Simple Pleasures

Its always good to get the simple pleasures out of things that really fascinate you. For me, watching a helium balloon go up in the sky and vanish before my eyes, eating a gola ganda from dhoragi, sitting by the beach observing people and hearing the calm sea, chatting, movies, dancing, hanging out with friends over a hooka are all small pleasures that we derive everyday. We all look for energies to replenish our days in some way or another whether it be actively or passively. Someone plays the guitar, someone flips thru magazines to find inspirations, some read, some watch passive television, flying a kite, sitting on roof top watching stars, talking endlessly with friends or cared ones, taking out time to find out about another person, entering competitions, taking part in dramas or plays, sports.... something or another. Yet at the same time we indulge in materialistic things as somehow we perceive that our indulgence in them will bring us satisfaction whereas the truth is that we feel the best when someone else passes a genuine smile. I wonder. Are we looking for simple pleasures in life or are we really caught up in this materialistic environment where we do things for the sake of doing things or rather we go out on the road for a careless drive and just drive and drive and driveeeeeeeeeee..... in search of the simple pleasures in life.
