Happiness is like a butterfly!

 Being happy is a very personal thing; it 

has really nothing to do with anyone else. Esther Hicks. 


It's a step that we have to take forward on our own. Little things can bring happiness too! We don't have to always win the lottery or score 10/10 or win competitions to be happy. Once we decide in our head and mind, we can be happy in any situation. 


Happiness is the one thing we all seek in life, yet it's tough to define! 

But Nathaniel Howthorne has beautifully described it. 

Happiness is like a butterfly; it is always out of reach when pursued, but if you sit quietly, it may land on you! 


We get a chance to live only once, so, as they say, do what makes you happy, and I would add, be with whoever makes you feel so.

Do not wait for something to happen; the best time to be happy is always 'NOW'. 


Ahh! Am I sounding like some guru or philosopher? Well, I don't mean to. But from life's experiences, good and bad, I have come to the conclusion that sobbing over futile matters and wasting this precious time we have in our hands by keeping on looking back to dig into more and more sorrow from yesteryears is in vain.


When you know you have the power to choose what to "accept" and what to "let go", it becomes easier to make peace with the past and take that step towards happiness.





Create your own happiness rather than looking for it elsewhere. 


The less you care about what others think, the happier you will be! 


Keep reminding yourself—I was smiling yesterday, I am smiling today, and I will keep smiling tomorrow. Happiness is a state of mind. Yes, it's how you look at things. 


"When it rains, look for rainbows, and when it is dark, look for stars!"  Oscar Wilde. 


In life, there are always so many reasons to be happy. Be happy not because everything is great but because you see something great in everything. You have kids you can adore and scold and mould. You have a choice of what you can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You have a family. You have a cosy, safe house to live in. You have good friends. You have a job, a hobby, a creative side. Isn't it a sufficient reason to smile and be eternally grateful? 

Being sad, angry and depressed all the time doesn't really help. You keep slipping into the abyss of grief. Positivity is a clue to the treasure hunt of bliss in life, is what I feel. 


Remember, "happy girls are the prettiest". (There is no feminism here.) You can change the gender and read the 

Being happy isn't rocket science. You just have to decide deep down in your heart and see how things change for the good. 


Visit the places that make you happy and meet the people that add to your happiness.

I love the oceans-they make me calmer. I can sit on the shore for long hours, just watching the waves come and go. It makes me happy! I enjoy the raindrops and the greens they produce; the smell of the earth; it makes me happy! Find out what makes you happy!




Thoughts that you think, things that you say and your actions - when all of this is in harmony - you sure are going to be happy.

Decision of being happy is what matters. So commit to your happiness, as, "Being happy never goes out of style!" ~ Lilly Pulitzer.

Perfect family is a myth.

 Perfect family is a myth.... When the members laugh and giggle, They share the stories of their success and struggle, When kids in the house smile as they play, When, together the family eats and prays...... The elders are given respect, Such family has delightful prospect, Grand kids listen to tales from grandparents, Lullabies are sung, every night, inherent..... Happy faces are seen in imperfect frameworks, Holding onto each other tightly, gains some perks, Mistakes are meant to happen but everyone owns them, Not blaming each other and causing mayhem..... Can you help me? Isn't a strange question to ask, Nor is it inferior to seek help to complete task, Together, is how people are bound, Close knit, is best fit that sounds..... Family gets together for photographs, once in a while, There's chaos to line up and smile, Who stands where? And who sits next to whom, Total mess it is, but a piece of heirloom...... Traditions are carried forward, Sometimes willingly, sometimes awk...

Which diagonal lane?

 What should I wear? The most customary question that haunts every woman. And it was our school reunion after, nearly 20 years. So I had to look my best. It's a different high that you get when you are confident among the school friends and classmates, whether it's carrying yourself dignified enough or it's conveying that you've attained a position for yourself. Specially to the ones, you used to compete with. When, I never compromised on my rank in school, how could I compromise on my appearance and presentation to the same set of classmates? So I picked up an elegant dress and accessories to match. And Vollaa! I was ready to go. Driving your own car to the venue is dope on another level. I didn't know the locality so I switched on the maps. The 'Map lady' started with her instructions, in that monotonous voice. And let me tell you, the way this foreign woman pronounces Indian names of roads, it's sometimes hilarious. You've to keep looking down, zo...

Longing for December!

Image
Those chilly winds.... Those cold nights..... Those pellucid skies.... Those snowy aisles.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... The warmth of the quilts, The cosiness of hugs.... Sipping some hot coffee, Flavours of vanilla, chocolate and hazelnuts...... I long for that December, I dream and always remember...... Silent nights, Long walks.... Quick bites, Short talks.... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... Birthdays, Holidays, Christmas and New years, Celebrating with friends, close ones and dears.... Love the wintry weather, Wrapped up in a sweater....... I long for that December, I dream and always remember..... JUI.
