Happiness is a way of life

-


Everyone wants to be happy, But only few know what happiness is all about. 

We have been taught that happiness is out of materialistic life. I was told if you score high you get a seat in engineering so that you can be happy. During engineering asked to score high, so that you get a good job and you will be happy. Then after getting job do I happy?  Not at all. Then my ambition is to earn more, so that I can stay in good house and also can own a small moped vehicle. Worked hard one year and my salary was increased. I was happy for few days but again incomplete feeling  and started looking for my happiness in buying Yamaha bike and moving to bigger rented house, Is the journey stopped?  no, not at all. The new target was buying a car and then own house and so on. My mind has been programmed to hunt for the happiness and was in the race to find happiness with outer materialistic achievements.

I believed that, achieving a target can bring happiness. It took long time to realize that, I am only postponing the happiness. We are all in an illusion that others, with more materialistic achievements are happier than us. Materialist happiness only gives momentary happiness and also boosts the ego within us. This in turn keeps you incomplete and unsatisfied. Happiness should come from within. Happiness is a way of life. If you are happy for the reason you are in trouble, because the reason can be taken from you. Even thing’s don’t appear to going perfectly well outwardly, it is still possible to experience the sincere happiness. Because ,It is our inner feeling that creates happiness

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when he goes back.

33. Count your blessings not the troubles

 Count your blessings not the troubles  In my journey of life and the lessons gleaned from personal experiences that I aspire to share in the book I am endeavoring to publish, one profound revelation stands out. It revolves around our tendency to attribute our challenges and discontent to external factors—the country we reside in, the state and city we belong to, the educational institutions we attended, or even our family lineage. We extend this blame to the very fabric of our society, including our parents and their predecessors. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the prosperity or adversity of a nation isn't solely determined by geographical location or available resources. Take Japan, for instance—a nation with limited arable land and abundant mountains. Despite these seemingly unfavorable conditions, Japan has emerged as a global economic powerhouse, relying on its innovative prowess rather than abundant resources. Notably, intellectual and racial differenc

"Covid 19 Pandemic: Embracing Life's True Values" The COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, forcing us to reevaluate our lives, our priorities, and our values. In the face of uncertainty, the pandemic taught us invaluable lessons that we must carry forward. These lessons are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder of what truly matters in life.  Life's Fragility:   "In the crucible of the pandemic, the fragility of life became painfully evident, etched into the fabric of a personal tragedy that unfolded within the circles of my closest friends. The story began when a dear friend's husband, on a business trip to Bangalore, found himself entangled in the clutches of COVID-19. The hotel where he stayed instructed him to leave immediately and go to the hospital. However, finding a good hospital was challenging, and he sought my help. An urgent plea for help echoed from both Bangalore and Delhi, where his wife anxiously reached out to me, seeki
