Simple things in life give immense happiness. In our busy world we hardly find time to enjoy these simple happiness. People are so busy in life and we have got so mechanical that we hardly find time to even realize that we are not enjoying simple happiness in life which gives un-matching pleasure. How many of us realize that we are missing things like getting drenched in rain - like a small kid, Eating ice cream in rain...totally shivering in rain, Eating junk food like chips or some fried item sipping a cup of coffee watching TV at home when it is pouring rains & cats, the smell or fragrance that we get when it rains (obviously we don't even get to know if it is raining when we sit in the AC room, stuck to our seats), Lying down on mom's feet & she moving her hands over our head with affection, Getting up late on a Sunday morning, enjoying a day off lazily at home doing nothing, Going on long ride in a bike/ 2 wheeler(thanks to cars which has replaced bikes & 2 wheelers like a miracle), Meeting good old friends in our favorite place, so called adda & gossip about every damn thing on earth, enjoying the window shopping all day with your most dearest person on earth...List goes on.
When I sit back & think why are we deprived of all these small, simple but still a difference making happiness, it is only because we are running a race endlessly. We are so busy in life, that we don't even an hour to stop and enjoy these happiness. We start our day mechanically in morning & end it mechanically in the night.
But when I think about all this, I feel we are still blessed. We had our time to enjoy our share of simple happiness. When we got back home from school, at least we had our parents would be home eagerly waiting for us. (Of course, if both parents were working, then the situation would be little different, but nevertheless, parents of our generation never carried work back home with them.) The pleasure we would get in updating the events that happened in school to parents is unmeasurable. Now these days when kids get back from school either they go to day care or they reach home when their parents are still at work. Parents also get back home with their work, telecon or meetings. Those small happiness we had kids of this generation is definitely not getting.
Where is the world leading to??
