It was a wednesday... late in the night. We were coming back from office after a long day. Had been late. Again. All of us had either missed out on a late night 'garba' plan, or missed another chance of goin out with family, or was plain unhappy to be late. Typical end-of-the-day gloom...
Then suddenly, at a traffic jucntion, there was a man selling a small toy for kids... a thread-mounted Phirki and i bought it for no apparent reason whatsoever. I couldn'y play it properly, and soon the whole group in the car was busy trying to teach each other how to do it right, chuckling, giggling and laughing all the time. The next one hour drive was as pleasant and cheerful as could have been.
And I was later left wondering why we need triggers to make us happy and become sad and gloomy spontaneously...
I still keep that Phirki that changed the mood of the car pool the other day. Just hope that somebody or the other keeps inserting a Phirki into each others' lives every once in a while... just for an ocassional heartfelt smile, if for no other reason!!!

Often we spend time and money seeking happiness. We roam from place to place. Indulge in the most lavish exercises. Try buying out all that we can..
ReplyDeleteOnly to realize that instead of wandering around we could have easily found happiness waiting for us. These small and simple objects make a kid infinitely happy. But how many of us actually think there is still a small kid inside all of us..give it something to play and see how happy you will feel.. :)
