Writing after a long long time.. Blame my exams! :P Done with my exams and almost done with holidays also.. Nice to be writing here after such a long gap.. :P
Well this post, actually is just a passing thought; a philosophical thought you may call it! Yea yea, I do get philosophical thoughts also :) A LOT OF THEM actually!! :)
A few days back I got a forward on my cell.. It was this general 'Reply with an option and I'll tell you the meaning behind it' kind of a forward.. There was a list of cars.. It said select a car that you'd like to drive n you'll know the meaning.. there were many names.. I've personally loved only Swift.. Never really thought of any other car.. But what I replied took me by surprise.. BMW!! This made me think!! Why did I select BMW? Haven't I always liked Swift..?? Haven't I always thought Swift is all I want, nothing more..??!!
I thought about this for a little more time than necessary maybe.. And this is what I concluded.. We always feel that having 'something' in our life will make us happy.. But, we forget that there's always a 'something' that we don't have at every point of life.. When I have a Swift, I don't have a BMW! When I have a BMW, I don't have a XYZ!! It's never ending.. Running behind material happiness is not worth it.. You'll keep running all your life and still never feel complete and content..!!
One can never find happiness in wealth or riches.. Contentedness is the key to happiness.. This, I guess, we realize very late or never realize.. Real happiness is different.. It is that which makes you fall in love with life..!! :) It is when you smile and think "This is everything I have ever wanted" :)
Love for yourself, a tight hug from a loved one, quality time with friends, the satisfaction of having done a job well, using your life in a useful way, doing something of value to others.. these are the small things that really bring happiness!! Don't you think?? :) :)
Before I end this post, let me share the reply I got for that forward.. It said "Sorry, already got a driver.. Better luck next time" :D Hehe.. I totally deserved it :D :D
