HAPPINESS

We all chase happiness in our lives yet it is present in every moment that we live.

It can be as simple as a beautiful ray of sunshine lighting up the dust particles in the air as it finds it's way into the house, through the ventilator or open window; the open laugh of your child; being touched by a thoughtful gesture of a loved one; the recounting of a long forgotten childhood memory with one's mom; seeing a coloured bloom, blossoming in one's potted plants; sipping a hot cup of tea on a wintry morning to wrap your cold hands around or a glass of cold & freshly made nimbu paani on a hot summer's day; lying down at the end of a tiring day and feeling the strain ebb away from your body; just talking to an old friend... the list is endless.

Life is simple and it is only we who complicate things. It is just a simple choice. Whether we choose to rejoice in the moment or not.
