Measuring happiness!!

Hello everyone.

It's been a long time since I posted anything on this portal. Today it seemed like an appropriate time.

Last night wasn't very promising for me this week, probably due to the weather in Mumbai. Though I certainly believe that this was not the only reason. I was not happy at the time I slept. I'm still trying to figure out the reason why.

Why should a guy like me be unhappy? What is it that's missing from my fairytale like life? I have a job, in the city I love, in the company I adore, among not so charming people (I am not indifferent from them) who never try to hurt me. Summer is definitely a concern, but most of my day is inside an air cooled building, so no worries there as well. I have friends I can talk to. I am associated with music and doing ok there as well. What else?

I have a bike, and can run away to any location in Mumbai at any time I want. Security is not a problem, what worse can happen? I have TV (that's a disappointment, as most of the stuff they show is crap, including commercial cricket). I have internet( where I waste most of my time socialising with people I don't know or care about... Sorry about that). What else?

The stuff that I mentioned till now, none of them really contributes to me being an unhappy person (please pardon my grammar, I've been told that I lack in communication skills). Maybe for a few hours but not in general.

By now I've spent at least 30 minutes wondering why I'm not happy, what interests me is that you still wonder what's next? This brings me to the actual question. What are you unhappy about? What is it that concerns you the most when you are alone? Is it loneliness itself? Or is it something else?

Everyone among us has some or the other concerns in his or her not so ideal life. But that's the whole story. Life is not ideal. If you think that you are unhappy, it's mostly because you found happiness in other people's lives and tried to relate why you don't have it. Well, when those people see you, they find something that they need but not have. A quality that stands you out, that makes you unique.

So don't be unhappy because of what you don't have. But be happy with what you have and use it to empower yourself to be happier than yesterday...

As I end this post, let me tell you that no matter how unhappy I was yesterday, I slept well and woke up early to view the rising sun from my living place. And trust me, it definitely made me happy today.

Pretty little things....


Yours truly...
