Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind.. it is not getting your desires fulfilled, it is not fulfilling someone's desires. It is not getting all the help that you want.. it is not helping someone in need... it is just a state of mind.

You can be happy whenever you want to.. even in the worst of situations. It is not time-bound. It is not situation bound.. it is again.. just a state of mind.

You can be happy wherever you want to.. even in the depths of hell... it is not place bound, it is not with whom you are.. it is again.. just a state of mind.

Happiness is in a chocolate.. it is in a ball game.. it is in a ballroom dance.. it is even in a bike ride or a long walk in the hot sun.

Happiness is in a tweet, in reading someone's FB post, in listening to a song that you love.. in listening to some music.

Happiness, however, is not CAUSED by these happenings.. it is caused by your mind.. it is caused by you!

Suppose, I stay hungry for a day... my folks might not be happy.. but I might be!
Suppose, I go for a long walk and be successful in losing weight... my folks might be happy.. but I might not be!

We just find ways of pointing out to objects which bring about happiness.. we are finding ways to point out situations that bring about happiness... we are finding ways to commit actions which bring about happiness.

I am happy.... that is all I want to think about.. and I will be happy.

Just like saying the word "Smile" brings a smile on your lips, the same way.. "feeling" happy or even thinking that you are happy, will cause you happiness..

Go.. think about it.. and be HAPPY!!!

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
