The Paradoxical State

When I decided to write about something today, I was grossly confused as to what it could be!!! There are so many things I can talk about, but where to start from was a big question. Anyways when I was thinking, I suddenly got reminded of an article about Happiness Index in India. Indians, it seems are the happiest people still existing on the planetJ. I was faced with another big question! What are we so happy about??!! 35% of people living below poverty line, only 65% literacy rate, per capita income which can’t be compared with developed economies, hardly any infrastructure or amenities for public, standard of living way below as compared to other countries…the list is endless…I thought for sometime and found the correct word to explain “Happiness”. Actually, as a nation we are a group of contented and indifferent people. However, we have an opinion for almost everything under the sky, and that includes me as well. For a moment forget about us as a nation. Think of yourself and see if you are really happy. Confess to yourself and not to anyone else, and I know the answer in most cases would be NO.

In my opinion (I told you we have an opinion for every damn thingJ) as a nation with the largest young population, we have all the right to be “HAPPY”. But when you probe deeper, you will find sadness and dejection at professional and personal front in most of us. And it is natural because our aspirations and dreams are too high to be understood and met at this juncture.

Let me leave you with one question – Do you think you are happy? If yes…why? And if no…why?

If you differ from what I have said, please put in your comment (and I’ll give another opinionJ) and if you don’t, still your views are solicited.

Others make you happy

I understand your feeligs my friend I share a similar one. We spend all our life right from birth with a desire and intention to be happy. I got into school my parents made me study which I did just to make sure my parents are happy. Than I went to college I studied and studied hard. I spend hours in library and labs and spend most of my time preparing notes - these notes were circulated to all my friends who never attended practicals - what I acheived, I got friends who were happy. BUt BUt But where is my share of happiness ????

I fell in love I gave everything to make her happy, Than I started beleiving that our happiness lies in making others happy.

Over the years this feeling became stronger and stronger.

So my friend you dont have to wait to get your happiness, instead the time that you spend waiting try and make somebody else happy.

A misscal or a SMS is sufficient enough to make others happy and find your happiness in them.

Toady, waiting at a client's place, all of a sudden I went into a trance...n I realized it is going to be destructive...destructive for my intelligent mind:-) n I was right...waiting for some1 can only lead to frustration, be it your girlfriend or a client. By the way both r same; with either, u cant show ur anger, u should display care and understanding and even if u feel like “what the hack”- u still have to show and sustain “close-up” smile. So during the time when I was comatose…I was still thinking and talking to my inner self; my soul. I asked so many questions and most (infact all) of them were unanswered by the time his majesty –my client – came back. We had a chat and for an hour we discussed important issues with professional gravity. The moment I was done…same questions came back to haunt me. There surely was an uneasiness and discomfort about the way I lived today. One more day gone in search of what is commonly known as “Happiness”. This has been so for quite some time now…and I have been shrugging it off most of the time…newayz the moment I get a clue about “what is it that I am missing” I think I’ll be homo sapien again.


Nevertheless, the big question remains – “how to ensure waiting for someone turns constructive…”

I am starting this blog with a view that some of the thoughts which otherwise are unexpressed and remain suppressed, will be brought in open...hope to benefit and understand few concepts with clarity...
