Burst of Happiness
“Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.” – Dalai Lama
Can happiness be artificially programmed into
human beings? May be the Genome Modification Technology like the CRISPR may try
it in the future, but at least at the present moment happiness is something
that could not be ready-made, but has to come from his own actions as Dalai
Lama quoted. Sudden splattering of rain, shopping in the weekend, visiting the
loved ones, cleaning the house, getting ready for a celebration and even the blossoming
happiness with our fellow beings can give happiness to us.
So what brought happiness in me?
There are lot of things in life which brought happiness,
just like a shower in me and the first four things which peeked into my mind
when I thought about the topic is being preferred by me to describe.
Monsoon: Summer was
and will be so harsh in the places I live. Before a year I didn’t have any AC’s
in my home and have to prepare and plan myself to keep the room cool to sleep
in the night without sweating. The beginning of the monsoon brings much cheer
and once the weather forecasting predicts possibility of rain within few days,
happiness automatically percolates within me.
CL on a working day: Casual
Leaves to me are provided to refresh oneself from the sudden work pressure. But
as far as I have seen, most of my colleagues avail casual leave only to do some
other work and they categorise them as Personal work. Though these personal works
cannot be omitted, I prefer to take 50% of these Casual leaves, just to spend
time casually in house without any work. Watching discovery channel in the
regional language feeder with the window screens completely shut giving a night
feel in an afternoon is something which I love to do and brings joy all of a
sudden.
Sunday Exams: I
prefer to give lot of competitive examinations. Even if I have not prepared for
the exam, I never quit from trying it. I always felt more encouraging and
positive in attitude once I give an exam. I prefer Chennai as my centre and the
calm atmosphere, tall buildings and the just now opened shops in the early
hours of the day gives an unexplainable happiness into the mind, which in turn gives
a positive vibration to prepare further.
Reading book in Train: In a long travel, nothing better than a book can give better company.
Even the book you struggled to turn the pages, looks comfortable to read. But I
haven’t completed a book completely till date travelling in a train as most of
my journey begins in the night. However, just opening the book and peeping
along the windows gives a lot of imagination and suggestions and all these
brings a sudden happiness into the life.
