Happiness & Money : Directly Proportional





I often hear people say dont run behind money. It ruins your happiness and even will make you mad and a small observation i made has led me to conclusion, every time people who made this statement had enough money for themselves.


Past 50 days i ve been working more on my psychology and thinking more about the philosophical, devotional things, then about how life works and many other things. All due to the devastation happened 50 days ago in my life...

What does any  of this has to do with money ?? Here goes the stor(y)(ies)

Two tsunamis occurred in my life recently due to which my heart very pounding with pain. I ve done so many things to come out of them. One of them is going to Barista. It was very accidental how i went there and im in a very very sad mood at that time. One very big sofa there attracted me and i sat on that. I had a ginger lemon tea there in that very big sofa. So after 3 or four sips of tea a sudden feeling of happiness came. I don’t know why, but that feeling of having tea relaxed in very big soft cushioned sofa with my hard earned money was so immense, with every sip from there the feeling got increased which filled my heart with joy. The happiness lasted for so much of time. I slept peacefully after so many days on that very night.


Today i went to the movie THE AVENGERS. Prior to 20 mins of going inside the theatre, i am so sad that even lost the mood to watch the movie due to a phone call received from one of my college friends. I planned to spend this weekend so happily from last 10 days, but 1 call made everything go away. Just then magic happened .I entered inorbit. Saturday evening inorbit mall will be a sight which no one would like to miss.
It will be so crowded and COLOURFUL; every heart will get some happiness there, then the movie. It was so amazing, dialogues , action........... Everything. Then i had mangoes in Hyderabad for first time which were so tasty. Then i watched a very good funny telugu movie which tripled or quadrupled my happiness out of which this post was made.

Tomorrow i m planning to go ocean park ,Hyderabad with other 2 of my friends, which i named mini ZNMD tour. I m very happy and excited as i love water and water sports very much, waiting so desperately for sun to rise and the clock to touch 11 am.

The End . (only to stories)

So again what does any of this has to do with money??

Due to one of the new venture i have entered  in April i lost nearly 60 % of my salary and was left with sufficient money to survive for the month. I have spent 3 weekends in my room without going out which need money. So when i m roaming  on road with around rs.300(almost the remaining  for the month ) in my pocket on last weekend of April i saw barista ,which i m planning to go from so many days and entered without any second thought. Next day my salary will come.

After 3 or 4 days of barista incident i found that bill while cleaning room and i realized after few moments that i m so happy that day and i again became happy at that moment in my room. A number caught my eye suddenly. The amount on the bill. THE AMOUNT. Then i thought, about the amount. Apart from my sadness before entering, the tea, sofa what is the reason behind all the happiness i felt on that day ? It was bill i paid. Yes the bill.

Without that money in my pocket i could have never entered barista that evening or order that tea very proudly or sit in in that sofa. So it made first impact on my mind. The money. The  rectangular pieces of printed paper. With out three of them in my pocket on that day and assurance that i wll receive my salary next day ,no barista, no good feeling, or that very happiness i have experienced that evening wolud never have been there



After that venture i had in month of april ,and even in may i screwed with the venture and lost money again. So i planned budget so carefully for june that weekends can be enjoyed to a full level of happiness for which money is required again. Yes money. It has be there for any thing we do in this bloody world.

Then the avengers. While returning back from the theatre i m so happy with the movie, had great sub @ subway which i have customized so well for the first time then Kwality walls ice cream . Then i saw some beautiful mangoes which i have brought without any hesitation and negotiation. In college days many students get limited amount from parents for which students has to adjust for so many things in which i m also one. So sometimes situation comes that even for small things you cant take money out of pocket and have whatever you want. The case will be different when you are earning. When i m having mangoes in room i got this feeling that ,yes when i saw mangoes and rate was high i did not hesitate to buy.that pleasure of having mango with my hard earned rupees gave me immense amount of joy. The movie, sub ice cream mango .   Where have all this come from . Money out of my pocket . MONEY MONEY MONEY ....

Tomorrow ocean park. Why i m confident that i would have very god time there.???
Fisrt i can enter that compound by paying the entrance fee then i can have any ride or eat whatever i want inside for which i had saved enough. Even thinking about the name a smile was just appearing on my face. so again for having that great excitement money was required.

I observed the world around me .the keyboard on which every thing i m typing now, the monitor which i m seeing, CPU, the tube light behind me , fan, the chair, then the room, even the water i m having. There was not even 1 thing that can be obtained without THE rectangular pieces of printed paper, without them  suddenly it seemed world will not function

Suddenly the statement money can’t buy happiness and the people who propagate it were seemed like a bunch of fools to me. Previously i used to be a member of that team. The incidents which are happening to me shows that money and happiness are directly proportional to each other and the state of happiness in current world around you can never be attained without the rupees. The movie or the mango or the ice cream from the small thing to many big things in life cannot be obtained without these printed papers.

HAPPINESS MONEY ...they both were two thick friends no one can separate them. for..yes no happiness without money ... and this whole post resulted  due the thoughts ...am i running behind money ?? why am i so attracted to it ?? and the answer came ...no i'm not..i m going along with every one ..  it was all for happiness..everyone on earth working for money need it to attain the state of happiness at some point of time.just only for the little or big smile on his/her face and for the people who depend on him/her.

Finally i conclude happiness and money are directly proportional.

enjoy the song

A coolest way of welcoming -1

I went to my home last weekend after 2 months..
.
in the previous visit i went and came back to Hyderabad with reservations for traveling and felt no trouble...
but  this time  everything was sudden...my mom want to see me..my brother is coming back from college for summer vacation after 5 months...it was the season of mangoes and haven't eaten even 1(in Hyderabad i didn't find the varieties of juicy mangoes that i find in my home town KAKINADA) ...and i desperately wanted to taste the new pickles made my mom... 


so after coming from office late night @ 1am ... i  decided to give a surprise to my mom .. so i started from my room in gachibowli @5 am..and i got an auto to station for rs.60..which is a kind of miracle...
reached station @ 5.40 am and had breakfast in a nearby restaurant...at 6:10 i got ticket... im in a tought that there would be only few passengers as it was hot sunny day..to my surprise ..every reserved & unreserved boghi was fully occupied....i ve decided to stand and got into train...


after an hour the train finally moved...and an hour after that my legs started aching....the pain is getting incerased minute by minute.. i cursed my self for making such a stupid plan for a surprise visit..with no option left ..started to bear the pain .at the same time enjoying the conversations of people....


i always find unreserved boghis very attractive ..with the different kind of people with different different characters ..and their conversations..ranging from local to international politics...from agriculture to latest tech gadgets...and especially i enjoy  different accents...


around 11 am i managed to get a seat..and at the same time i entered the sweating zone...sweat is coming out of body after many months..in hyderabad there will be no sweat at all........temperature may be around 40degree centigrade..and the sun is very generously giving all the heat it has to earth...wiping sweat is the only thing i ve done for next 7 hours..even the chilled water bottle turned hot in minutes...with all the frustration of 11 hrs travel i landed at samalkot...place 16 kms away from my home...cursing myself again for the stupid plan...


all of a sudden ....the turned sky black from blue...the sun disappeared...cool air welcomed me...my whole body refreshed....no sign of sweat...a big smile appeared on my face...and it rained....no words to express my happiness... i was fully drenched...enjoyed every drop of rain....then got an auto to my home...


 in auto saw something strange..a boy of nearly13-15 yrs ...took his shirt off..and gave it to his mother for covering head from getting wet...i was fully amazed...i will never do that..i saluted that boy in my heart..and continued to enjoy the rain.... i again got wet ..enjoyed the rain once more...


 i was truly elated by the surprise i got from the nature ....& it was the first time i experienced this kind of happy situation in my life... nature of my home town welcomed me ...the tought that she recognized my arrival..made me very happy and feel like santiago in the novel the ALCHEMIST... i didnt even remember the pain & frustration i felt the whole day....it just vanished in a second ...


with the very happiness i entered my home.. found the happiness in my mom's face to watch both of her sons together after 5 months...and  concluded that my sudden journey got its worth.....


with cool air ..rain..boy in auto...then my mom....that day was a beautiful memory...thanks to the nature...i thanked my self for making such a good plan to come home..or else i would have missed this happiness i got :)..and i felt that was the coooooooooooooooolest welcome i ever got anywhere...any time.......
