FREE HAPPY MOMENTS!

It is the biggest thing a person desires. We work for it hard, and we live for it. The aim gets fixed and we revolve around it in the entire game of life. Adjustments are made to achieve that ‘aim’. MONEY, you guessed it right. First I was going to say satisfaction, but many say unless your pockets are full, how will you be ‘satisfied?’ Is it?? I mean, are we always satisfied (completely) even when our pockets are overflowing, our bank balances is ‘balanced’ heavily? I won’t answer these questions, as every person has his own answers.
In childhood, I remember, everyone asked – What do you wish to be? In schools to we have written such essays. Doctor, Engineer, Cricketer were the predominant answers. I tto, said something similar. But what am I doing now? May be not the same, what I had said. But surely, I am driving the vehicle to reach the aim ‘money’. Everyone does it, so am I! it has become so important! Deviation from this journey leads you somewhere else, leaving you ‘Alone’! We humans hate this word, no matter if we are accompanied by money only, but we want some company, we can’t live alone at all.
Money is a transactional tool. We pay it for daily activities, for our comforts, for entertainment, travel, luxury and thus we try to be happy. The more you will pay, the happier you would be, is the golden equation. Do we pay for breathing clean air? Do we pay for smiling? Do we pay for true love? Do we spend money for watching the setting sun? For resting in a trees shadow? Or for experiencing star studded sky on no moon day, or for watching a full moon?
All the above things and many more, for which we don’t pay at all, we don’t experience them either. We have moved far away from the FREE HAPPY MOMENTS! May be, we think they aren’t worthy moments as they are free. Because now we decide the worth on the amount of money we spend for sa particular thing. On reading this, go step out and be happy. Go see some splendid things happening around you continuously, which demand you time and not money! Do earn HAPPINESS along with MONEY.

Twice A Day..

Me and my friend had been to McDonalds this Monday. We had a burger and Mc Swirl Ice-cream. Wow!! I enjoyed it after a long time; we stepped out and were walking on JM road. A boy came and asked for money, easily I said no. he followed us for a while demanding money, with our tummies full we ignored him, until he said, “Bahot bhuk lagi hai, paise do khan ke liye...” (I am hungry, and have no money to eat). Instantly the burger which I had, started dancing in my stomach... I asked him “kacchi dabeli khaoge?”(Would you have kacchi dabeli?) Without a second thought he said yes!
There was a stall nearby, we went there and ordered one. I asked him his name, “Rohit”, he replied. He was eagerly waiting for his ‘treat’, the first one in how many days??? I don’t know, neither I asked him! Rohit enjoyed every bite, his face became so expressive! I asked whether he would like to have another dabeli, he just nodded, he had no time to speak..
“School jate ho?”, I asked. Rohit said no, and said “ Iskool ke liye paisa nahi hai!” (he had no money for schooling). But when I asked if he wishes to study, his ‘yes’ was a lazy one. Rohit is a representative of all children roaming on streets doing nothing. They don’t understand how important education is, no one told them. All they know is to have food twice a day... they have to work very hard to have it.
Rohits face was glittering as his stomach was full(may be), he had a wide smile on his face, this made me very happy, very satisfied. He thanked me with his smile... we parted ways by waving hands…
