" If you have dinner, I 'll surely get a doll for you tomorrow", said mom,when I was very reluctant to eat as a little girl.With the eagerness to get a small doll I had dinner and mom got me a doll next day.
As I grew older,there was a time wherein "Kaho Na Pyar Hai" was such a hit and I badly wanted to catch up that movie.When I asked my parents they told that fare well this time in the monthly test and we will take you.I studied well without going out to play for long hrs with the only aim being tests as I would be granted what I actually craved for..
I grew up and went to college and the same things continued.Mom and Dad never used to tell no,but then there was a clause and I had to fulfill it for me to get what I craved for.The happiness I got after I got what I wanted had no bounds.Everytime I felt as if I was on Cloud 9.
Now that I am independent and working, I never ask parents for things as I used to. They proudly tell that our daughter is Independent and has grown up to take care of herself.That is so nice to hear of them.But then coming back to the small happiness about which I am talking about,that small happiness has no room as it had when I was not independent or rather to tell until I started working!!!
I still remember the day when mom got me the Doll and I was so happy getting it and played with it for hrs.I do still remember the day when I scored the highest marks in the test,but I was more happy when my parents took me to that movie.Such small happiness have nothing to equal.We feel so dam happy and contented after getting what ever we wanted after doing some work towards it and craving for it for a short span of time.
These are the small happiness which man craves for.Getting a job,salary,weekends..are fine.But then, when I ask myself am I happy with all this, the answer which I get is no..I can now go and buy what I want.I need not ask small things from my parents as I get it within minutes as those things are well within my reach.I need not crave for things anymore.But then, that small happiness is lost wherein I used to crave for things and get it.
Guess now the mindset or rather the very definition of the word "small happiness" has to change and we should find small happiness by getting and giving gifts,surprises,hanging out with near and dear ones etc etc..All those small, very minute things bring great happiness not only to us but also in the eyes of those near and dear ones.This can only happen in this so called fast evolving world where in we find some minutes in our busy schedules.Else life becomes pretty monotonous and boring.
Come on!!!Boring and Monotonous wont's sound nice anyways to anyone after all everyone wants to be happy:)
