The Pursuit of Happiness

 Happiness is a state of mind. What is the aim of life? To be happy or to be rich? Does happiness comes with wealth or it is independent of the amount of wealth a person has. How important are friends and relatives in being happy?


  So many questions! Being happy depends on having satisfaction in what you have and where you are. One must not have craving for something which one does not have. Aiming for high goals and working hard to achieve them is one thing, constantly complaning and crying for something you do not have is another. Be satisfied in what you have and you would be happy.


 These are some simple lessons, but it may be difficult for over ambitious or over confident people to unnderstand in one go. They just want everything in life. Are you of that type? Constantly asking for more than what you have? It is a bad thing to be and may not lead to happiness all the time.

 This post is coming after quiet a while. I have got settled in my job at Amdocs now and back to working in shifts. This is the first week of working in shifts and hopefully I will get time to work on my Untitled Series sci-fi novel. Also I am approaching 100 posts in my blog, this is number 98. The 100th one I am planning to cover all the previous posts.


 What else is happening in life? IPL 5 has started. MAncheter United are 8 points clear at the top of EPL and looking to win the title easily. Facebook is doing good, not much bugs and new full screen image viewer looks slick. Also good decision on buying Instagram, payed them more than required though I guess.


 Saw the movie Kahani last weekend. Very nice movie, the plot is good and the climax is very nice, good suspense movie and excellent work done by Vidya Balan.


 As I mentioned IPL5 has started, it is not that exciting as it used to be. There is gonna be the T20 world cup too, clearly there is an overdose of cricket and people are getting bored of it. Speaking of getting bored, its surprising, facebook is still able to entice its users and going strong with all the tweeks and modifications. They added Angry birds game and that is fun to play. However, I still believe facebook won't be there forever, 5 years tops I say!
