life would be so tasteless without it ;-)
Kitana - That reminds me; I still haven't tasted your cake!
Madusa - Did you say calories in Pasta? *shakes head in disbelief* Dint know there were any ;-) Haven't heard that particular song by Amy Grant. Only Every heartbeat and Baby baby
Casablanca - Same pinch :-)
Aristera - Aisa kya? SO great minds feel alike too eh?
arre, i have one helluva story about sunfeast... someday, will tell!!!
Sounds like so much fun!
fikar not...m in the process of bakin a christmas chocolate cake...soakin em dry fruits in loads of brandy n rum...yum yum yum...will call u first thing when its ready :-)
Phal - (Your new iden is too long to type each time re)...curious about that story...
... - It is it is, believe me! Welcome aboard...
Docs Dope - Dude, I know PLENTY of men who like pasta. And I don't think 'ability to cook' is any more one of the criteria for getting hooked up, forget making rotis et al, which by the way is everyday fare that's no big deal at all. Welcome to the 21st centure darling.
Kitana - Lil early for xmas cake no? But still, holler out loud enough so I can hear you frm your corner in my corner and then I'll hop, skip and jump over to have some of that cake :-)
haan but you have to call me phal only naa
I thought I'd left my comment here, but seems like its vanished in some cyber black hole!
Anyways! Apart from the cooking bit, the music, the drive, reading, writing...all are so alluring! :)
Phal - What to do I thought you wanted to go pseudonymy so I was trying to keep ur 'real' iden in wraps...now I know!
Blue Athena - You did. On the previous post :-) Having read your blog I can completely understand about the music, the drive, reading and writing ;-)
Thanks Geetanjali. I enjoyed reading your blog...I think I may become a regular :-)
