All these serious subjects on kurakani...how about we talk about some simple pleasures:
a great cup of jo to start the day off on the right track...nobody does it like Starbucks!!!
the beginning of spring when all birds come home and you find your front porch full of their birdie do do
wildflowers starting to bloom so you have a pleasant commute
pretty blue sky with whispery soft clouds
friends and rollerbladin @ the park in shorts and a tee
the smell of fresh laundry...downy does it best
clean new white socks
hearing your favorite song on the radio even though you own the cd
children laughing
the aroma and ambience of a holiday dinner after an exhausting prep for the evening
soakin in a bathtub full of bubbles surrounded by lit candles and bottle of cabernet
receiving phone calls in the middle of the afternoon from a friend to meet up with after work
hanging out at the park
cleaning your car in a drive thru car wash then speeding off so that the water spots don't stain your windows(not recommended and not liable for speeding tickets)
being let go by the officer for some minor traffic violation because its mid month
finding a advertisement for 1/2 at the local pub instead of a ticket for parkin violation
getting a pedicure while listening to the little asian cosmotologist talk your ears off in a language all their own
laying in the sun...not doing a darn thing besides just laying there
making fresh lemonade, ice tea, lassi and sippin it wearing big goofy straw hats
laughin till your tummy hurts
teddy bear hugs
more to come...................and please add to this

dyamnnnnnnn i find myself extermly unlucky...
a great cup of jo to start the day off on the right track...nobody does it like Starbucks!!!
--> Starbucks is like half hour walk from where i live; don't have a car. Plus, it's too expensive.
the beginning of spring when all birds come home and you find your front porch full of their birdie do do
--> i hate birds. they always cheer on my window and wake me up. They don't realize that unlike them i get to come home like 3 -4 in the morning after work and i need sleep.
wildflowers starting to bloom so you have a pleasant commute
--> no wild flowers around where i live.. this place sucks.. all i see in the morning is some big trucks passing through the highway, and some construction workers working on the road which they started like a year ago but haven't finished yet.
pretty blue sky with whispery soft clouds
--> i hardly look up in the sky and see what color is it today. usually my mind is occupied with stuff , like credit card bills, a month late rent and school work.. and i'm always late to work in the morning. So no time to look up and see what color sky is it or if the birdy is doing do do or not..
friends and rollerbladin @ the park in shorts and a tee
--> yeah there are some kids rollerbladin in some areas on my way to work, but i don't find them pleasuring.. they are spoiled brats.. they don't have shit to worry about.. i envy thier life.. punks they should be paying 4 times more tution like me and i would see then if they would be roller blading or working thier asssszz off...
the smell of fresh laundry...downy does it best
--> well yeah.. this is i buy.. i do my laundry quite often and i love the smell and warm feeling of them when they're done...
clean new white socks
-->? don't have clean socks anymore.. i keep losing them somehow.. it was just like last month wheni bought like 10 pairs at the wall mart.. now i have like 5 pairs lying on my messed up room's floor and they are all dirty and smelly..
hearing your favorite song on the radio even though you own the cd
--> i won like 2 cds..i usually download songs... plus the local station over here is so annoying that they keep playing same song over and over again.. that drives me crazy.. even the songs l like they play it so much that i find them irretating.. and they usually get stuck in my head.. and i hate that...
children laughing
--> this is a university town. no children.. last time (in my freashman year) when i tried playing with a child the mom reported that to my boss and i almost got fired... what a hell of a country...
the aroma and ambience of a holiday dinner after an exhausting prep for the evening
--> what holiday.. no holiday.. holidays for americans.. no holiday for me.. dashain is the only holiday that i celebrate with nepali in a close by town .. but then i get drunk before i am able to smell anything.. and.... i don't remember what i smelled on last dashain..
soakin in a bathtub full of bubbles surrounded by lit candles and bottle of cabernet
--> thats girly shitnz.. i don't do that.. and i don't shave my legs either.. dyammnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
receiving phone calls in the middle of the afternoon from a friend to meet up with after work
hanging out at the park
--->> yeah right! and you gonan go to my work or you gonna do that project/hw for me aren't you?? i would shout at that friend..
cleaning your car in a drive thru car wash then speeding off so that the water spots
--->> grrrrr don't have a carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
don't stain your windows(not recommended and not liable for speeding tickets)
---->> againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
being let go by the officer for some minor traffic violation because its mid month
finding a advertisement for 1/2 at the local pub instead of a ticket for parkin violation
getting a pedicure while listening to the little asian cosmotologist talk your ears off in a language all their own
--->>> there are lots of ppl in american , i guess who don't won a car.. what about us ? huh huh?
laying in the sun...not doing a darn thing besides just laying there
--> wow what a plan, and you gonan let me stay at your place when they kick me out of the apartment next month.. i'm already a month delequent on the rent.. dyamnnnnnnn
making fresh lemonade, ice tea, lassi and sippin it wearing big goofy straw hats
laughin till your tummy hurts
---> thats no fun.. hurtin' yourself is no fun....
teddy bear hugs
--> thats girly shitnzzz again.. dyamnnnnnnnnnn
more to come...................and please add to this
------>>: more dyamnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn waitin' for you

Getting drunk together with ur mates, singing songs and making fools outta urselves...
the joys of winning a soccer, basketball match knowing full well that yah gave it ur all...

Ash, not always. Matter of co-incidence, You remind me of someone who was very close to me.
simple pleasure will be a day-off and watching Twolves game.

Funny but for some people .....life gets too frustating.
heading for an affordable collage ...here i am...eneded up in a basically American Gaaun. But then who says its affordable untill u work ur ass..off
classes...projects....bills due on this date ...assignment's due on that.
Who's got time for simple pleasures anyways.
to me ...Friends bring lots of simple pleasures of life. Out here...it's an "INDIVIDUALISTIC" life. Everyone lives thier own life (which is in a way independence...great freedom form naa naa thari jhanjhat and too much of interfearance form people who don't even know u well...).....
But then ...this independence freaks me out sometimes....work late and walk back to my place that's 15 mintutes apart....no one's gonna ask how was ur day...no one's gonna care if u are starving....no one's gonna care even if u reach back home safe....god forbid if u'r struggling for ur life somewhere in a hospitol (if u'r lucky) ...other wise lying on the road.....I mean....WHO CARES?
Friends....means hanging out...having same interests as they do....and no matter how bad u wanna go join them.....being an international student u have the unending pressure to pay off ur fees...have second thoughts about....spending money on simple pleasure stuff.....
Sometimes things are totally not worth at all ....not worth giving up all those..WHAT I CALL...SIMPLE PLEASURE.......that i had back home.....and specially not for a heck of things that we have here.
I don't even remember when was the last time I laughed out a heartfelt laugh.
But i can surely continue sometime later...and list what WERE my simple pleasures.

merosajha-mero sathi , you're not alone on this boat.. At least i'm in too. My boat's been sinking every day ,little by little. I came to this college like 5 yrs ago. Just like yours my college is in a little town where there are lack of opportunities and meeting new people. After living for 5 years in a small town there is no one who i can call a friend. Of course, i do have "buddies" but no friend. I go out a lot, i have a girlfriend, but not a friend. What a way of living , huh?
I came to this college because this college was cheap, but over the time tutiton has raised so much that it's rediculous. It's like going to one of the expensive state colleges. I can't put myself into anything cuz i'm stress about bills all the time. Sometimes, i have to survive with a dollar for a week, until another pay check comes ; sometiems that week becomes two weeks. I'm always late on paying my rent.. i get nast letters from mycreditors... get a hint?.. now how can i enjoy simple things when i have major major things to wory about...
i think those ppl are extermly extermly lucky who can take bubble bath and shitnz...with sound mind...hell i can't sleep, eat, study, even shit.. with sound mind....
and i don't remember when was the last time i felt a heartfelt laugh either.. i'm seriously considering going back,, cuz since the day 1 in this country, i've been paniced, sad, worried , stressed and the level keeps going up and up...
but what the heck, life is uncertain... who knows what miracle might happen to you or me tommorrow.. so hang in there friend - hang in there.. good things will happen to you and me one day....cz how worse can it be...

making others smile with a stupid or decent joke
visiting a friend who is having a low life
loving others and being loved. thanks Ed Hunter
it's so easy to forget this one, isn't it?
being able to help others, with a heart and two able hands
smiling at strangers
being called "brilliant" by your own boss
friends calling to say "i want to talk to you" i.e.
being trusted
being given responsibility
being stupid and whiny for no reason
just to annoy the heck out of others
being sexy and looking gorgeous,
for no particular occassion
going clubbing with single friends
as if you are single (but don't loose faith)
having faith in your partner
complimenting others to make their day
BTW _ you all are gorgeous! in your own ways.
have a nice day/evening :)
make someone else's day.

Might as well add this one to your list:
Self-promoting myself on sajha with not-so-subtle hints as to how beautiful, intelligent and popular I am and how intelligent and resourceful my hubby is - unlike some of you low-life scums that infest this website.
:)
Well, guess I could've done without that low-life scum remark, but what the heck....its friday!!!

I'd love to party right now, but I'm stuck here for another half hour, and nightlife doesnt really kick in until another 5 hours, does it? Until now and then, I have sajha to "whine and cry" in, as you so eloquently put it.
You have a great weekend too, by the way.

Hey ....Dyamn...Don't freek me out...I've just been here for almost 2 yrs now.....I don't think I'm patient enough to spend another 5 years out here just wating for that one miracle day to happen on me. I've know some people who have been here for 10-15 years....and i see them no better. WEll lot better in financial aspects...but then...the only achievements is materialistic ones...just like u said....Buddies but no friends.
Even i feel like going back sometimes.....but i just wanna have something with me...ethically people would say....STUDIES>....but whit a american degree ....and a nepali salary....even if i end up having a firm on my own...it'll take me a life time just to earn at least what i spendt for my 4 yrs studies .
So i guess i'm kind know NOW ...why some people quit school and earn money....I've been here for 2 yrs and havent even sent any money back home......ultaa...cridit card bills ......
That's what I'm doing....Hang on....and do the best i can. I liked what u said...how can someone enjoy simple things when we have so much of major stuff bothering us.
Thanks....for .....I know i'm not alone.
