Sounds (and sights) that mak/de me smile ..

A long forgotten favourite song being played in the auto you get into and you cant help but smile.
The school bell at 4 .. "Viva's over , you can leave now" after that electronics lab.
The 10paise ice cream vendor's bell back home ..(the best ice cream ever ... better than HaagenDaz(I swear)) , pulling my grandfather away from his siesta and dragging him to get that 'paal-ice' on a stick!
A friend's voice on the other end of a phone after a fight.
That unique 'sound' in Shaan's Gumsum ho kyon song .. (anyone know what that is?)
My mom's lullaby..
MS singing Suprabhatam at 5am on a winter morning .
A bus full of friends singing themselves hoarse (and screaming at the top of their voice to scare people on the road when the bus stops :D)
Friends screaming 'Surprise' and putting colour all over your face and in five minutes every single one of your friends looking like an absolute orangutan(a multi-coloured one at that! ).
The 'hiss' when you put onions&mirchi into oil .. the pink and green sizzling together..
White paper boats floating aimlessly ... The pittar-patter of raindrops on the window sill .. or the plop-plop as they fall into muddy puddles ...
Sitting at the Madurai temple stairs by the kolan with the water lotuses , looking at the gopurams as the sun is setting behind them ... and a kid in pattu-pavda runs across with her anklets going 'chan-chan-chan'..
Looking at the green lawns from the 4th floor window discussing profound(:D) philosophy with a good friend over hot chai.
Lying down on that green lawn and looking at the bluuuuuuuuuue sky with cotton candy.
Poetry ..
Laughter ..
There must be a million more , but I can hear dream land calling me now ... :)
