Welcome Happiness into your life!

Share

Happiness is a state of the mind. The ultimate aim of all is to achieve happiness in every aspect of our life. The best way to seek happiness is to give it to people around you. This creates a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. You are at peace with yourself and people around you. It is said that “It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown.”

Why do we have stress balls with smileys, why is every advertisement showing love and happiness with all the primary colors, why does every ad show a child or kid with a happy and uncomplaining mother? Because these create a positive energy and most of all honesty…Honesty is a virtue, which attracts us towards it making our lives much simpler. Children speak the truth, it may put you in an easy situation but that’s the beauty of being a child. Purity and innocence describe them.


Happiness is when you see a baby sleeping peacefully, happiness is when you look up at the stars in the sky, happiness is when you lend a helping hand to those in need, happiness is expressing love to your dear ones, happiness lies within you…

A silent prayer or a wish can make your day calm and serene. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs states self-actualization as the highest aim of all mankind. To reach this state, we need to move up the pyramid fulfilling the physiological, security, social, and esteem needs.

This isn’t as easy as it seems. Determination, integrity and a powerful personality will make you achieve success in all aspects of life.

Keep smiling and do pedal your bicycle of life with great energy and enthusiasm, spreading joy and cheer :))

Men will be men!

Share

We want to take public transport, why? Because it reduces the need to get your own vehicle, traffic jams and it’s inexpensive...

But, traveling by the bus can be disastrous for a woman! This may sound like and old topic to write about but trust me it happens every day and women just zip their lips!

A man sitting in ladies seat is akin to victory! I would like to narrate an incident a 'bus incident'. I was traveling by the bus (which I do rarely, but need to in order to save money). The last ladies seat had just one lady sitting beside the window. This shameless man happily parked himself. I was just there waiting for a seat. I looked at him and said 'Ladies Seat’; he got up feeling not very embarrassed.

I was proud of myself and was feeling good :)) but the girl next to me got down at the next stop. Now what? All the men were vying for that seat! I didn’t budge. One of the men asked me to push in. I again said 'Ladies Seat'. They began to talk among themselves and express frustration.

I just couldn't sit there any longer. The seat in front of me was empty, I immediately went and sat there. Two shameless men sat there in the ladies seat like they had won the battle!

I was so proud of myself but eventually those uncivilized men won the battle. The problem also lies with women; they don’t have the guts to ask what is theirs. There were so many women who were standing who could have grabbed the seat next to me but they chose not to. Why? Only because men will be men!

Fight for your rights and when you have got it, make use of the rights given to you. It's not just about getting a seat in the bus but it’s about who you can be!
