Life has taken a dull route these days. I am wondering how can I bring about a change.
What is it that will bring me happiness? People say,
"Do things which make you happy!!"
Excuse me..... I couldn't sort of agree. What is it that will that make me happy?
Is it reading books? Or dining out with friends? Or getting fun-doo scores in my tests or winning a debate or a National Competition? Dunno...none of these...one of the options that I have not mentioned is helping friends and people close by...But unfortunately, I have tried doing that too. helped my friends do errands related to daily life, with their work in college societies, and arranging get togethers with school friends. But nothing really seems to be working. May be its time for me to visit slums and experience the true taste fo Social Service and get into the shoes of Mother Teresa.
I happened to grab this book called Secrets of Relationships and in this book I chanced upon a line: Happiness is not in objects outside....its there right inside you. Yes, a re-iteration of what Buddha had said ( Karan, my awesome senior in college, had told this to me-Buddha said: There is no reason for happiness, only sadness has a reason. So stop looking for happiness outside)
And just an hour before I had surfaced over these lines, I had updated my facebook status thanking my friends from school days for a wonderful weekend. After I logged out, I wondered, what a person would think after reading it...I went out with my friends, I chatted, we saw a movie??
And just to warn you, nothing of this sort had happened. I met Shagun, Smriti and Mehul separately, and not for more than half an hour and in that too, we hardly talked. But their presence stirred in me pleasant memories from the past, the trust that we had shared then and which was spilling from their presence even today, when we were separated for months ranging to numbers like 12!!!
I was too lazy to think of an idea for a new blog post. But it was one of my friend's taunts thrown at me for not writing regularly and thus wasting the space that he had reserved for my blog's URL on his blog, that prompted me to write. By the way, I hate him taunting me and he will feel all the more encouraged to do so when he reads this part of the post. But I like to be transparent!!!
To end from where I had begun....the line needs to be reformed-Do things which make you happy...!!
Any suggestions?
