Do you stop yourself channel browsing when you find Dirty Dancing playing on your television? You jus’ sit back with a goofy smile and watch the whole movie. If that’s you, don’t think of yourself as one nostalgic guilty pleasure consumer. There are more. Including me.

We all have our guilty pleasures. We may still have those autumn leaves that we sat on, on our first date stashed somewhere in an old book, which could be for all you know a romantic book.

That in itself is a guilty pleasure.

There are others too. You walk on the road and find a pebble worth playing soccer with. You kick it around till you reach home.

You find another pebble by the lake, you are tempted to throw it like a Frisbee and see it travel over the water and bounce as much as it can and then drown.

You stand there looking like you achieved something.

You buy flowers for your beloved and smell it once and then feel like gifting it to yourself. Buy one more set of flowers and keep it in your vase.

You thumb through pages of a the daily newspaper and find a common man become a hero by saving something or someone and you fantasize on your toilet commode or on the bed that you were the one who saved the world and you are now a hero.

Well, then after that you flush and go back to work.

But the pleasure stands for the moment and catches up as a positive vibe for the day.

This pleasure is important. It may sound comic or real goofy to the one who hears it or sees it but for you it brings back the child in you. It brings that self-joy that no one else can give.

In a world, where you have to go to search engines to find anything, at least happiness can be brought within you with your guilty pleasures.

Try it.
