Blog me...curiosity redefined

        "Are you happy? Is this what you wanted to do in life?" my inner voice rings the bell.           It does not matter what these folks in the outside world look for in you. It is ultimately the inner YOU that needs to be fulfilled at the last. Probably at my age (45+), yes this is what matters!        The goal isn't to competitive with others, but YOURSELF. The agenda is not materialistic pleasures anymore but SERVICE or CONTRIBUTE. With that being said, after all some of us are in the rat race to either earn money or build a career, only to realize is that all they wanted?  I see a lot of young folks following this race to make quick buck to retire early. It's their choice...no comments on it.       Do what you like and most importantly ENJOY...because YOLO. :)            

       We are what we do in our free time. It defines us, isn't it?  In the midst of this hectic life, I suppose what we do during our free time relaxes us, creates us, makes us, and even lives with us. If your job itself is your hobby, congratulations on a happy path ahead. If it is not, then it is our duty that we make sure our hobbies are fulfilling enough to make our lives richer.          Art, in any form, is considered the pinnacle of creativity. If your hobby is to be an artist for an hour a day, then we don't need a doctor for sure. Let the curiosity and imagination go wild in you.      I truly believe each hobby can teach you a skill or two that you can cherish in life. In fact, we truly get to know ourselves when your hobby itself is your passion. The learnings are immense. Imagine creating a world that is so full of life....my fantasy world is defined below: a) Making this earth greener and a happy place by clea...

This blog is inspired and taken from the UPLIFT video on ' The Economics of Happiness '.       The Governments today are short sighted as they look for 5 years planning when they should be planning for at least 2-3 generations from us. In our pursuit of greed and getting wealthy we have lost our true purpose of being born. Human beings were born to preserve and appreciate the nature along with other animals in this ecosystem. We seemed to have forgotten it.        Economics in simple terms mean allocation of resources efficiently for all of us to sustain and survive in a better environment. Remembering that earth's resources are limited would help us realize our mistakes faster. We are to unlearn something in order learn something new. The focus of the industrialization has always been to make profit using people, which seems the unfortunate thing.        Mankind is supposed to become the caretaker of this universe. Are we? Ou...

Courtesy - Internet      The story goes back to 1922 when Albert Einstein went to Japan as per his plan to give a lecture instead of receiving the Nobel prize in physics. For many this may look odd. Who in the right minds would not go to receive a Nobel prize? Isn't it?  Well that is Einstein for you.       In the hotel Imperial at Tokyo where he stayed for his lecture, the crowd did not leave him alone.  In this midst of chaos, a courier guy came to Einstein for delivery. As a gratitude Einstein wrote him a thankful note which is now known as theory of happiness.  "A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness"  ~ Albert Einstein No wonder he is a genius and not all us can do what he has given us. But his simple words on happiness has given the mankind everything he needs. In-spite of this we are after the rat race. Isn't our quest for domination in thi...

       I am feeling good today. In fact with what ever I have today am feeling great. Thank God for all that you have given me. I am happy with what I have and feel good with the grace the God has gifted me. Life is not only about what people think it ought to be. If you are contented with what you have then life is bliss.        One person's happiness need not be another. Would you agree to this?  Just because someone thinks you don't have something in life, doesn't make you any less happier.       I am thankful to the Universe for all that I have today.       I am grateful for the peace, happiness and contentment that God has given me today.     Wish all of you have a good day and a great year ahead!  Hope you make your choices better.

      Happiness is a craving now a days everyone of us have. How do you fulfill it? Spiritual gurus say it is something that comes from your inside and cannot be obtained from the materialistic world. I would agree. What makes me happy? A cute smile from a kid, a comedy movie, a whats app joke from a friend, my wife's sense of humor and of course writing blogs just makes me happy. A job well done at the office with focus and commitment, is for few just contentment, but for me it also makes me happy.        Laugh they say is a good medicine to cure many a disease. No wonder we start seeing laughing clubs at parks now a days. A heartful laugh is contagious. Imagine you are in an environment where everyone laughs always. Wouldn't the world be a better place or rather happier place?      Joy is something you derive out of sheer unselfish acts. A kind act of giving alms to the poor and needy, donating to CRY foundation or a volunteering in...
