Not in a substance one can find
Not in the nadir of nirvana mind
Not in spirituality of any kind
Happiness, simply, is in our daily grind!


Study, Play or simple chat too
Cook, Clean, or take care of few
Brush, Bathe or Be it the Loo
Learn to enjoy whatever you do!


Anger, Anxiety, Depression or fear
Love, Pleasure, Sorrow or tear
Emotions are the tastes of life
Learn to enjoy even if some are rife!


Income, Expenditure, Gain or Loss
Prosperous, Penniless, Priceless or Trash
Parents, Friends, Spouse or in-laws
Learn to enjoy their fits and flaws!


Cricket, Cinema or the Television shows
Ever wonder why we enjoy them most..?
Make your ‘Mind’ a spectator sitting close
Not the player feeling all the woes..


Happy Birthday Dear..

I had dedicated these thoughts to my daughter on her 15th Birthday
 
Nice poem for a child..

But now let's hit reality.


Some in a substance(abuse) they can find
Some in the nadir of nirvana mind
Some in spirituality of the weird kind
Happiness, actually,is really far behind


Study, Play or video chat too
Cook, Clean, without a maid some do,
Brush, Bathe..why talk about the loo,
Learn to understand whatever you do!


Anger,Anxiety Depression or fear
Love, Pleasure, Sorrow or tear
Emotions are the waste of life
Learn to enjoy without these my dear.


Income, Expenditure, Gain or Loss
Prosperous, Penniless, Priceless or blotched,
Parents, Friends, Spouse or in-laws
Learn to treat everyone as outlaws.


Cricket, Cinema or the Television shows
Ever wondered why we enjoy them most..?
Cos there is betting,violence and item number flows,
So be the player and win the game as passion grows.
 
It is liking two lists - wish list and reality list. Post #1 is a wish list and certain additions made in post #2 is reality list. With the amount of exposure our children have (especially children from 12 to 25, it is essential for them to understand both the lists. Also, it is essential that 'wish" should not look like Dream list and reality should not become a list for spreading neaivity.

Actually it all depends on one's experience..

I would like in particular to draw attention to these four lines..

I wrote that not with an intention of wish or dream.

I think it is extremely vital for people to learn to enjoy what they do. Only those people who enjoy what they do would be happy. (whatever it is)

Others will spend their life cribbing.. It is the hard reality of life..

Dear Sir,

We get the message..it's like saying that "be in this world but do not let the world be in you..be like the lotus leaf that does not get wet with water droplets on it"
 
Dear Bigthinkg,

But actually when we watch a world cup football game..when we are supporting our favorite team sometimes we almost get chest pains too.

I still remember in 1986 World Cup Finals between Argentina and Germany..I was so tensed during the match cos I wanted Argentina to win and only when they won I felt my life come back to me.

So spectators too do get affected seeing matches.
