In pursuit of Happiness

The moment we enter this world we are always in quest of something or the other...Be it food, clothing, money, attention or as simple as happiness...So what does it take to be happy..When can we say that a person is happy & when does a person stop being happy....Yesterday I saw an old man buying a balloon for possibly his grandchild...The expression on the child said it all...The expression was as if he had conquered the world..I guess on seeing that even the grandfather could not contain the smile on his face...for the child balloon meant the world but for the grandfather it was his grandchild's happiness...So when does this happiness change into sudden sorrows...What happens that suddenly from being so happy we become so gloomy..I guess humans can never be content..human life for me runs on fuel of quest...In this quest everyone tries to better whatever they themselves have achieved till now...and mind you every human is capable of achieving more than what he has achieved previously...but for me one falters when he tries to achieve something more than what someone else has achieved... for me its this struggle to achieve that causes the temporary gloom and its the same struggle that makes this happiness so sweet when the goal is achieved...There is nothing that can be achieved without any struggle..In case human started achieving everything without any struggle then whats the difference between them and GOD...

When you sit alone after 10 yrs...you should smile with content...and your heart should sing for what you have done !!!!

Aim High but Shoot for Reality

Right from our childhood days we have been brought up by asking us to aim high...But what they dont prepare us is how to deal with the dissapointments...Higher the aim higher are the chances of falling...
They say everthing has a time and only time can tell you if are going to hit the bullseye or not..So what exactly is the right time?? All we can do is fire in the dark incase it works out then hola "It was da rite time" and incase we missed its either "too fast" or " too slow". Even if we have missed I would say its better to have fired "too fast" than being lethargic and watching the oppurtunity go in the drains. Either of the cases the feeling of having lost all chances of what you had dreamed and wanted so dearly sure SUCKS !!!
I recently did the mistake of aiming too high and firing in the sky, I should have known only you dont decide your future, there are other factors which influence it or like people say it just wasnt my time. I do not regret that fact that I aimed high because having those dreams day in and day out sure gave me a purpose to life..what is regret is I fired knowing that the target is out of reach...Its like one can see the stars in the sky but it doesnt mean he can touch them...Now that I have realised that I cannot touch the stars...I have lost all the pursose and beliefs which used to drive me...

So what is it next after falling in the drains?? For one it should be Get up then....should you decide on a new realistic dream and try to achieve it or should you aim for the same target hoping that your time would come?? I would no doubt continue to hope that my time would come!!Just cant let my dreams vanish so fast !!

I've made up my mind...To live in memory of the lonesome times...It's useless to say...So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
