“Lucky” is not what one needs to be, to be “Happy”. It’s the inner self that keeps you going, keeps you growing and keeps you Happy at all times. Happy comes through thought, attitude and action.
Thought – Your city is run out of water and there's no hope for another month, well that's a bad news; but look at the brighter side, the good news is that you dont have to bathe for the whole month. Well the illustration was at this moment not to think about how smelly you would be at the end of the month but bringing that thought at this very particular moment to make you feel Happy.
Attitude – You left your office early to attend a ceremony and speeding away in your bike to your home and suddenly there is a huge storm and heavy downpour. The first reaction would be “Shit this had to happen today!!” and you quickly park your bike on the footpath and run to a shop on the service road where a crowd is already standing waiting for the storm to settle down and you plunge into them. And what you find there “Wow a Chilli Bajji stall and a Fruit Juice Centre” now could you have asked for something better in a storm like that!! Enjoying a snack and the beauty of the rain, the urgency to reach home early had settled down instead of the storm. Every problem has a solution and every desert has an oasis, face it with the right attitude to see the ever expected Happy ending.
Action – Help yourself but more importantly help others because the amount of happiness you bring in them would never be a match to the happiness you get helping yourself. A simple example would be to spend small amount of time (which is most important these days) be it even 5mins with your old folks every now and then if you are not staying with them. Just imagine the happiness you get to see in those awaiting eyes, believe me its unimaginable.
Like the saying goes “A smile is a curve that makes everything straight”, try a smile when you are talking to a person be it a parent, a kin, a friend, an office boy, an auto driver; the smile you give will be doubled in return adding to your Happiness quotient.
“LIFE” is a beautiful thing to be cherished day-in and day-out without wasting a single moment. There is no point in thinking and discussing things that do not change the past. Life is to be taken as a waiting game and wait for every nice surprise that LIFE has in store for you making you all the more Happier. Tiny funny moments with family and friends are to be always remembered and cherished and keep that tiny little mind free for more lighter and Happier moments.

Dad always says “Take life as it comes and dont think too much about the future and spoil the current time” and Mom always says “Whatever happens happens for good”. Wow just combine these 2 lines with your Life and guess what people would say looking at you, well they would just say you are a “Happy Go Lucky” person indeed.
