Trouble Maker!
Its 5.53 AM. For the past 5 days, I have slept 2,3,3,4 and 5 hours respectively. Yet I look forward to getting back to the legendary Operations tents. I work from 8 in the night to 12 in the afternoon. Believe me its been a fun ride. Its all gonna come to an end. These 5 days have been extremely busy.. Running around, Trouble shooting and a lot more than I could normally take. Not once was I actually tired, mentally. As physically exhausting as it was, it was a great team to work with and great fun all in all :)

That thing they call HAPPINESS
As I woke up with a smile in the morning, I noticed that I was visibly happy most part of the day. I sat wondering what is it that makes me happy, makes me smile. Often do I feel this way, but its not everyday that i feel this bliss, not everyday that I feel so much at peace with myself. Such a simple question and yet an nonexistent answer. The day I end up answering it, My life would be Utopian!
Come to think of it, I find my happiness in the watching the rising sun along the sea shore, watching the setting sun, the waves! I find it in silence, in solitude, in loneliness, in my freedom to say no and more importantly to say yes! I find happiness in my will, my resolve, in good food, in a country song or in a good book.
I find it in a warm smile, a passionate kiss, a hot cup of coffee, a heartfelt compliment from someone, in watching the stars, deciphering the full moon, staring at the crescent, on a cold winter morning or the unusual showers. I find happiness in a cup of vanilla icecream, the sleep after a hard day work or with the newspaper in the loo :)
At the end of the day, it is what you choose. I am happy if I choose to be so. Happiness comprises of such minute fractions and memories of joy. A kind look or a forgotten act of charity and other such countless infinitesimal pleasurable feelings constitute my happiness.!
As I look back at the happiest moments of my life, strangely its not the cracking the IITs and IIMs that I remember. Its the memories of my family, my friends, the games i played as a kid, time spent with my family that hit me back! Am I surprised? No!!
A smile on someones face because of me is what gives me the greatest joy...
