100 Days of Happiness – Day 39

It’s easy to find sadness each day, but to find a moment of happiness is difficult. Last year, I couldn’t bring myself to finish the 100 Days of Happiness challenge. This year, I am more determined to finish it — Counting down to 2016 with Happiness!

The Happiness of a Home Made Chaats

100 Days of Happiness – Day 39

I love chaats. Mostly, I go out with my friends or my family to this outlet near my house which has them in Bengali style. I think that that’s value for money too, and quality as well. My mom told we’ll make it at home instead. Last week, we tried bhel puri, and it was nice. My favorite chaat though is golguppa or pani puri. We made that today, and it was yummy. Boiled and mashed potato, finely diced onions, spices… It made my mouth water, and I gobbled them up so quickly, I had no time to take photos!

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
