"You really don't drink or smoke ?"
"Yeah. I find these things suffocating. And what's the point of spending so much on something which isn't even good for health. What makes you consume them?
“Well, everyone have their own reasons but for me it is happiness. When the bitter alcohol, runs down my throat, I feel alive ."
"Strange! How can you feel happy in consuming something that kills you?" "Okay. So, what is your idea of happiness? "
"Forget it. I don't want to discuss. You will get bored."
"I won't."
"I find happiness in experiencing life. Exploring it. Feeling it's warmth in every moment. Discovering people.
When, I was a kid, I found happiness in listening bed time stories from Granny. As I grew up, it changed to playing cricket with my dad. At 15, I felt happy when someone gifted me the books I always wanted to read which I still love. At 18, it was when daddy gifted me the bike. At 20, it was when I looked at my crush. Her laughs, mischievous smiles filled me with a sense of happiness. At 22, it was when I graduated from college. I was overwhelmed to see my parents proud because of me.
Now, I find happiness in my work. I love what I do, Singing. In upcoming years, I want to help unprivileged children. I want to help them with money, with my thoughts, with my songs. That would be my idea of happiness. Marrying the woman I love and making her feel special will be my idea of happiness. Spending a star studded night, with my children watching the beautiful galaxies will make me happy. On a winter dusk, watching the snow falling on the mountains with my wife wrapped in a quilt ; that will be fascinating. Reciting poems and stories to my grandchildren will make me happy. Sharing my experience with my children who are eager to hear what I say. Don't you think that will be amazing ?
Living a simple yet contented life, is my idea of happiness. I may sound old school to you, but that is how I define happiness."
