How often does it occur to you that you start planning to write something and you don't get the right words to start with. At least this happens to me quite often. I write I press backspace, again write and then press backspace button. And in the end I do not get the right words and eventually start with something totally unrelated like what I am doing here to get the flow.
Pursuit of HappYness - though the title suggest has nothing to do with the movie and its central character Christopher Gardner and his acting on the favorite Hollywood theme or say any movie industry theme, where the hero suffers in the beginning of movie but carries special talent, shows special traits and emerge as champion in the end. Whatever!
I have been thinking lately what people actually look forward for? And reached on conclusion that everyone in this world runs to achieve a single goal - "to get happyness". Crap about being a business czar, a famous personality, a powerful officer or even anything better than their current status is just the mean to reach the common goal. Probably that's the reason we find few people happy with life though they are running with minimum support system and why some people are frustrated to the core even though they are filthy rich.
Happyness can be as simple as getting a tasty chicken burger while standing in the burger shop with appropriate change in pocket or it can become abstract and complex as understanding the mindset and thought process of someone standing in front of you. Well chicken burger was an over do, but I can't help as I am dreaming of eating it since past two days. But definitely one of the most amusing and difficult thing is mind reading until and unless you have paranormal powers.
And as the saying goes we get bored with the thing which we get in plenty and then evolve to aspire for something else every time we achieve our milestone. Take for an example, when we were kid balancing on the bicycle gave us utmost pleasure as we achieved the goal, same was with getting into our preferred course in graduation or later to our preferred job or even seeing India winning the cricket world cup this year. But question is how long does it last, and how quickly we forget the achievement and aspire for something bigger, something better to reach the ultimate goal. Or probably we as human being are never satisfied with what we are, where we are and the reason behind being 'we'. So ultimate goal is just a mirage rather than being a reality till the moment we get or shall I say 'accept' the ultimate GYAN that - rather than running behind something unknown just enjoy the moment because nothing last longer, neither happyness nor the sadness. A friend of mine recently quoted a very nice thing, it goes as -
"The problem is when ambitions don't meet abilities. I have the ambition for a president , but abilities, that's a completely different story. this is what causes frustration most often."
Ending it abruptly as I don't think I have any other random thought for the moment. Rest for later.
I have used Y in place of I for the obvious reason. If still it is bothering you then the reason is - once you figure out what happyness is all about you will not bother whether its Happiness or Happyness.
P.S. - Though I have generalized the idea but there would be many people who would disagree with this. This post is definitely not written you and not even for those who agree to it. And neutrals - Man! why you are even reading this post.

P.P.S. - I may or may not be waiting for the moment where I can say - This part of my life... this part right here? This is called "happyness." So, stop getting the idea.
