even in death... you are so beautiful!!

There was this little girl I met...
she had eyes so little, as if they were two little stars, jolly, and they would actually twinkle!
nose was tiny and flat, i would look at her and wonder how she breathes, but she manages to survive!
the tiny, soft head had  strands of hair I could count but they were long! Eyebrows so faint!
 Her lips were pretty and promised sweetness upon being kissed. she would sleep most of the time with her little fists, straight, fingers folded!  An ivory neck, pretty as ever!

So divine was her beauty that she looked enchanting even when she lay dead! yeah she died, her body into pieces.... she left for other world, where things were supposed to be more beautiful, more peaceful, where love spoke!

She was diagnosed of PARENTOSIS!!

in the pursuit of 'Happiness'.....

 Happiness... is something we are in search of all the time. Every age group, both the sexes, the rich and the poor.   A child seeks happiness in the toys, which are his own till he grows up and shuns them. Soon the child grows and seeks happiness in the company of his mates and learning new ways to live, upon reaching adolescence he seeks happiness in his new found love (do not confuse happiness with pleasure!! ).

When the child is grown up, the periphery of the term Happiness grows with him. He soon has has a number of ways of seeking happiness, a number of ''to-do'' lists in a day.
He never realizes that that his search for happiness has soon turned into a desperate run to satisfy his desires!

To be candid, Desires are the evil. they make you suffer, they are unreasonable at times, they are ambitious, they are sky high. Desires know no bar. Desires are crazy.
Gautam Buddha rightly quoted-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           There is suffering in this world
                                                      The suffering has a cause
                                                                   The cause is Desire.


Well everybody is aware of these things, just that we deliberately make them passive. We throw these lovely quotes at the back of our minds. the world is flashy, glittering. And, you must have learnt  this proverb in school- 'All that glitters is not Gold'.

Gone are those saints who curbed their desires in the pursuit of happiness,  We can never be saints, we shouldn't try. Recently, I read a punchline. The punchline of a commercially available beverage and it said- 'Greed is good, baby!'

Greed is good, if you are seeking happiness whole heartedly, without harming others. I, in the pursuit of happiness have gone to lengths. But happiness seems to be playing hide and seek.. at times Happiness says  (it/he/she) 'loves me'. Next moment, has a change of mind.  Slips away like sand between my fingers.... but then when I start walking, gets into my shoes and tickles. I love Happiness. I sure do. Happiness - desires- love- happy life. Thats how I feel I can make my life perfect.

If i have succeeded in confusing you with this blog, I would like some comments pouring in.

The picture in this blog might not seem relevant. A sea shore for Happiness???
yes it is the sea shore for HAPPINESS!
