Finding Happiness in smaller things...

Are you happy today? Ever wondered what is happiness? It is nothing more than a chemical reaction in our body causing pleasentness. Where to find it? Within ourselves..What makes us happy? Depends on what we want...A child gets it when he gets the desired toy(companion) & parents get pleasure in seeing their child playing happily. A student gets it when he scores the way he wants(when hard work bears fruit) & a teacher is happy to see his/her student achieving success. A girl may get it when she goes for shopping(materialistic happiness). A farmer may get it when he looks over his fully grown paddy field. A thirsty man may get it when he finds water. A couple may get it at their child's birth. A singer gets pleasure in singing. A dog feels happy in the company of his master. I feel happy when I have no work to do!!
Why don't we find happiness in smaller things in life? What does a girl feel when her boyfriend proposes to her? The first kiss? (or for that matter every time u get a kiss...) An appreciation? A hug? A tear in your memory? Somebody fighting for u? Winning a ludo game/ a round of cards? A relaization of your importance in somebody else's life?
How many times do we sit down and enjoy the fragrance of the parched earth during rains?
Or marvel at the beauty of nature? Or have thanked God to have given us the wonderful gift of life which always has something new for us in store. Or felt lost in the nostalgia of the glorified past?
In the jigsaw puzzle of life, we can't find our fit!!

I searched the hills,the waters beyond,
where is this happiness that they all speak of,
In vain did i look,so homeward went I,
till i found it buried in my own backyard.

Maami Series - Something about the Kurta

Well, it has been quite some time since we ignored our dear Maamis. To provide you a status update, DM is on a Mama (Groom) hunt whereas SM is exploring the world of photography. DM is always filled with deep appreciation (to the extent of joining her fan club) for SM whenever SM tries her hand at such interesting domains. Nowadays SM is kept on her toes looking for a picturesque scene that could be captured in her Nikon/Canon to be interpreted as abstract or real piece of art. Some of her masterpieces have been the stray dogs of her colony, random clouds, thirsty birds, and dirty kids! In a recent telephonic conversation between both the Maamis (after a time gap of more than 2 weeks), they touched upon the usual topic of fashion, brand consciousness and dressing sense of today's generation (they obviously considered themselves as aliens!). Both of them took pride in recognizing the fact that somehow they identify themselves with Kurtas and that 70% of their wardrobe is full of th...

The Path I fear to tread...

There is a path I fear to tread. I know it would not lead me to my destination. But it is enticing me. I am divided into two schools of thought. One says, "listen to your heart", and the other says, "stay focussed on your goal". I am trying to help others come out of their gloom. But who will rescue me from this mire! I encounter unknown emotions and distorted personalities. I don't know how to deal with both. I feel lost in this new world. But I know I am strong enough to come out of this web...I am hopeful.

Being a girl...

Ever asked a girl how does it feel being of the female gender? Now you would say when I never asked a guy, what is so special being a girl? I would say, it wouldn't have been if the Indian society wouldn't been a male chauvinistic society. People say it is the weaker sex, the reason being that we are dependent on our male counterparts for leading our lives. Although it has been proved wrong by many bold females by challenging and going against the generally accepted rules and regulations for girls, there are still several areas, where the battle is still on. Now without getting into the details of "Equality for Women in society" issue, I would take the case of one my friends. Let me call her Ms. M. Now this girl, like all my friends, is a highly confused but simple and modest (to an extreme) girl. She hasn’t had a boyfriend in her 22 yr long life. But is now developing feelings for a guy on whom she first had a crush (is it called puppy love??). Ok..looks simple. But...
