In Pursuit of Happiness

A contradictory topic ( love these, gives my ego a huge boost....makes me think that am exercising my intellectual capabilities). What is happiness? What are we in pursuit for? I remember those childhood days when we were happy. I used to have a small cup in which I would have tea, that meant so much to me.......wow I have my own cup and every morning I used to look forward to it......the day had such a nice beginning. Then as we grew up the definition of being happy changed.....my first football boots...I was over the moon. Then came the next phase ( the start of the bad phases lol).....college, where happiness started to take a different meaning....it became more materialistic ( that hasnt left me till date, wonder when will it)....
One evening when i was coming back from tuition, I used to have fountain pepsi ( a craze which had started those days).....A little girl on the street carrying her brother was begging on the street....she was looking at me amazed....I called her, bought her pepsi.....I saw her eyes shining, she was so happy.....till date I havent been able to come up with an answer to describe the look on her face....Why cant I be happy like her? Probably because I have got more from life....probably being happy is relative.....One thing is for sure "In Pursuit of Happiness" if we stop being happy with small things.......we might never be happy again.......

Is Happiness Measured????

For a long time have been thinking about this. Its like everybody has a happiness account attached to their name.Once the person has reached the allocated level ( dunno who determines that level) all that happens is towards lowering the happiness level. Everything would have been going fine, giving no indication that one has finshed the overall quota that has been allocated....suddenly things take a turn for the worst......if everything had been going fine for a long time then suddenly what ever starts happening is for the worst......as if to bring the happiness levels down....like there cannot be overdraft (even banks allow overdraft...lol)...anyways everybody has to deal with it...guess its called "LIFE".....

Kingfisher 5 a side

Early in July we played the Sportz Village 5 a side coporate soccer tournament. The group games were a battle ( an understatement) :)....anyways we scraped through as group runners. We went to the pre - quarter finals ( term we coined ourselves, sounds as if we were almost there in the quarter finals)....hehehehe....and then reality struck a huge jolt....all of us were brought back to the ground, we lost the so called pre - quarter finals 6-1. Just like the serial on Travel and Living we were completely "Overhauled". The rude awakening was there, the preparation was awesome with all new boots,guards ( to protect an over increasing surface area) but the performance where it mattered most was lacking.
Now its September an even bigger challenge awaits....the Kingfisher 5 a side tournament. We have been practising on almost every Saturday ( after the July disaster). It seems that we have improved a lot, made some changes.....lets see what happens. This time the preparation doesnt matter the performance does.....
