What makes you smile


Joys of life can be found in many things. We, sadly live in a world where happiness is usually equated with booze, branded products or holidays abroad. But yet we find there are some things that simply spell pure, undiluted joy. 
We asked iDiva regulars what would bring a smile to their face and this is what they had to say:

"A walk on the beach by myself cheers me up any day. Feeling the sand under my feet and sound of the waves just clears my mind. The sounds my baby girl makes when she is happy; brings a smile on my face too. it gives me joy to see her play and just be." 
Swapna P, 29, house wife

"For me there is nothing better than the feeling of rain drops falling on my head. I like it even better when i taste it :) Another thing that always makes my day is the smell of fresh flowers, especially Jasmine at Dadar station at 6.30 am." 
Nicole Braganza, 26, media professional

"Whenever Im stressed, frustrated, down and out; I take a deep breath and go to my window and watch the birds flock by and blow bubbles!! That's right. Nothing busts stress like blowing the steam out with bubbles." 
Sia Ray, 28, Writer

"Usually when I feel low I wish for a friend to call me. But I cheer up quickly, especially when I spend time with children. Watching them play laugh and have a good time makes me think that everything is better." 
Shilpa Balani, 28, lawyer

"We get upset or sad when thoughts go askew. It always helps to change our perspective towards things and think out of the box. When I feel a little low I get out of my house. It changes my point of view. I usually go to a cafĂ©, look around at people. Some who’ve come by themselves, some to meet a friend, some for a date. It just makes me feel fresh and gives me joy." 
Preeti Khilnani, 23, journalist

"I think being low is just in our mind. I just don’t let any negative thoughts come to me. If I feel my mind needs some clearing I simply go for a walk, find some fresh air and feel better!"
Babita Vijai, 34, house wife
