Being happy

Relationships are really tricky.Human nature which keeps on changing from time to time makes it more difficult to predict a person behavior.
In this world where relationships plays a very important role, we just keep on trying to keep the relation healthy.We buy gifts,go out of the way to do something just to bring make the other person happy.Some how i feel we as human being have become really selfish and also we have started expecting a lot from people whom we know.

Many time i have seen people giving importance to others only if that other person has done something "tangible" as in something which is visible.And we always over look things which we feel are not so important.

I am writing this today as a small incident happened some days back in the class which really made my day.A really good friend of mine passed me on a smiley.Nothin much it was a small smiley drawn on a papers.[attached above]

Call me kiddo but somehow felt really good I immediately kept in inside my wallet.Iam a person who gives more importance to these small things than others.

It is very important for us to understand that in today jet life we we overlook such small things and then miss out a chance to be happy.If we start nothing such small things we will see that through out all the while we will come across such small instances which will make us happy.
How many times have we heard people saying that" there is no reason to be happy"
I feel bad for them for the fact that these are the same people who dont look at small small things which brings happiness.
Its just that we need to look at the larger picture and njoy life.

Cheers people
Hope this post does bring difference in some people's life

Hey am the first to comment here! That makes me happy!! I believe that Happyness is a state of mind, I believe at many a times in life, we give our reasons for happyness to others, and we then blame then for not making us happy, I don believe that somebody can make us happy, unless and until we're not ready enough to be happy,,,

And Little things are happyness, Like the sands of the sea, Happyness is made up of million little things,, The very act of yours, keeping the smiley icon, (It makes me smile) And God, If so, I keep dozens of little things in my wallet, Bills, tickets, cos I had travelled all the way to see my friend off, a few scriblings of somebody, The letters, greeting cards, chocolate wrappers, all those doodles,,,

In little ways, people makes us feel good, as u mentioned in today's world we overlook everything..

The Mad-rush to no-where!!!!

As my mom tells, The quality of life depends on the quality of relationships you have, even to an extent, relationships are commercialised...

And am Glad that you're this kind of persons, who gives a thought or two to little things in life, Am happy for you rakesh,, May be people with this name are like this?/ what say???

Cheers buddy!!!!

good post there. i believe in the happiness derived from simple pleasures too.. goes way beyond large expensive gifts.. in fact, for me a phone call from an old friend means much more than costly gifts (but then i'm not saying no to gifts here :P)
and you've posted this at a nice merry festive time too :)
season's greetings!
