Happiness....

A blog titled happiness raises quite an eyebrow...I mean to say what the heck is new in this one that one has to write so much in his blog?? And in fact as I am, as my readers and my close people know, am not so much of an intellectual guy to write on a heavy duty thinking topic such as this one...In fact I am writing this blog when the water of Ganges are murkier by two months...

Before you assume anything,let me make my self clear first.I just cant say that I didn't had time or a topic to post about in this two months...rather a lot of good,overwhelming and as well as a heartbreaking news had made my world turn upside down in these two months...No no..I am not giving or passing excuses...but really it did happened...Ok,ok. Let me gain myself and tell you the things that happened in this quite inconsequential two months time.

Firstly, following up on my blog of "anticipation of the joining letter", I finally did get my joining letter on the first week of February. I just cant explain the ecstacy that I felt ( I wasn't drugged) as I was thinking of joining as the only ultimate goal in my life.

Secondly,I literally did "grew up" to an extent by not allowing my dad to accompany me to Delhi.He was hard pressing, but I did resist him from coming with me. Though I myself wasn't that much confident travelling alone, but I had high hopes for my friends (Atul & Om, who were there that time) to come and receive me. After all I was, may be still now a "kid" who just cant live without "papa's hand" or rather maybe I have a habit for asking a "helping hand" at each and every point of my life.

Thirdly, the opening to my new company was not so very nice experience when during the induction(2nd day itself) the presenter (on health and safety basics) showed us some "unhealthy" (read:- in bad taste) images that made me wonder, am I really suitable for this job..I was constantly thinking of returning back to Kolkata and wait for my other company's joining when I found GOD telling me.."If the rest 139 candidates (colleagues) can stay and overcome the fear or the risk of the job then why cant I???"

For the fourth point I have a confusion between two events. My trip to Agra where I terribly (read:- greatly,exceedingly,awfully,badly and whatever you can add similar to the other terms mentioned here) missed all my loved ones, or the sad demise of one of my very close friend... I better not talk about either topic as I don't want to remember two events to have ever occurred in my life.

Fifth, the salary credited to our account was beyond our expectations. Never mind that it included the salary of last eight days of February. Afterall first Official salary is something that was new to most of us (few had been working previously,hence they didn't feel anything new).

Sixth and the final of all, My posting in Kolkata. All out of the blue the news did came that me along with four of my colleagues have got their respective posting in kolkata itself where we are to join just after finishing our training in delhi on the contrary where many people have been literally thrown to different parts of the country ignoring their preference of joining.


Now can anyone tell me what should or rather how should I describe my present situation? What I mean to say is that I am and I will be rather confused if someone asks me if I am happy or not? .....Seriously...I my self dont know how to react to all these emotional changes around me...Help!!! Anyone...
To assist you in answering here is a small tip that I want to share from my side. "After the days end I am the one lucky enough to get all my things answered in the best possible way,both financially as well as physically ,hence I should be happy"-does it goes like this?

Also what I dont understand is that does really a persons happiness is denoted by his present situation?? And is it only sensed in monetary terms or is there anything that is termed as "real happiness". In my school days I remember a saying( I don't remember whose it was or how accurate I am writing here) "Happiness are occasional events in a Journey of sorrow"(Or something like that. I don't remember properly.)


To add a better conclusion to this topic I want to add this a line of mine...though it is not an actual definition that I have Googled but is rather a "framed" one. Maybe it can be stated as following, maybe that's the best I can say:-

"Happiness is an assumption of the mind, when the individual is in a preferable situation with respect to his peers,for which he is not responsible(situation)".

Reality Of a Death

There are many or rather certain things in our life that touches our hearts. And there are so many things that really do not mean anything to us. Now people don’t assume that I have gone mad after waiting long for my joining letter or rather is playing around the bush. But believe me; if I hadn’t started this way then you may not understand the graveness of the thing that I am going to write or rather what you will be reading next. One look into the matter will give you an insight that this is a real serious kind of a case that is separate from my other posts till date.

How many of you have watched the Imran khan debut “Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na”. I think my readers are of that age group that really follows new age movies. There was a situation at the beginning only where the pet cat of Genelia dies. This was not the end it goes on to a remembrance meeting organized for the cat. How many of us did really understand he graveness of that situation? Another example of recent ad of a detergent powder shows the kids in the class rejoicing as their teacher namely “Rosy Miss” is absent and the reason for the same is the death of her dog. The child in the ad only understands her case when he reaches her. He felt sorry for her and readily agreed to act like her dog.

Now what’s the thing that one really gets from these two cases? Both the deaths were painful but how many does understand the pain of the respective ladies in the movie and the ad. I think there is really a handful who really did feel their pain. Some sympathized with them but most of us just laughed at the situation in the film and in case of the ad just flipped the channel with the remote. Believe me friends I was also among the greater lot until the same thing happened to me or rather to my family.

We used to have lots of cats, all thanks goes to my sister who was responsible for bringing them in and feeding them. This cat was different from all the other ones. We also had a similar situation when a very small cat was run over by some car just in front of our house. But that time was different as it was really very small, and none of us was emotionally involved with it. Now you may ask why so fuss when this one died? Yup! What’s in a cat? Get a new one. Yes we certainly can get a new cat. But at first let me tell you all the unique features of this cat.

Have you ever seen a cat which never steals? Especially when the cat belongs to the road. This cat never did steal any food neither did touch any fish that was not meant for her. Now please don’t think that I am bluffing. Yes of course if you keep the fish in front of her face, it would have had it without any question, but I mean to say that this is the kind of cat whom you can easily lock into your kitchen without worrying that it would attack your food that is kept in your racks in kitchen, be it fish milk or anything else. The thing is that it really did not have any bad habit of putting its mouth into food. And was quite content with what it did really get. Now if a cat has all this features then everyone I think will like to have a pet in their house. Really this cat was unique. It never did steal. I mean it was so good natured that it never did knew any fear in her heart. She was so cute and with all her features made her the best cat in our house. There was a time when it never did leave our house to find food for her. Only in the cases when we were not in our house that it go out and the amazing thing was that she used to be there when we returned home.

Now that there was certain things that she really liked to have as her food. First of all is milk and amazingly “Britannia Cream Cracker Biscuits”!!! Though it never did really like the new flavor “spices”, she never touched Marie. Peculiar food habits such as having the leftover of the lemon curd or the curd itself as well as having chow and Maggie. Even she used to have leftovers of what we ate. It was just a year old and in the time being had become our favorite.

There are many funny incidents that would really make her stay in our heart. First of all she was very curious about my computers cd tray. I found her looking curiously at the tray that came out and went inside. After watching her doing so I started to move the tray in and out repeatedly. After five times it extended her first paw into it to really get into what was that. When I prevented her from doing so, it ran away. Ha ha ha… that was really a moment to enjoy.

Another most funny thing that happened was that my sister left her as well as her mother in the kitchen and locked the kitchen without noticing the two inside. After some time the sound of utensils made her to rush to the kitchen and the thing that she found was so amazing that we all laugh when we just think of the incident. Friends it is natural for the cat to jump to the shelf and search for fishes. But she was just staring at her mother from below which had jumped into the racks and was searching for food. Really our favorite cat never knew to steal. Sigh!!!

This winter in 2^nd January it died of the freezing cold and some unknown skin disease.

I now really do feel the pain of Genelia and Rosy miss.
