The Secret Of Happiness



I know that you are reading this and that means you got a decent phone, lap top or a PC with internet facility; I would like to tell you that there are so many people who can’t even afford their daily bread. But you are fortunate than all of them. If you can read this; you have eyes, the most precious gift that god gave you, everyone is not as lucky as you. There are hundreds of things by which I can prove that you are blessed with fortune. And the cool thing is even you know all of them. But have you felt happiness because of the things you already have?  When you get upset have these things made you feel better? I think the answer is ‘NO’. When you see a person who has better phone than you, you feel unlucky and this feeling is more than the feeling when you get after watching a person with no phone. That means it doesn’t matter what you have, we will always focus on what we don’t have.



            “When I get 5000 bucks for shopping I really get happy. Now suppose if I would have born in one of the richest families, do you think 5000 bucks could have made me happy?”  That means now I feel good with some money only because I don’t have them. So basically the things I don’t have today will make me happy when I get it. So if you feel that you are unlucky after watching a person with better phone that gives you one more reason to be happy tomorrow.  If you don’t have everything you want, you can be a happier person.



            But you can’t just feel the happiness alone. You need the people you love with you to share your happiness. If you are alone and even if you have everything, you will not have contentment. Suppose there is an island and there is everything that money can buy, everything that a person dreams to have. A bungalow, your favorite cars, best bikes, the most delicious food to eat, mountains to climb, swimming pools, games, everything but no ‘man’. You don’t have any human being with you on that island. Can you imagine yourself as a happy person there?



I know you are a part of a race and you want to win it. But what is the point if you don’t have your loved ones to celebrate with you at the finish line. If you fall you need your friends to hold you up. You need people around you for everything. If you have good bikes then you look to show off, if you have best chocolates then you need to share it. Even you want people to laugh at jokes with you. And you can’t laugh with everyone there are some special people in your life with whom you laugh at everything. These are the people with whom you feel comfortable. These are the people whom you love. If you lose these people you will forget what happiness feels like.

India Against Corona: Let's Fight Stupidity First

I usually don't write about what people should do and what they shouldn't. But this is a time when I think this is needed. Corona pandemic is hitting India and the count of affected people is continuously going up. However, before we fight corona we need to find some solution to the stupidity that is going in our country. Because of stupidity, the people of India are getting divided into two types. The gap between these two types is broadening with every step we take. To prove how big this gap is, I want you to go through the following image: So this was tweeted just after the whole country lighted Diyas, Candles, or Torches in their homes. Now, just as I said there are two types of people in India: 1st Type: People who will get angry when they read the text "Corona gone?" because it is taunting what PM Modi had appealed to people of India to do. And will get happy by seeing the reply, "No Still present in the form of Tabli

You Be Brave...- A Motivational Short Story

When Eva was very young, and before she could start her school, she was very mischievous, restless, amiable, and possessed a very inconsistent mind with an extraordinarily strong imagination. She always figured a unique and unheard logic to how things worked. When anybody would ask her what she wants to become when she grows up, she would always give different answers. Sometimes she would say Doctor or Teacher, but sometimes she would say Elephant or Horse or even a Whale. I also heard her sometimes say that she wants to become an Airplane when she grows up. I think she figured that growing up has something to do with growing in size, and as we change our size we can become anything. For, once she asked me “Ma’ma was I a Cat when I was small?” We were very entertained and proud to see how imaginative our little daughter was. But with this imagination, she had this inability to stay focused committed to any work. She would never finish any game or activity. I got b

On the Edge: One of the most Inspirational Stories

A mid-aged man, tired of doing same things for a decade, became despondent due same thoughts. 5 bad minutes exploit the whole day. This man was having 9 bad hours, everyday. It could have been different, if you were a little courageous. The only thought running in his mind, dispirited him to become tedious. His wife, tired of his abstracted and forsaken behavior, decided to send their 12 years son to boarding school. Missing a child would be better than etiolating him, she thought. The boy whereas unwilling to leave his home cried before his mom. Realizing that his mom is the instigator of this decision, he goes to his father to tell how scared he is. Totally agreeing with his wife’s decision, the man tries to convince the kid to go at a better place. “But, what if I don’t want to…” utters the kid. It’s better for your future, you will be in a far better school than any school in this town, you will be surrounded the students like you, who want to achieve something great
