Tips for Happy Living

People are fascinated with knowing about ‘life after death’. But Knowing about ‘life after birth’ is more important and relevant. Many in this world are merely ‘existing’ , some ‘surviving, a few really ‘living’, a rare few ‘living happily’ and the ratest, ‘outliving life’ itself.

There is a saying in Hindi, ‘catali ka nama gadi-since it is moving it is called a car’. Just because a person is breathing and moving around, is he truly alive? He is merely existing. Some bungle their way through life. Some are seen to be barely surviving one crisis after another-bashed up, hurt and limping through life. Some through manipulation and cunning attain ordinary goals. Some live ordinary lives, that too complaining and cursing. However, some happily dance through life, sporting and playing ordinary or extraordinary roles, gaining mastery over themselves and others, making a mark everywhere they go and touch lives of all rare, and are remembered long after their departure.
