Pursuit of Happiness...

ARE YOU HAPPY??

I get a negative answer to this question from 80% people I meet. Some say just need to be happy with what I have, and some are not in a mood to think if they are happy.. !!! But the core truth is, somewhere YOU are not happy. You are earning or learning to earn someday.. You have food to eat, clothes of your choice to wear.. In fact, you have everything that is required to fulfill your needs. But you are not happy. Have you ever given it a thought WHY?? Deep down somewhere your dreams are not fulfilled... May be you want more money, you want recognition, you want good score in exams... Assume that you got everything.. All your dreams are fulfilled. Can you assure yourself that you will be happy then? Why cant we assure this? Why dont we get satisfied after achieving some dream? Is it the human behavior? So, is being UNHAPPY all the time human behavior?? I mean.. this is stupid... We are social.. We love having fun.. Then why are we not the way we are meant to be? If you feel money is everything, thats not true........... Otherwise the richest of the world would be the happiest... Its not true.. Some of my friends are not happy because they dont have a Girl.. some are not happy because they are not satisfied with their job.... LOL!!! What a pity... Some are still striving to get the job, which indeed is not gonna make them happy... Some recently broke up, some waiting for brake up.. Some crying without any reason... Its really sad... When we are together, we enjoy like hell.. We laugh... we dance... we hang out late night.. and do everything.. But .... Somewhere... the feeling of incompleteness burns from inside... A will to be something... A will to achieve the undecided.. A will... That is as thirsty as a desert.. I dont know a single friend of mine, who is happy .... There is a volcano burning in.. This "not happy" soul can take you down any day.... When this UNHAPPINESS reaches its peek, I am not sure what will happen.... I am writing all this crap because I cant talk this to anyone.. What do I tell the other person? That I am not happy? Why? Because I have a job?? Because I owe a cool bike? Because I cant play games?? Because I dont like my job??????????????????? WHY AM I NOT HAPPY??? [b] Are you Happy????????????????? Please Reply......... See ya......

My Friend!

A mail popped in... Did not seem to be of much interest to me, but as I went on reading, I realized the whirlpool we are getting into.. We... Yes.. All of us.. Busy with our day to day lives... Remember, a day was there.. We were crying not to get away from each other after the college!!! Those 4 years were our life.. We grew up to know the world in those four years.. Remember how much we enjoyed? Bunking the classes to roam around in canteen.. Hugging each other as if we met after years ...
Even some of us had fights for not spending time with each other and getting involved in other matters.. :-) Other matters.. Umm.. a better word is Love affairs.. Heh.. Silly we!!! Our day started with seeing each others.. Hurrying for getting ready for college.. Searching for clothes.. Changing them if one says "Nah.. Its not looking good... " .. Going late to first lecture everyday... Everyday!!! Commenting on the great food we ate in our hostel mess.. LOL!!!
Now it feels... How fast the days moved, man! Holy shit... Remember.. We used to climb on the guy who would come in our room for some work?? We called it "SAMUHIK"!!!! And the beds would bend and creak when 10 guys slept on it... Hahaha..
Playing computer games.. That was yet another passtime.. A few did not play well though.. ;-) Every evening some one would want to eat at the "Satpuda Hotel" and then all of us eating Chicken there...
The things are countless... The memories flood in and make me nervous guys... Where are those days?? We have learned very well in this world to swallow the memories in, and think about anything else.. These 2 years have taught this very well... Swallow all the memories, think of your work, think of your tasks - as they say... Complete them.. Log off.. Go home.. Try to avoid thinking about the old days.. Thats it.. Wait for a friday to come, and week to end.. Grab something for the weekend.. And start off with the same Monday... Schedule. meetings, business... What the HECK!!!!
We dont have enough time to reply to friends' mails?? No enough time to call each other.. Yesterday a friend sent me SMS .. Please call when you are free.. I haven't called him yet... I am THAT busy??? What is our priority?? Work! Why?? Because it pays.. I think this work is now getting on my nerves.. I dont mean don't work yaar.. I mean.. Please let US not make it our first priority...
The sweetness of our friendship still remains.. I still remember the way you laughed.. I still remember the way you yelled.. I still remember the way you laughed... The way you made out things ... The way you cheated in exams... The way you slept in night and woke up with no clothes on... I still remember everything !!! Love you FRIENDS!!!

Dedicated to all my room mates in KITS and later...!!!
