Pursuit of happiness

Happiness is a positive state of mind or a emotional feeling which is pleasant. Happiness is around us as well as within us. Rich and poor are in pursuit of happiness, Young and the old are in pursuit of happiness, Intellectuals and the weak are also in pursuit of happiness. Happiness exist for a certain period of time eventually returning back to normal. The pursuit of happiness is continuous. We seek happiness every passing day, every passing minute and every passing second.
Laughter brings happiness, helping brings happiness, games brings happiness, art, music dance, jokes etc.. etc.. brings in happiness. The real happiness lies within.  In the modern age there is shortage of laughter as we are struck in our air conditioned cabins for the whole day. At the end of the day we are socially inactive, we meet friends and relatives rarely and live muted. Emotions are suppressed while we try to learn happiness by attending wellness classes. This is a cry of the empty souls in pursuit of happiness presented in my own verses.
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

In pursuit of happiness I immerse,
Searching for it in the distant world,
Seeking it from within, happiness, 
Happiness peaks within young souls,
Climbing a tree, riding a bicycle,
Catching a butterfly, playing games,
Where have they gone? Gone for a ride,
Lost in laptops and mobiles, 
Hiding behind the linen robs,
Locked inside our climate controlled cabins, 
Happiness went missing, 
No where to be found, to my dismay!
Too busy to search ourselves,
Can you teach me to be happy?
Classrooms, webinars and seminars,
Only the back breaks sitting hours listening, 
Leaving empty pockets, Happiness 
Gone for a ride, Happiness,
Desires leads to sufferings,
I left behind the desire of being happy,
At the least suffering is avoided, 
In pursuit of happiness I immerse,
Searching for it in the distant world,
Seeking it from within, happiness,


Did you relate this to yourself, make time to find happiness first, work can wait. Reinvent yourself and find joy in every thing you do in life.

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity.

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
