I got tagged again, this time by dear friend Has To Be Me. but I am not sure why it Had to be Me. Ok before I get on with more of my PJs and the tag, here is a decent one:
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she got the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says "Hebrews"
The tag is as follows:
Name 10 of life's simple pleasures that you like the most and then pick 10 people (no no, dont run!) to do the same (optional). (thank God, and hence I shall leave the option open for all you guys, feel free to indulge, and you can even use my comment space ).
Try to be original and creative and not to use the things someone else has already used. (original, isn't that the tough bit!)
1. Genuinity - I prefer everything to be genuine, especially people. But strangely, it is a rareity. 2. Choices - The luxury of having choices, and the sense to choose the right one. 3. Independence - Something sacred for an Aquarian 4. Nature - I feel one with the nature, I could spend my life looking at the sky, sea or greens - day and night. 5. Kindness - One act I really admire. 6. Spirit - I need to be alive, and in company of people who are spirited, even about small and simple things. 7. Dreams - My whole life revolves around them. 8. Peace - of mind, body, work and world. 9. Happiness - Life is too short. 10. Love - Everybody needs it in some form.

Good one MC, glad to you got tagged.
And after reading the list of simple pleasures, I knew it had to be you . :)
Very genuine, simple and lovely.
@ quills - thank you. and yes, it simply feels good when you get flattered for nothing :)
MC, you are wrong, as many of your fellow bloggers will agree with me I am sure.
I only flatter when there is something to "flatter". And on your site, I find a lot. :)
MC, quills flattery was genuine. I second her. I really think you must to choose the right scissors ;-)
I also love spirit, but the kind that comes in bottles. Very genuine stuff. If gives you choices, independence, dreams, happiness, peace and love :-)
Seriously, that was nice list. May you have all of those in abundance.

Enjoyed reading your tag reply. Simple, yet profound!
Got a chuckle out of your joke as well! In our house, "Hebrews" by programing the coffee pot the nigh before, and the magic of modern invention has it ready when we wake up.
@Alexis: Hear hear!:) Thank you. I knew you would understand. :)
MC, the Great Alexis has spoken. Now you won't doubt any more, would you? :)
@ quills - ok..flattery accepted with all the grace and gratitude possible..thank you :)
@ alexis - thank you al..appreciate it.

@ patty - thank you pat. i like the way "hebrews" in your house..technologic hebrews!
@ quills - aboslute not! :)
Reading your blog ranks in my "life's simple pleasures". {since flattery is the order of the day why should I be left behind? :)) }
LOL I am kiding MC and Quills :))well.. seriously speaking reading the blogs of my blog pals is among my list of life's simple pleasures. I overlooked that when writing my Tag. And thank you for that open invitation. Cannot remember a tag I have enjoyed so much than this one.
And yours with it's soul of brevity was excellent!!!
Aah! MC..gracious as always.:)
Absolutely u say or Absolut..now why does that remind me of a certain spirit.;)
@ silverine - lol..thank you dear silverine..we all love reading yours more than you know.
And yours with it's soul of brevity was excellent!!!
like someone said.."brevity is the soul of wit". and someone else said, "brevity is the soul of lingerie"
@ quills - thanks again.
now why does that remind me of a certain spirit
must be because there is a spirit in that name...i think :)
The Simple life and such simple pleasures.Beautifully emoted with gorgeous pictures,as always.
I think I would put standing in the rain as one of my pleasures though I always get dragged by my ears whenever I try to.Especially standing in the rains when you are so much in love....Oh me Gosh ...that is way too much pleasure to even think about ;)
great post as always MC.
pssst...I tried out that version of Maggi and I just can't stop.It was an amazing culinary rendition which I had never tried in all my 5 years of college!!
Now look what you did, you got me hooked to a gazillion calories!
Great list MC...
Genuinity, Choices, Independence ...
any man's dreams...
@Alexis:
I second your second para =))
brevity is the soul of lingerie?
Good one.. I saw an ad for a Lingerie Sale. the banner said:
" 75% off now, 100% off in the night!" :))
Nice list! Spirit one was too good. Really warms up the entities around you too! (Alexis...No..I didnt mean that spirit ;))
very beautifully put .. I think they covered the essence of life . I couldnt think of anything that was out of place or if one could think of a better list than this .Simplicity is the truth of life and existence but the most difficult to find .
@geo- any woman's dream too !!!
Sighhhhhhh.... everyone have such artistic and cultured simple pleasures. Am I ze only one who's materialistic, base and crass? (Shakespearean Sigh again).
Is there anyone around who feels like I do, thinks the simple pleasures in life involve things like...
a) A 4X4 monster cheeseburger, animal style from In-n-Out.
b) A nuclear powered gaming PC, fully armed and with all bells and whistles
c) A 512 KBps broadband internet connection..
Grrrr........ wait for my response to this tag!
:)
Great views :-) Though I agree with almost all of them, choices, nature and independence are somethings I relate with instantly. And I agree with that Aquarian trait you mention. It is inborn in us, Aquarians.
@ maya - hi dear maya..thank you so much.
standing in the rain..nice..i love it too..but haven't done it lately.
glad you liked the version of Maggi :) its time tested and i have a huge fan following for it.
@ geo - thanks geo..hope its going well for you. the girls are missing you man. come back soon. oh yeah, i knew alexis would have plenty of support :)
@ silverine - hahah..ultimate line that one!! awesome!
i am glad you took the tag..it was splendid..and the pic..i forgot to ask..is it from simla?
@ popabhi - welcome here.. ofcourse, without spirit we would all be dead men walking. yeah that spirit, not the bottled ones :)
@ shruti - hey..the busy bee..thank you so much.you are right..the more simple we keep our lives, the more enjoyable it becomes.
@ anand - hail anand!
oh man!!cheeseburger, broadband and nuclear powered gaming machines! why am i not surprised!
@ archana - hey! thank you so much..yes, i notice most aquarians are fiercely independent.
how are you? and how is the research?
lovely list...made me feel suddenly light in the midst of a very hectic day...simple plasures we always tend to forget! no flattery intended.
richa
