Vindi, Amaruwan, and Pink Mist have tagged with another one of the Rhythmic one’s viral posts. The trouble with these is that they create a hypnotic sense of communal obligation as well as uncomfortable deep philosophising. Here’s the result:
- Mrs Cerno (a person not a thing but I think you get the idea
) - Morning sunlight
- The relief that no one I know has been hurt by a bomb blast
- Realising that I’m not as stupid as I thought, without the delusion of thinking I’m intelligent
- Discovering happiness by not wanting things
- Pleasure of writing
- Reading a book on something that I didn’t think would be interesting and finding it to be fascinating
- Ordinary meals with family
- A fresh breeze in the shade
- Watching visitors to the back yard buffet pig out
Fact that happiness starts from within – for which I hold the sole responsibility. Without that base none of the above has any effect.
To stop this from spreading further without actively doing so, I tag Indi, Sittingnut, Nazreen, and lrrp of Camp Steel Wire all of whom I’m sure have better things to do with their time

Oooh, You’re good Cerno…
I can relate to 9 & 10. Especially 10. Not only do we have resident squirrels that have rented space for 5 generations, we also get parrots, monitor lizards, Demalichcha’s, Magpies and a Monkey that loves leftover coconut shells. I’m getting a good cam soon, after which a series of pics should follow.

I must say No.7 is one of those particularly happiness inducing moments- book or movie! That’s is how I discovered Harry Potter sitting on a shelf at Lakehouse when I was 11. Good times …

please teach us or write a post on how to do #5…

Vindi: You discovered Harry Potter @ Lake house?
Parthi: Doubt I can “teach” it
More like a realisation that grew on me over the centuries. Listening to Ajahn Brahmavamso’s talks made me realise that it wasn’t so weird

sach: That’s a memory which goes way back

Yeah shocking I know, but back in 1999 before it became all the rage- I discovered their only copies of the first two books, at the LP branch after having flicked through the British Council copy of philosopher’s stone the year before

dear cerno when U are little bit mature ( than what U are ) U will realise that ‘ratings’ like happiness and intelligence are pure states of mind. U decide the perimeters of these ratings based on the particular surrounding and experience. And mind U intelligence is definitely not reflected by school gradings. (It just shows that U have studied U r butt out) Intelligence is all about how U handle life AND JUST THAT.

lrrp: Thank you
That’s quite a enlightening point. I was gauging the intel factor from how I’ve handled life in the past

sittingnut:
not a priority – I tagged you expecting that you’d have better things to blog about and not spread the tagging
