    Additions from my side (since I can never think of writing such blog posts):

    #Dressing nicely for the office on some special days or randomly
    #Trying to cook something, which turns out to be something else, and still tastes decent
    #Putting a smart one-liner status on FB, and getting 5 likes within an hour
    ..and the biggest of all…
    #watching a Sachin century (though this doesn't come under #Small Joys)
