Happiness is something which cannot be defined, because it means something different to each individual. Neither is it tradable, nor can it be measured & yet, everyone wants to be happy in this world & few agree that the choice to be happy lies solely with the individual. Depending on others for one’s own happiness is like placing a part of your life into someone else’s care. Nobody can fully experience or understand another person’s happiness. For some, it means earning a million bucks while for another it may mean excelling in studies yet for another, it is to see a smile on their loved one’s face. Happiness is associated with peace, excitement & exhilaration, & one person may feel happy in a variety of ways. We live life like it’s a race, where we have to reach the finish line as fast as possible and get as much done as possible. Always on the go, stuck in a rut, we are often living the life of a robot, connected 24X7 by technology-phone call...
She dreamed about it, day & night Knowing it was too good to be true. Wanting for it to happen with all her might But being practical was her virtue. Some told her to pray, others to visualize Saying, work your way, don’t see left or right. Work she did, day & night, Her goal, though not in sight. One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.
The shadows shift rapidly, The Sun makes way for the dark clouds, Big, fat raindrops fall to the ground, Quenching the thirst of people all around. Water puddles as far as you can see, Frogs skipping away, The tiny green shoots peep with glee, While the Koyal in the tree is quiet today. The rains have their own charm, For humans, plants and animals alike. Bright green leaves dotted with sparkling drops, Waves in the sea dancing merrily, Birds ruffling their feathers, The soul of the Earth rejoices with every shower.
beautiful... sometimes all we need not to give up and just fight... might be there some kind of hope... which can help us to find the way...
