Even if you subscribe to the notion that Life is a four-letter word, there are always bright spots. Or defining moments, to use another term. Ok, bright or not, these are/were some of mine.
Listening to great songs on radio. Ceylon/Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation, and later, Vividh Bharati.
Buying and using a record player and records to play on it. Brand HMV.
Playing cricket for school.
Reading Wodehouse, Agatha Christie, Perry Mason, Enid Blyton, Phantom, Mandrake, Asterix, Tintin.. later, Rex Stout. In Marathi, Pu. La. Deshpande.
Writing a book.. Marketing Research.
Watching films- the 70s, almost all. 80s- less and nineties, most of the good ones. (Now, it's a rarity.)
Joining Facebook at my daughters' insistence- it was a game-changer, has kept me going through good and bad times.
Karaoke-ing, which started from my 50th birthday, in 2010, when I got a mic as a gift.
Marriage, of course, in 1988 and what follows- 2 daughters, in my case.

Could be a few more, but I am forgetting them right now.
