In pursuit of happyness with a 'y'.

We wake up, *yawn* look around, think aloud, "Why in the name of god do we have a Monday?!?"

The answer is really simple... We had a great weekend, now it's time to put our pants on, get back to "work."

What if everyday was a Sunday. We do something innovative, feel " happy", look at education from an artistic point of view and not from an institutional one. Have a picnic, catch up with an old friend, say something nice to your loved one, and just feel.... the vibes, the excitement, the joy of being blissfully happy....

No worries, no deadlines, no pressure, nothing at all.

You call that paradise? Well...

You see actually the human brain can be defined simply in a single word-'complicated'! It fails to record text-book material(it being in a formal language...), but it remembers that under no circumstances should you snowboard in a pair of shorts.

It lives in this anticipation, just waiting... for "it" to happen. That single incident that will make all of your attempts and struggles till date seem purposeful...(the big bounce!!!!!... that is correct terminology, I suppose...)

TEENAGE:- We live in this world where we're exploring ourselves. Live life to the fullest, study hard, party harder...We strive for perfection. We achieve. Prove our point of view. Only to get back home, think about something that occurred, did not go down well with us, curse the person, feel sorry, for this single impulse. Think to ourselves about all these ties we had with the person, how he/she let us down, "All this; for what?" OR "What a piss-off, made me really hate him/her."

The real "happy" person would be, who has just no qualms, no grudges, nothing against anyone, for that matter, even himself/herself.
He may as well have countless shortcomings but would walk up to the mirror, beam, flash himself/herself a thumbs-up, comment,"You did well today, I am proud of you, (so what if the sonofagun or miss goody-two-shoes won, we placed; didn't we?), let's get some good sleep, shall we?"

This person needs no miracles, no turning points in life, no realisations, no mind-boggling farfetched phenomena that makes him/her understand the soul purpose of "life, the universe and everything...", needs nothing but a moment.

Let's face it, falling is easy, it's getting back up that becomes the problem, we look up around us for that glimmer of hope,wishing for someone to come all enthusiastic, cheer us on, heave us up...( if you are on the list of people who need liposuction otherwise, help up is fine)
Or instead we could pretty much try our own two feet, get up, brush the dust of our shouders, get back into the game and be in the true sense of the word 'independant'.

There are no absolute inspiring happenings, what may inspire millions might just seem deplorably insipid to one.
It's grasping inspiration in anything and everything...
It's what life is and always will be.
*Wasting hours online,thinking u have a connection with someone,
*Being in a party with close friends and still feel out of place,
*Being infected with terminal cancer,
*Or just being insignificantly placed.

Whatever category you may put yourself in, be "happy". Be your own shrink once in a while.
Give yourself a boost of confidence. Act crazy. Do not give a rabbit's hindside to what people have to say about you on the negative end, when you know you've carried it off well.
Well just be a human being and providence will find its way.....in due course...:P

ive waited a long time for u to write something really good. and wat an end to the wait. brilliantly written, we0l thought-out, a little hap-hazard in presentation and the layout. but overall, mind-bowing. u surprised me.

Maximum Boy said...

i knew it. i wanted u to edit this a bit though and well im reading a lot these days.. lol... its great coming form u i must say im proud of myself

Clezevra said...

so, in that capacity, is there someone who is atually happy?

Maximum Boy said...

i'll take it as my domestic help being "happy", she hardly has money, she's a widow, has three children who she's educating so they don't turn out like her,but she has this eternal smile and a peaceful pallour spread across her face, she looks at television, is in awe, looks at the computer, has her own logic to how it works, but all in all she's got nothing to be sad about. And we teengers with lesser problems frown and throw tantrums... !!

Sneha Chandak said...

Clezevra said...

well, don't you think everyone has their own problems? you said your domestic help is happy, but obviously, you certainly don't want to be in her place, right?

Maximum Boy said...

maybe not in her place but whichever place u might me theres always a differnet way of looking at thing. havent we all heard this?

"There are no absolute inspiring happenings".. this one is grammaticaly wrong..
other than that.. its good... as in a literary piece....
the humour becomes slightly cliched sometimes.... SLIGHTLY...but all is fine otherwise
