15 Things I Love Most About Life
Life is not always about milestones — sometimes, it’s the smaller, quieter moments that shape us the most. As I move through each day, I find myself collecting experiences that make me pause, smile, feel grateful, and reconnect with who I truly am.
Here are the 15 things that fill my life with joy, purpose, and peace.
1. The Magic of 5 AM
There’s something sacred about waking up before sunrise. A warm mug of black coffee in hand, and a peaceful Headspace meditation — this gentle silence prepares me for everything that’s ahead.
2. Morning Rides With My Younger Son
Dropping my younger son to school is pure happiness.
The bike ride, the conversations, the excited goodbye at the gate — these moments are golden. Through him, I relive the beauty of my own childhood.
3. The 7:30 AM Window Seat Ritual
Every morning, I catch the 7:30 local train and secure my favourite window seat.
With my flute class recordings or a thoughtful podcast playing, this becomes my personal moving meditation.
4. Playing the Flute for My 86-Year-Old Mother
Visiting my mother and playing the flute for her is one of the purest joys of my day.
Her smile, her silence, her blessings — these moments nourish my soul.
5. Prayers and Warm Greetings
A prayer to Lord Ganesh, followed by cheerful good mornings with my hospital colleagues — a beautiful blend of spirituality and human warmth.
6. Joy in the Community Ward
Meeting patients after their cataract surgeries and seeing the happiness in their eyes reminds me why my profession is a blessing.
Healing is a privilege.
7. Lunch Made With Love
Lunch prepared by Sawant Kaka — dedicated, hardworking, and full of heart even at 65 — is not just food, but affection served on a plate.
8. Evenings at the Gym
My workout at Studio Gym with my coach Gautam is where I push limits, recharge, and rebuild — physically and mentally.
9. Writing My New Book
Working on Rajubhai BAMS fills me with incredible enthusiasm.
Every chapter reminds me of my journey, my values, and the stories that shaped me.
10. Flute Lessons With My Guru
Learning from Pandit Ronu Majumdar Ji and Pdt Eknath Thakur ji is transformative.
Sometimes, I slip into a state of samadhi — a beautiful mindlessness where only the music exists.
11. The Arabian Sea at Sunset
On the train ride back to Mumbai, I often watch the sun sink into the Arabian Sea.
A moment of calm in the chaos — a reminder that endings can be beautiful too.
12. Walks With My Wife
Evening walks with my wife at Dadar Chowpatty garden, with the sound of waves accompanying us, are moments that feel grounding and gentle.
13. Cycling With My Son
Cycling along the Worli sea face with my son — laughter, wind, speed, and bonding — simple joys that become lifelong memories.
14. Long Drives to Malvan
Driving through the Konkan, especially towards Malvan, fills me with nostalgia and peace.
The roads, the forests, the coastline — it is nature’s therapy.
15. A Drive to Nariman Point With My Elder Son
Recently, an evening drive to Nariman Point with my elder son became a moment I’ll always remember.
Listening to him talk about media concepts, his new podcasts, and his growing passion — with the Arabian Sea beside us — took me back to my college days.
I remembered the dreams I once had before life carried me into a different stream.
Some moments make you pause, smile, and rediscover the person you used to be.
Life is not about chasing the extraordinary; it’s about embracing the everyday miracles.
These 15 moments — from early morning rituals to trains, journeys, prayers, music, family, and silent sunsets — remind me that joy is always around us.
All we need is the heart to notice it.
