Life is Demanding..
Being put on the earth is not the most convenient thing, trust me. If you are born, you need a life.And a Life takes a lot to be a quintessential life one most likely would wish to live. All life we long for happiness,indeed the definition of happiness is different for each person.Some feel happy about possession of Merc and for others its Nano.Alright that is too materialistic. Lets take another example, some one's idea of happiness might be to hit a mall after a movie and for one its hitting the bed with book in one hand and mug of coffee in another.Thus happiness itself so is a very subjective thing. Regardless of it, we all seek happiness for life,and what actually block our happiness is our perception that our happiness is blocked.Instead of being happy, we want happiness to come to us and dance in front of our eyes. Perhaps we need to change the perception of happiness first.Easy said than done.I guess more than be happy we want to be perceived happy by others so first we need to be self content in every which way possible.let not our happiness depend on others.We should better not let others be source of our happiness in such a trivial manner.
The best way to be self content is to be thankful to God for everything he has given us,though at times its alright to be cranky(I'm always cranky).
Earlier i assumed that if Jeannie grants me three wishes, i will be happiest person for rest of my life, i was wrong.Within the introspection of split second i realised that if i choose just three wishes i'll be left out on so many things, absence of which will never let me be happy. Here we come full circle.Yes, Life demands possession ,life demands emotions,life demands comfort..it demands to be perfect,to be one of its kind.Trust me, Life is demanding, very demanding!!

Some of the pieces of your post are more about pleasure which is different from happiness, i believe true happiness comes in giving, sharing & making someone happy and one thing for sure is if you will hurt someone or their feelings irrespective of circumstances it can never give you pleasure forget about happiness & contentment which is lot bigger deal.
Woody Allen said to love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. Do you know what it means?
BUT bottom line of life always remains same: it is short & it goes on.
Self happiness is First and foremost, you cannot entertain each & every persons feelings, doing so will lead you nowhere.
Buddy, I feel that you have been thru a serious heart-break, my post altogether is not about love scenarios. so love-heart-heartbreak-suffering are not the topics to be discuss over here. Leave them for another day.Don’t ruin the taste of my post.
P.S - i usually dont appreciate anonymous comments.
I don’t consider myself a think tank or intellectual power house but with my meek understanding of life I know SELF HAPPINEZ is akin to selfishness.
If you don't appreciate anonymous comments change your privacy settings (go to settings>>comments>>check radio button - Only members of this blog) also check always radio button on moderation. This would create a boundary to nurture your comfort zone & blossom the invention of your imagination of SELF HAPPINESS.
No offences but creating a blog is not a personal diary in your drawer. Not sure if this blog is so popular that such comments would really slander your PR in the industry. If you can’t appreciate someone’s views there is no reason to contempt the same.
Hey ! first tell me one thing, why you write after such huge gaps? like why such a low frequency ? Anyways nice read...I think you have tried to express the most naive and basic defination of happiness which people tend to forget while chasing unrealistic hopes !
@Anonymous
I said in post itself that happiness is a subjective term..different for each individual. Mine is confined to Self only. Feel free to call it selfishness.
yeah my blog are not that popular but off course not a right place to entertain someone's personal grudges, a last place for me to acknowledge your acerbity towards whosoever. Love hatred are the issues I prefer not to discuss with some random(read anonymous) person . I know blogs are meant not to be personal but taking a shed of that along with anonymity don’t give you the leverage to speak things which can’t be taken into consideration otherwise. The comments for any post must be in context with the actual topic of post- you industry veteran must be already knowing that.
@kunal
Thanx !!
Thats quite a treat to read about life, its joys and happiness.. The idea depicted in "I guess more than be happy we want to be perceived happy by other so first we need to be self content in everywhich way possible." is so true, and thus raises a question on the idea about life and happiness itself, and makes one think..and it makes life, Demanding.. Very Demanding.. Great Stuff to read and nice ideas.. Keep it up...
It’s Dec 15 2012 so I am not sure if you will give any heed to an year old comment that you & me wrote between Dec 24 to Dec 27 2011. I still felt to respond to your last comment.
It is so sad that all you could understand from my comments above was behind hiding in to anonymity I was trying to pursue my personal grudges although the reality is that I never got a chance to speak to you and as an identified person I was stopped from even writing to you. Even a thought of grudge for you gives me a sinking feeling & I think I am sensible enough to accept the fact that grudges would never lead to happiness so I never had that in first place because I always felt that you were right and I think you are right in your above comment as well, I ruined the taste of your post so I am sorry for that. For me most important thing to remain happy is to have pure heart & stay away from any guilt of making anyone upset & it becomes more important for people I care. I might be wrong in some places but trust me I am not a bad person. If you still feel that I am fake and I am leaving a bad taste then I won’t come back to your blog to comment & I would remain silent which like I have been most of the time and you need not to change you blog’s privacy setting again that I mentioned above. Okay?
