ALL WE WANT IS, HAPPINESS.....



Life, a word, which begin to play a slideshow of millions of feelings, thoughts, experiences and events right in our mind. Throughout our lifetime, we run past many opportunities and threats that define the course of our life. But how far we have understood this life. Why do we live? What do we want from the life?
  •       Do we want money?
  •       Do we want prestige?
  •       Do we want a nice Job?
  •       Do we want love?

What do we actually want? You will say all you want is to make others happy, to earn a lot, to prove something to the world, or just love. But have you really understood the basic want behind all your aspirations from life? What you actually desire from your life? How will you finally say that your lifespan have been meaningful?

Is it not right to say that whenever we achieve something from life, we tend to lose its importance? A child loses his excitement over a toy when he gets hold of it. People lose interest in jobs as soon as they grab one. A student loses his contentment once he grabs a great project to work upon. Money does not satisfy a person once he gets hold of it. In short, we crib throughout our lives for one thing or the other. We never tend to be happy from within for anything we achieve. Human soul tends to demand more. But failing to understand what it want, we tend to remain dissatisfied with our lives.

Never have we tried to understand the real reason behind this dissatisfaction. We just keep running here and there in search of peace, from one door to another, in an effort to find contentment. Think over it once. Do we not want just a simple smile, a happiness inside our heart. In whatever we do, do not we seek happiness? We aspire to dream big, in terms of money, power and status throughout our lives. But don’t we remain more contended in smaller acts that make us happy? Meeting a long lost friend, spending a weekend as per our wish, enjoying the rain, living peacefully away from the commotion. Don’t they make us truly satisfied in terms of self-realization?


The core of our desires is the craving to be happy. We do all our acts in an effort to find happiness. Its just that our path is stranded with a million hurdles that we found hard to overcome. But happiness tends to remain at the core of our desires. We seek happiness in the outer world, money, power, status and relationships. But the facts are, happiness will never be achieved till a point we learn the true essence of our being, i.e. life is an odyssey to remain happy. Happiness is a virtue that we forget in the fast paced life. We seek happiness in things. We believe happiness will be achieved in materials of the world. Once we discover, that we are living just to remain happy and contended, our life would automatically become all the more peaceful and happy.

Experiencing the joy of laughing, on-the-go

Fun is an element which can be found practically anywhere. It is there on the streets and it is found in the smiles we experience when we find the latest episode of our favorite serial being telecasted on the television. I am not a television freak, and I do not prefer watching television most of the times due to impending deadlines at work, but am always eager to savor the tales it has to show as per my convenience and schedule. I used a lot of android apps to get hold of one of my favorite light comedy show on Sab TV. But, due to the busy routine, I often had to skip the telecasts because of the time slot restrictions.  For months, I had to skip the episodes, and then try to find old videos of the same. It was just recently that I found the latest Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box, and it came like a blessing in disguise. I am a huge fan of the hilarious tales of Jetha Lal and his neighborhood, but only Tata Sky+ Transfer gave me the power to enjoy the same as per my sch...

The Natural Sadist

Throughout our lives, we run past many people. Some are good, some bad; some take our heart away, and some etch indelible marks on our soul. Some help us through this material journey, some become obstacles. But everyone out there surely come across such people in their lives who have no particular aim for the future. The person appears as if he has no work to do on his own self. He/she always irritates us, makes our life hell, and appears as if deriving pleasure from our troubled state. We feel as if the person had just taken birth on this planet to make others regret their births. The pains a sadist gives to others is nothing more than the punishments given in hell. He makes us regret every decision we take. He/she may be anyone in your life. An unsatisfied boss, a clingy distant family member, a person we used to recognize as a friend, a revengeful enemy or just another stranger who seems to make life hard for you. Who is a sadist?  A sadist it seems have cruel inte...

Think before you act, your act affects others, do consider this fact…

“This is my life!! Do not try to interfere”…. Pallav shouted hard at Meera, hard enough to shake the very soul of her. She had always been the most affectionate and caring personality in Pallav’s life right from his childhood. She had been a friend, companion, a support system and his soul mate. She had seen worse times of his life and made sure he never broke off during the darkened phases of life. She had cared for him as a mother, listened to his apprehensions like a sister, supported him as a wife, and stood by her through the test of time. Their relationship was the one where the weight to push forward the relationship and future were only on the delicate shoulders of Meera. Every single night she would cry hard thinking about her destiny that her future held. It was not that she was unhappy about her relationship. But, she too deserved care; she yearned for love; she wanted affection from the one whom she considers her life. She had always been a pillar that supported...
