happiness :)

When i was a kid i used to wonder why cant there be a life which was picture perfect.. where there are only goodies .. .... why cant i be good looking.. with shapy teeth (have crooked ones), first rank in the class.. why not a caramilk or try me chocolate in the lunch box(5 star was a dream)... why cant my parents attend parents day functions or parents teacher association meetings.. why cant i have the scented eraser, why should my father take us both in his cycle rather than scooter .... gosh when i look back so much of wants.. .....( Gosh sudhi.. ur cribbing... guess i have to grow up still)

but happiness plenty i got... coz small things is where hapiness really is.... whenever my whys used to be answered in positive... like getting chocloates from my granny from mumbai whenever she used to come down... going to hotel Diana once in a year... ( gosh i used to discuss about the big dilkush icecream with my freinds for months together.... though they used to eat there often..), when my teacher called me cute like mickey ( i thought then .. that was some compliment..)...

Over a period of time i have started believing that there is nothing called picture perfect...

and perfectness for me is boring..... ( thats why i chose auditing :) as a profession.. for giving creative solutions.. ) ... beauty of life lies in imperfectness... the efforts or the path taken to achieve makes it more beautiful that the goal itself...

hapiness is always a perception and depends on the level of contentment that we wish to achieve...... At the end of the day every person likes have food and have a good tensionless sleep.. be it on a mat, or a cotton bed or kurlon mattress or a Feather mattress.... what matters is the mind.. not the money and the position.. those are incidental.... if we can define simple contentments and go for friction less life.. the happiness will always be there.. either on a good sleep... or a small tour we go with freinds or family... or the chicken kebab u eat.... with a pint beer..:)
