Happiness is OMNIPRESENT

We are searching for something pleasant, nice and good every morning and even throughout the day. Watching movie, chatting on messenger or perhaps reading an article of personal interest in the morning gives a kind of different feeling. These activities are part of routine life. However, we miss out understanding the existence of happiness here.

It’s a fact and has remained the same despite changes in life over the years. We never realize that happiness is achieved in these small things we do in our daily life. While watching movie, we might not have liked the casting but captures were innovative, action was mind-blowing and of course, I found my favorite Ferrari running on that highway. Don’t you think this movie uttered happiness inside me?


Just read an article on one of the cricket legends… A great personality, straight-forward and down to earth man sharing his thoughts on how life has started anew for him after retirement. Am I not feeling happy reading those bits just as I’m about to finish breakfast and heading to office?

My friend from Japan has just joined office after a month (paternity leave). As I went online, he started sharing views of being a new father. Isn’t it making me happy? His thoughts have given rise to a kind conversation which I’m unable to resist despite being packed with schedule of the day.

It is difficult to analyse whether these tiny things matter or not each day and every day. But, I feel these just happen in blink of eye and start scattering optimism and healthy feelings around. It is not easy to say how things happen so suddenly and then diminish all of a sudden? But, these things happen and happen every time at unthoughtful times of life.

This is what makes HAPPINESS omnipresent. It gives so much and takes nothing in return. Mere observation of things around us helps in locating its presence. It is here and will remain here. We have to make sure that we take the most of it as it arrives into our so-called insulated zone of life.

Happy Days Ahead!!!

Thank You…

Change is UNAVOIDABLE - 2

Continuing my conversation where I left.... I was discussing on the concept of change that is unavoidable. Well, thinking from the perspective of an experienced guy, it is rather difficult to imbibe changes in life. Living in a techno-era, it has become imperative to train the thoughts according to what is introduced and what becomes a requirement. Things that look similar are, in fact, not same. Can you think of sitting in office for 9 hours working on the same task? Not any more.... You need to talk, chat on mobile, read and understand the posts shared on social media. And, that has to be done rather fast. In fact, there is no time in hand to work on the same task for long. And you have to go with the flow, the breeze which says, "It's better you change". I often share my views with guys who made different choices in life. Sometimes, they find it rather difficult and sometimes, impossible to deal with dynamics of modern era. And, obviously, it's very much correct that change is felt on every single morning when you wake up and sleep at night. In fact, everything is guided around what is right and what seems right. And change seems, as always right. But, experienced people are seeing a change at a fast pace. It is a bit difficult, but not that difficult. There is never an end to it..... Neerja Mehta

Change is UNAVOIDABLE - Part I

It's been a long time, I'd say almost a year has passed when I wrote on blogspot. However, nothing is too late nor too early. Today, I'm going to share my views on "CHANGE".

Since time immemorial, the Universe has undergone several and several drastic changes. Despite scientific theories, it is still unknown how humankind became existent, the generations continued and continues till this moment.

Nevertheless, it is change which has made everything and every little thing change. In other words, change has become quintessential; it's unavoidable. Every single living being is seeing and feeling it. Whether it's persona, innate talent or merely a place, everything has changed. Why should I say, it's "unavoidable"?

Honestly, change itself creates a situation, a circumstance which forces someone to go with the flow. If you don't relent, definitely, you are going to lose. But, fact is losing doesn't always equal loss. It is quite possible, you gain more than you lost.

Every single situation has some pros and some cons. And to survive the aftermath is possibly in the hands of self. Change is a revolution. If it aims to create fire, it will. If it aims to create peace, it will. It is inevitable and will continue to remain same, come what may...

This is never going to end!!!
