"In search of Happiness"

We are always in search of happiness , in fact we just tries to search it around us. Nomatter where are we , we alwys wants to live a "Happy Life". Today it was raining heavily in Mumbai but stil i went to class ( I raelly wonder that how i went to class I remember earlier days when even though the sky is cloudy I hardly attended the clases :)). In the recess when we came out of the class still it was raining heavily and everyone around us was talking about the ill effects of rain. From this conversation going on and everyone adding his bad experience into it , it was so easy for anyone to guess that everyone around there was so irritated of this continuous raining. Then after a while i observed a girl (she might be a research scholar) who was enjoying in this continuous raining also. She made a boat with the rough paper she has with her and was putting those paper boats in the water around the lecture hall and as the boat moves in that water the smile on her face goes on increse. People who were part of "Debate of ill effects of raining" were now also turn up and started enjoying the movement of the boat and the whole atmosphere was now much pleasant and lovable. Someone has said , " Life is 10% how we make it and 90% how we take it" . So we must learn to accept the life as it comes and enjoy our life Because Happiness is not anywhere but it is inside us.

"Girgeet"

Most of the people including us, changes there thoughts when it comes to apply the same thing for them. I just feel that human is a perfect example of changing or taking the meaning of rules or proverbs as per his convenience. When somebody dont follow the rules then we strongly argued that there should be Strict Rules so that nobody get suffers, but when our turn comes we just neglect those rules for a small leisure. At this moment I am just remembering the lesson which I studied in my school days , "Aatale aani Baherache" [ I think the author is Gangadhar Gadagil , I am not sure needs to checkout :) ]. In this lesson the author describes the incidence of getting a seat into the TRAIN. The train arrives on the station but the train was so rushy and there was not enough space inside it so the passengers inside every Boggie [Aatale] closes the door and dont allow anyone [Baherache] to come inside the Boggie. The author opposes this and argues that the train is for the public and everyone has a right to travell in it. But still noone from inside opens the door then author throughs his luggage inside the boggie and try to enter from the window , people from inside opposes but he dont listen and still try to enter in the boggie but meanwhile the Train starts and the person inside the boggie helps the author to enter the boggie, This way now author is inside the boggie i.e. he is a part of "Aatale" and as the next station arrives the author also closes the door and dont allow other passengers that is "Baherache" to enter the boggie. This is just a short depiction of how the human changes his behavior as per his convenience.
I think everybody around us is biased towards life. As Acharya Vinoba Bhave said we just see the "Vishwa-roop" and neglect the "Swa-roop". One of my relative is a politician and a corporator , I have observed many of our relatives who complains that there is not a good politician and government is not working for people but for themselves only. I am quiet astonished to see that the same people advises him to take the over advantage of his post. Sometimes I didn't understand how the same person can have these much changing views in very short span of time.



In Sane Guruji's autobiography "Shyamachi Aai" There is one incidence when after bath as there was some soil space between the bathroom and home, Shyam asks his mother to spread her sarees "Padar" on the soil so that he can come through that cloth without his clean leg being touched to soil. At this instance Shyamichi Aai (Shyam's Mother) says, "Shyam payala ghan lagu naye mhanun jasa japatos,
Tasa manala ghan lagu naye mhanun jap" [ read in marathi]
[meaning : Mother tells Shyam ," It is more important to clean the dirt in one’s mind than the dirt in the feet". ]
I strongly believes that everyone in todays world needs to think over the above statement.

"The Inner Voice"

“The only person who knows what it feels in happiness, grief and ignorant moments is the one who goes thorugh it !!. Duirng such stromy phases , the wish to have somebody does not get fulfilled and thats the greatest curse of life.

But even if you have somebody who can not understand gives a greater pain !! Beling alone is much better than that ...” V. P. Kale ( A Famous Marathi Novelist)

Sometimes we just feels that everything has came to an end or there is nothing for which we should live this life. These thoughts came to everyone's mind may be one or the other time. But one who can withstand in such moments is the real human. So one should not bother about who is with him/her and who is not, Because the principle is so simple, we alone have came to this beautiful earth and we alone have to go from this world. So one should not regret because he / she has loose some one in his / her life. Since the only thing which is permanent in this life is CHANGE. Here i would like to add in Marathi,

"Hasave Hasavave,

Jeevanas kharya arthane Jeevan Banavave,

Swarthi Jagachi Vichar na karata,

Aapanach aapale Margakraman Karave"

Even if we have seen a dream and work hard to achieve it , and Unfortunately that dream doesn't comes true still we should not think that everything is over and we should try hard for the next time. Because someone has said , "Whatever happens , happens for the Best". At this moment I am just remembering a conversation between 'Nanda' and Devadatta from a famous marathi novel of V.S. Khandekar "Amrut-vel"

One should be Happy because , " He/She is what , what he/she is"
