My concept of happiness

A sweet today calls for nothing but enjoyment and relishing of it. My concept of happiness lies in enjoying anything and everything that comes forth. That makes one find happiness in very small things like seeing the shades of the horizon at sunrise, smelling a beautiful rose in the garden, seeing a baby's smile, relishing my favorite dish or may it be even playing hopscotch with one's younger sibling. Indeed there's so much happiness while having a hot cup of tea on a cool morning, or to meet one's best friend or even helping one's mother in her chores. There is a lot of happiness even in enjoying games, studies and work by one's own will. Pessimists say that sorrow has uncountable forms but they fail to realise that happiness has even more manifestations. By enjoying all the aspects of life, we become happy, and this in turn, develops a positive outlook towards life. This happiness also doesnt stop us, but in turn, boosts us to work harder, be more focussed, and by default...to be happier. Life is a gift given to s by Him, and we shall be using it to the maximum only when we enjoy everything that it offers.

Afterall, God is.. of small things !

Enjoyment

It's not enough to watch the rain to know what it is.. Go ahead... feel it.. sense it... Dance in it, forgetting the couture... and then you'll really know what rain is..
When comes the wind, dont just stand and pass a lame, stupid comment as for how nice it feels... just go ahead closing your eyes and spreading your arms...
And here comes the wind to hug you and blow you off into ecstacy...
Go and climb the mountains... Tramp and fall... but rise high... And when you reach the top, you know what it means to be 'over and above all'...!

India In The New Millenium

Now as the new millenium commences, a different form of world is uploaded.This enhanced world starts from the silicon chip smaller than an ant to the myths of the ever-expanding universe.And as the scope for development increase, India has made its mark... politically, powerfully, intellectually and spiritually !

Back in 1947, when India won independence, it had merely become a free country. It had no great asset, in fact, it was like some backward African country, totally looted of wealth, with lack of resources, wide social and economic gaps which seemd impossible to be bridged, as also with a status as good as 'bankrupt' from thw World Bank. But not even a century has passed, that India has regained her former status of a golden sparrow. She is now firm in all the fields of power, politics and resources. She has made a witty use of her unually excess population. By increasing industries and encouraging entrepreneurs, she also gave the daily bread to crores of jobless youth. More work led to higher prosperity. Thus, slowly but steadily gaining power, today India stands tall in the world, with global eyes focussed on her and her strategies. The most successful democracy as she is, India now stands as the first country to successfully face the countries of the world, considering all of them as her friends. Even in times of calamities like the tsunamis, India politely rejected international help and proved its newly gained competency and self-sufficience.

India is gaining a powerful stand in the main economic sector too. The sensex has quadrupled in just a matter if 5 years, which undoubtedly is amazing for a country's development. If such continues the development, it is estimated that India would take over the USA by 2020.!! The main share goes to the emerging IT sector. India also plays the proud motherland of the 26 of the world's 729 billionaires !

India has always, and so also is currently been playing the role of a giver. Not only in terms of humanity, but also for spirituality, unity and morality. Though the external lifestyle of Indians has adapted to the changing globe, their genes have not. Indians still value feelings. They do not count their living only fot money or fame but mainly for their own loved ones, their society who made them, the national personalities who inspired them, their country for whom their blood urges and also for their respect for one another. The rich Indin culture is the root of their mental strength. Indians have made it possible for India, the honourable postion, from the earlier one that of a helpless shackled prisoner; and this has been attained only through untiring efforts.
At the golden hour of India's independence, ie, on 15th August 1947, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had quoted, "Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny. And now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge; not wholly or in full measure, but substantially... At this hour, when the world sleeps, India awakes to life and freedom !!"
And so did India, by the virtue of her thousand glorious sons ! Now we pledge to carry on the above promise, to redeem it to full measure... to bring India to high lights, to create an aura of her culture, to create a majesty of her existence, and to create the India-of your-and-my dreams !
So, as our motherland creates a place in history, and takes charge of the new millenium, let us all come together and dream high, strive hard, aim great...!
When something high is aimed, a percent of it is gained...
And afterall, low aim is a crime, right?

Jai Hind !

Every once in a while, when you sit in the window, just 7 soreys above ground level, thinking of actually what to think upon, and you fnally know what you are supposed to be thinking.. It's just those thoughts about whatever happens around you grip you, and close so.. and never seem to release you. You practically are thinking what to think but those thoughts, and nothing comes into your focus except those very thoughts you are trying to get rid of..
Today itself, I was chatting to this friend of mine whom I met about 7 or 8 years. We were friends together, but ways parted, and we found each other after these long years, so it was rather exciting to speak to him. Strangely enough, we'd matured into teens from tweens, and he asked me,"Ojas do you think I have changed?"
Now many of you would rate it as a really stupid question, considering that 7 or 8 years do make a hell of a difference... But folks, wasn't that an important one as well?
Yes, we have both changed. He, in his ways, and I,in mine. But hasn't he left a memory of what he was years back, in the realms of my mind? Similarly, I too, have left an impression of what I was about 7 or 8 years back in his mind. And with 1 question of his, I realise how much have I changed.. How much have my surroundings changed.. How much have people around me changed !

I remember wearing green shirt on yellow pants, and blue earrings, something that's a strict no-no now[unless you're a model flaunting a Rohil Bal] ! I remember when a 50 paise Halls would excite a pound of my adrenaline, but now even the huge mulp of Ferrero Rocher does nothing to me ! I remember when my best friend had tied me a rakhi for a friendship day, and I flaunted it for seven days in due honour to my friend, but now I have my hands full with friendship bands, all worthless as none of them is my true friend ! I remember how great an experience it was to have a small Vadilal ice-cream cup on my own, but now the routine of gellato makes it tasteless too! I remember coming back from first day of school, and narrating the episode 10 times separately to each of my family members, but now I return from college each day, only to study and get lost in my routine ! I remember lighting a diya, and pondering how beautiful it was, but now even the Crystal Hall seems less !

And yes.. It's really shocking !
Thanks, dude !

We really must all turn to what we earlier were.. simple, innocent kids, having more sense than what we have now !

Heavenly status..!

Indeed...I have fallen in love with life, trying to compose a new symphony of the curled strings of this beautiful life... The morning sun comes, filling me with a freshness, that reminds of the gentle breeze tossing off a white skirt !!The careful art of nature finds the masterpiece in our hearts..!!Oh !! How beautiful is man !! And his tender feelings... His childlike nuances about life seem so filthy when you see this real beauty !!The fickle mind awes at external selves, but how can it so carelessly miss the handsomeness inside !!How could I too, miss all this? And that too, with all its enchantments??But as this year commenced... I see all pink and red... with its dashes and hues and tints... And lo !! What a beautiful scenario !!

And slowly behind this PC screen... I blush scarlet ! Only, to confess the reason for the above written fact..
It's all a One Man Show !
