Happiness is sleeping on your mother’s lap for eternity
The lick of your dog on your nose
The touch of a rain drop on your cheek
The gentle breeze flirting with your locks
A tap on your shoulder when you can’t face the world
Winning over an argument with a crinkle on your nose
A tear filled smile on your beloved’s face
Letting your friend win - by losing that race
That surprise waiting for you when you switch on the lights
A nod of agreement when every one’s hostile
Stealing that last choco pie from the refrigerator and then acting innocent
Helping an aged person while crossing a busy road- preventing an accident
Successful struggle for that last ticket of a blockbuster
Helping your dad wash the car when its pouring with not a fluster
Allowing your sibling to drive for a few miles alone
Bumping into your kindergarten friend after 20 years in the unknown
A long tiring day sealed with a kiss
Going over the same old song everyday- without a miss
Spotting a shooting star on a starry night
Searching for a face in the crowd - far away from sight
Cuddling next to your pet and going off to sleep
Waking up to a beautiful morning and go bow peep
Being called your dad’s favourite
Wearing a sweater mom had knit
All these and many more joys surround our world
And yet we all are in its pursuit..
In the pursuit of HAPPINESS…

"People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be."

Hi Sandhya,
ReplyDeleteI have used Abraham Lincoln's quote to emphasise on the fact that - we humans keep waiting for good things to happen to us so that we can be happier, be more at peace. But what we don't realise is that small drops of rain on ur cheek, a pat, a wink, a smile can give u joy beyond comaprison. So its up to us- humans, to find happiness in all the small things that happen to us. The last 2 paras also talk of small sweet things your loved ones do for you, which you might not notice just now, but when you look back, it feels so special. And the memories make you feel happier.
Thank you so much for your comments :)
