suddenly i wonder why happiness is such a short term concept...i mean its not that i haven't been happy in the last few days but if somebody reads my posts thats the last thing that will strike anyone...
do i like to paint a sad picture of my life...i would certainly deny that!
what explains this best is the fact that happiness is a momentary concept...and those who remain happy all the time are striving for it every moment (with or without conscious efforts)...while i live that happy moment while it is there...be happy but when time comes to write... the not-so-happy things stand out...one good reason to write them is to get it out of my system...
not-so-happy moments if left unexpressed can make me a not-so-happy person...and i certainly wouldnt want to be that.
so i would talk about happiness for a change...those instant gratification moments (like somebody said in the mess today...such moments are the only ones that matter)...at a level i agree with him.
let me see how many of such moments i have had recently...
- good food tops the chart of such I-G-Ms...good food can never ever fail to cheer me up...hehehe
- then there has been these certain books that i ve read in the recent times...which i have identified so much with myself that it can be said to be my I-G-Ms...i mean if a stranger understanding me so well can give me so much happiness it gladdens me...and gives me a hope that i am not that complicated...:)
- characters like Lizzie and Mr. Darcy made me happy...:) series like SaTC give me I-G-Ms
- sometimes songs do the trick...in the recent past they have many a times picked up my spirits
- oh yes...cycling...its difficult for people to understand what makes me so happy while i am at it...guess the fact that i am in complete charge :)...and tennis and basket ball...even though i hardly can call myself a player there...but sports have an immense degree of involvement and i love being so involved in something that makes me forget everything else in life
- beautiful mornings...make me happy...yes @MICA especially...rain and thunderstorms have their own way of getting me alive and happy
- winning the first prize by virtue of being the only participants who would care enough to wake up and be part of the flower decoration contest at 8 am - definitely a big high :D
- sharing secrets with momma dear as if she was my first friend is also something that gladdened my heart immensely
- that a dear friend is planning a surprise for another one is also happy news
- not caring for the world while dancing through the night is one more thing that added some sunshine to my life very recently
so my point is that these happy moments are not in short supply in my life :)...i am sure if i continue i can write few more
:)
but these are momentary...last for a very short span of time...and hence the need to write them takes a backseat somehow...
and so i paint the blue picture of my yellow life!
yes its mostly yellow...i just cant handle the little blues...
kindly dont mistake me for a true blue person.
i, for one, wouldnt be agreeable to that.
