How to say 'I am happy'? Just say it!

Why is that people blog less when they are happy? Because they have better things to do [:p]..Oh, dear fellow bloggers, please don’t be offended, I am just kidding…

I think it is because its easier to express sorrow/ thoughts in words, joy/ happiness are much more difficult to portray... In case you are wondering why am I opening up a previous thread of thought, I shall announce that I am happy these days; There are things still holding me back but I am happy….

And I wanted to write a blog expressing my 'happiness' for quite some time now but failed; so I thought I shall put it discretely 'I am happy' :)

One simple question

Dear my ego/alter ego/ soul/ heart/

One simple question has answers to almost all the problems of the world (at least at a personal level.)

"What do you want?"

So, could you please be a little considerate and answer that one.... Please..

pls...

I would do whatever is in my capability to fulfill your wish, but could you please tell me what do you wish for...

pls...

pls...

PLSSSS!!!!

...

Now!!

COULD YOU PLEASE tell me what the f***ng hell do you want in life!!!!

EEEEKKSSSS

Weakness - confront it.

They don’t say it doesn't mean they don't feel it A…. Every man/woman is allowed to be selfish but aren’t you being too selfish?

And secondly, losing your ground on the things that you yourself decided… Isn't that being 'weak' is all about?

Remember, 'Its not what you are inside but what you do that defines you'…

Alight

I thought I had forgotten to feel
but was it the warmth of your hands last night

I thought I had forgotten to see
but was it the glint in your eyes which met mine

And I thought I was happy alone
but were it you around me who set my thoughts alight

There's Many a Slip Twixt the Cup and the Lip

lets get happy

You know what, I can bloody well write 1000 times more interesting (& happier) blogs than I currently do. I realized this after reading another blog site (the best blog that I have read till date) - I mean I can throw some really neat one-liners at times [:)] but what I do instead is keep on sogging the page with my emotional melodramas. shucks A...

Take charge darling- So, what if you are completely hating your job to the point where your fat bonus is not compensationg for it; and you are 25 (and single again); and not sure what exactly do you want from life etc. - you can still be happy and 'in control'!

Hope

Dil na-umeed toh nahi, naakaam hi toh hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam, magar shaam hi toh hai

Saw Shawshank's redemption (I know I was late in doing this, but it has been on my waitlist since long). A very nice movie. The moral I would take from the movie is 'one should never let the flame of hope extinguish'. Things would be difficult, life is not supposed to be easy anyways but one should try not to let the 'inner core' be affected by the external vagaries of life. No doubt, we will learn, change and adapt but something in us should still remain the same - Not sure what this 'something' is though - Might be 'hope' - hope for 'joy', 'happiness', 'freedom', whatever one really wishes for....

Easy to preach but what about i me myself??

oh, thats the average engineer rate! My son is an MBA

Dowry. To those who think that its an 'old-world' custom, think again. It is in fact a very much prevalent 'custom' and in fact is getting even more worse in modern cities than ever before.

The richer you are, the greedier you become… And there are 'eligible' bachelors (or so they call themselves!), talking about the 'logic' in this senseless system. There are guys with distinguished educational backgrounds (reputed schools, IITs, best B-schools and so on), earnings several lakhs and still expecting 'dowry' in marriage. In fact, their educational qualifications help them push their 'rates' by another 35-50 lakh…. But mind you, no concessions for being an equally qualified working women, that is taken for granted.

Agreed, that in the olden days weddings were like treated like a trade agreement. So, there were kings marrying five times to improve relations with five different neighboring chiefs. Or, in the lower classes it was about sustenance of a grand family. But that’s no longer the case… modern marriages are supposed to be partnerships. Then why should this concept of money changing hands arise!! Is it like parents 'selling-off' their sons?? Or the sons selling themselves off?? Huh...

On a broader side of it, the practice of dowry (& the rocketing dowry rates) is one of the main reasons why a girl child is considered a burden even in economically well-off families. Stories of female infanticides are well-known; and in the affluent classes, well-accepted. As the modern Indian cities move toward nuclear families, guys don't even prefer to stay with their parents; so a girl child can actually support her parents as well as a boy can. In fact, on an average, girls are definitely much more compassionate and loving towards their parents than guys, then why this differentiation?

All of these issues find their roots in 'gender inequality'. I am not a feminist but I am an 'equalist'. I wish our education system could inculcate such basic righteous values in our children…

Tomorrow

Have you ever thought about tomorrow? I mean have you ever thought on the lines of 'What if I am not going to live till tomorrow'? How would you live your life….

That thought aside, have you ever thought about 'What do I really really want?'… I have tried asking this to myself several times but I am not getting a definite answer… and I don't like this at all [:(]

Don’t let someone become priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life

... cause if you do so, you are bound to hurt yourself very badly.
