Happiness implies.....??

Reading this must have evoked a number of memories?? A fun holiday with family, get-together with school friends or a movie with your sweetheart – each individual has his/her own definition of happiness. While I am writing this, I came up with my own.

For me, happiness lies in small, little things. I wake up late in the morning and my sister is ready with a delicious breakfast and a healthy lunch to carry office – this is happiness; I went to office and I was praised for my work – this is happiness; it’s my birthday and my parents gave a surprise visit to my house – this is happiness.

Small little things have the power to bring smile on your face which, many times, a visit to a 5-star restaurant cannot bring.

Happiness is absolute and pure. It’s about how you look at things and how you deal with your problems. It’s just a state of mind which helps you think much more than the lower part of your life. 

It’s about loving what you have rather than cribbing for what you don’t have. It makes you enjoy the smallest things in your life.

There’s nothing that can beat the joy and happiness we gain from the simplest things in our life. In short, happiness is not an emotion, it’s a choice we all should make.

An Every-time Failing Plan

                                           

Engrossed in my work at office, my phone vibrates to distract me and as expected it’s my di who has pinged me. Unlike the regular forwarded messages, this time the pop-up showed something new. And guess what, my lazy sister was in a mood to hang-out. I was amazed to see her message but soon I recalled a few of her previous plans that had never turned into reality.

Let me introduce you to my sister. She is my caretaker, she is my boss, she is my guide and she is my life! She loves making plans and simultaneously, loves to stay at home. Ask her for a hang-out on a weekend and her instant answer would be a big ‘no’. She would say, ‘I would rather love to stay at home and sleep rather than wasting hours on roads or at a mall’. And then, I am left wondering why you even make plans when you can never execute them?

But then, never mind! It’s her routine habit. Making and breaking plans is a part of her daily schedule. It’s Wednesday and this time, the planning has been done for Saturday. Let’s see whether the plan actually turns into reality and I enjoy a great time with my sister or the plan remains to be a dream and succumbs to failure.
