traveling
Traveling would have been in my list, but don't think it can be classified as simple pleasure, more like a pricey pleasure.
Why chai in the evening?
Actually at night - after dinner, tucking in kids in, everything done. It's just silence and my chai.

agreed!
For how long these things can please some one, pleasure is ephemeral, episodic and hostage to the object of pleasure, first sip of coffee is all that it takes to adopt the taste of it, rest becomes an exercise, if however you are lucky enough to internalize, capture the moment to gratify yourself for a long period of time, you are , then, indeed a winner.
But if your act of pleasure is just an act of pleasure to yourself, the moment is lost as soon as you lose the sight of that object of pleasure, happiness is what we lost in gratification and try to find it in pleasure.

Thats human nature. Nothing stays gratifying for too long. But its this short-lived joy that we derive from these mundane activities which sets them apart for others.
For ever-lasting bliss we need to end up in heaven!

That may not be entirely true, in fact fun and pleasure seeking activities have given rise to the philosophy of neo hedonism which in a way has become a life line to those who thrive on the adoption of this philosophy among the masses.
Cantankerous, there are activities that can instill in you an ever lasting gratification, however the scope of this thread limits my ability to articulate it.
