I realized recently that the sound I love most in the world is the sound of the running dishwasher. I love listening to it- the sloshing and ticking - every sound produces in me a deep visceral joy and contentment.
I love listening to it as it runs, revelling in the knowledge that all my dirty dishes are being cleaned. Often, I run it just before I go to sleep- as I love to fall asleep listening to its watery rhythms- it is definitely the most soothing lullaby in the world!
Yes- you must have guessed by now that I absolutely OD about the state of my dishes (clean or unclean). That is why I love sleeping to the sound of the dishwasher- for it gives me a feeling of gut satisfaction, of a day well spent, of knowing that I will wake up to a clean kitchen...
ohh heaven :)

Ahhh the luxury of dishwater. Been missing that this summer, among other things..
@ Nikhil- Tell me about it! My husband and I are ALWAYS arguing about the relative importance of clean dishes ;)
@ Richa- thanks! Kaisi hai- wanted to comment a LOT on your recent blogposts, but was too lazy! When are you getting back to Palo Alto?
