A Weekend With Genuine Happiness

Happiness? Where can someone get that? Happiness that have to be Genuine. Happiness that makes you feel loved. Happiness that makes you feel like life is blissful. Happiness that makes you feel complete.

Having had everything that I longed for the last 3 years or so, I have now managed to live a life of my own. And, I have my own terms to follow where my parents had no word to say. At least because they knew that I will always be in a safer zone. 

Even though I make a living out of writing, which I felt to be my true calling. I am amazed to certain extent that it is not giving me the genuine happiness that I am looking for. I always had the feeling of missing something big in life. I wondered what can be something so bigger than this? As I had a comfortable work space at office, drawing a handsome pay as a starter (At least I think so) weekend movies, Dinner at cosy restaurants and hanging out with friends. Life is soft going. But still. I don't really find happiness in it. I don't think this is a proper kind of living. I always think that there is a life beyond weekend movies and 9 hour work at office. 

I have seen people working their skins out at the office all through the week and spend half time of their weekend by taking a large nap. Followed by a movie in a nearby multiplex or a dinner at a restaurant. Boring activity is what I feel. 

I tired staying home for a weekend and thought of trying something different. I wondered what I am going to do for the next 48 hours. That's when it occured to me. A Fiction would really make my day. Without a second thought I gave in.

With "The One You Cannot Have" by Preeti Shenoy, I started reading it from the very first page. I had a good 55 minute read where I have managed to reach 60 pages of the book. It was a great piece of work by Preeti. She is just amazing when it comes to writing. Which is always in her cup of tea. 

The next 4 hours made my day even better. For the first time, I decided to clear up my room. Which never happens in reality. Trust me. It is never easy to accept. Cleaning up your own room can be the hardest job if you belong to my category. I had never done something like this all my life. But all of a sudden I felt an intense urge to clear up everything. And I began to collect the bags and books which are scattered all over the room. It's been nearly close to 3 months since the maid water washed the flooring.

Let me tell you, This can never be a wonderful experience but surely falls into the category of awful experiences that you ever had in life. The beginning was actually tough. I have found it too hard to clear up everything in the first place. Believe me, it took me nearly 45 minutes to collect the stuff that was on the floor. It was that difficult. 

And then, with broomstick in my hand I have found myself funny in the small mirror that we have for 2 in a room. I did try hard. And my back started to hurt. It was the time I realized about housekeeping is said easier than done. I wish to give a big round of applause to every housekeeper. They do a fab job. 

The next 2 hours has been hectic. I did water wash the marble flooring but it didn't give me a satisfactory look. Even after water washing it looked dirty. Huh. What to do now? I did try to think a lot. 

After 5 good minutes. I repeated the same procedure. Water washed again all over the room with a stick that has a kind of cloth at the other end. I don't even know what people call that. It was a handy tool to make things work. Finally, the efforts are being paid off. I can sense a change in the look as I did the same for 2 more times and declared! 

Now, the floor looks awesome. And the room has got a new look. I have arranged all my books in a proper order which gives a heavenly feel. 

It's not that a movie gives you happiness. It's all about doing it with love. Love what you do. And do what you Love. Life is simple. You get to live once. Live it to the fullest. Never compromise if you believe in something. Give it a TRY. You shall succeed with flying colors.  

 Genuine Happiness Comes From Real Hard Work.  

If you are reading this one, I expect you to comment what you think. For me, comments is what mattered the most. I hope the first person does and rest will follow the suite. 

With Love,

Life After Transition

The mornings are a bit hectic at work and the evenings will certainly make me realize that I just had few hours left in hand to get back to work the next morning! It was all happening to me for the last 60 days. To be precise, this is an entirely new phase that I am experiencing as I never thought I would be employed taking the current situations in to considerations. I am Glad! I have got one. 

It's been almost 2 months since I paid a visit to my blog even though I constantly check with the numbers that change very rapidly during those times when I was consistent. But now, you see I had to offer my services to the company I work. And that's what created this gap. And today, I am back again in process of filling up those gaps. I wish those gaps will never appear here after. 

Writing for my blog after long time feels great actually. Here, I don't really have to worry about the concepts I need to cover, the title I need to choose, the Focus keyword that defines my position in the Search Engines, The internal and external links that I need to plan, The meta description that I need to frame. There is nothing as such. Here, I can be myself. I can write what my heart says. I can pen down my anguish in the best way possible.

I don't really want to make this particular blog post a boring one for the readers coming in after a long gap. So I just wanted to make this one pretty simple. The transformation from a shapeless life to a meaningful journey is what defines my life. I have been hearing the same from my school pals as well. I don't understand what makes the difference. I blurt out everything on Facebook and Twitter is what make them say. But there is life beyond Facebook and Twitter. I don't blurt everything out. I have some things for myself. 

At office I do whole lot of research before I write on one particular topic. Goal is that I need to produce best content among the others. I always wanted to compete with 'Mashable' which is one of the TOP technology site ranked some 224 according to Alexa. I did try to reach there. News articles is what makes me excited! And fortunately I have taken on Mashable, technical wise which is never so easy for me. And Guess what?! Task accomplished! 

Meanwhile, This has come my way! Totally out of the blue. I am not sure if I will get this again. But happy that I have already one under my belt. "Best Employee of the Month - August, 2013" 

And I would like to share a few pictures that were randomly clicked during our first outing to Barbeque Nation. If you are a non-veggie, then it's going to be an absolute feast for you! But Veggies, be prepared for some unexpected grilled stuff that comes your way! 

Well, let me tell you! The above grills are 100% veg. It was my grill that I have managed to click. :-) 

Pastery was supposed to be heavenly dessert anywhere you Go. But having Awesome Vanila Ice-cream with Hot Hot Jamun's made it simply delicious. 

Weekends vanish without a trace. And here, I would like to add up another yummy foodie which I have tried for the very first time. And I must say that it isn't that bad like people known to me said earlier. It was beyond okay. :-) 

Wow! 'Momo' with 4 different shades that comes as a combo. Not costly though.   

And Finally! Before I end up with this post. I have got something more for you! 

That awkward moment when people start liking my new look rather than commenting. Tried for the very first time and I don't think it's that bad! And even people didn't find it awful. I'm happy for that! I have now got used to this. :-) Planning to try different styles in future. 

Will come up with another post very soon. Hope you didn't get bored with reading this post. If you have anything to say! Please let me know in the comment section. I would love to hear from you! Else, it would be like I am talking to myself or to the walls behind me. So, comment your views and let me know that you actually read!
