Not to be confused with pick-up lines, but some things that help in changing my mood for the better most of the times:
- The sight of my niece or listening to her talk
- ‘Sri Satyanarayanam’ or ‘Mayamma’ by Sanjay
- Lalgudi’s violin recital
- Picking up the phone and saying ‘Hi’ to my friend who can immediately sense my mood and listen to him prattle on endlessly about absurd stuff, without expecting a reply from me
- Any book by Wodehouse or Sujatha
- Singing the lines ‘Vaazhkai enraal aayiram irukum- Vaasal thorum vedanai irukum; vanda thunbam eduvenraalum; vaadi ninraal oduvathillai - Edayum thaangum idayam irundaal iruthi varaikum amaithi irukum’ (In life thousands of things happen, at every phase sorrows may affect you, but any difficulty does not go away if you sit and sulk about it. If you have a strong heart that can take anything, you will be peaceful till the end), from the song ‘Mayakkama Kalakkama’ by Kannadasan
- Go for a long walk
- Listen to my mother talk
- Spend time in the company of people who don’t find it necessary to fill silences with words.
None of the above cost anything and they work for me. What about you?
