Happiness!!

Someone once told me that “Happiness is the undying quest of life, the unquenchable thirst and the insatiable hunger of all human kind.”

We always tend to associate happiness with grandiose things in life which will look magnificent be it a job, shopping, buying a property, marriage etc…Come to think of it that there are at times innumerable small events in life which make you happy at that particular time. Obviously the things that are so large in magnitude bring a lot of happiness but we forget to value what the daily events bring to us!

When I started working it was only salary in the initial month that made me happy but later as I got onto my job, many events and things made my work simpler.
Generally I associate my happiness with the small things I indulge in.
My friends and I have started a thing of mailing and chatting through our emails while at office (thanks to the IT dept that many of our chatting sites are blocked)..We talk about how we spent our weekends (that is, if we don’t spend it together), our programmes for watching any forthcoming movie our made through these “Hi” mails…Even if I have a sad day at work these mails make me smile, recollect the fun we people have when we meet and it makes the day so simpler for all of us…. Even a calendar that I got from Naukri.com which has the funniest conversations between people in office that I look forward to changing it every month makes me look forward to a new start each month.

Likewise, a text from an old friend or say when suddenly out of the blue, the team you work with decides to go out for a coffee and have fun…At times after a tiring day when you reach back home and mom makes some of ur favorite food does it not work like a painkiller?? When I see my niece and her smiling face it makes me happy, when I drop my grand mom to the temple (as she cant walk that much due to old age) her good wishes for me which she generally says in punjabi (sorry i am too bad at it) something that means "God Bless and live long"makes me happy.

Happiness is all what we seek for and we long for. We forget the importance of all this as we think that only few things can bring happiness. Perhaps i realize everyday as and when such events occur that, such bliss is attainable with a positive outlook for infinite small things and events in life!!
