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
