Happiness is Cheap yet Priceless

Image
I find a million narration on the word happiness. With cliche' lines like " happiness is a state of mind " and ''happiness has got nothing to do with materialistic things"  my idea of happiness, only got more and more distorted and confusing.  If it was so, Why do I feel happy after buying gadgets of my   desire ? Also, Why after much struggle I am unable to lift my mood when someone upsets me when  all the while I kept convincing myself inside,  I have to be happy. It did not make me happy that way. Only time served the purpose till I laughed a mouthful the next time. And if that is the pragmatic reality behind the secret code of happiness why not accept it that way rather than in an impractical way.  Although I have some faith on the universal cliches of happiness but today i am not in a mood to see life that way. Lets taste the paradoxical thought of materialistic world.  Yes I am not bit ashamed to accept that material add happiness. I...

#WashBucketChallenge

Image
As the various civilizations evolved around the world, the rule of fittest to survive shaped the life style and responsibility in social life. Task that were physically tough in nature were shared by men where as the ones that needed patience and relatively less physical strength were taken up by women with few exceptions of course.  But it is difficult to understand why the task of doing laundry predominantly fell to women only. Being a healthy man I myself find it difficult and tiring doing the laundry. All though washing machines have added convenience but still the mere thought of washing clothes can make one tired.  I am thankful that my upbringing at home was such that as men we were always encouraged to do laundry as and when possible. I developed this task as a way of life and  as a to-do point of weekend task. After my marriage, I educated my wife about precautions and washing care for different types of fabric. The cotton whites are to be respected the mo...

Missed Call Mania

Image
Mobile phones have been the greatest revolution in the era of communication. The complete world has become a neighborhood. You might be in India and still remain in 24 hrs contact with a friend in Sydney through calls or chat and that too at a cost of a burger. Thanks to apps like Whatsapp ! The continents are just a ping away. Life is close, simple and convenient.  With the advent of mobile phones came the most affordable means of communication called "Missed Call". A missed call only meant the call that went unattended. But that just remained a terminology. And Missed calls kept touching different sections of society in different manners and finally took a form of a language that is understood by different users with their own different meanings.  In 2003, when calls were expensive and we were poor students, a missed call had  meanings like I am waiting outside your house or meet me at the bus stop. It was a means of virtually knocking a friends door ...
