Happiness

Hi Friends,

Here goes the list :

Tiny things which makes me (perhaps "us") Happy :

1. A cup of coffee with your loved ones

2. A warm smile from a stranger

3. Half day bunking to Class/Office

4. A creative work/ an opportunity to be creative

5. Any small gesture of kindness. (eg. A friend helping at your work when deadlines are near, even without saying your brother switching on the fan seeing that you are sweating etc...)

6. A long walk with your loved ones

7. An embrace that lasts a little longer than usual.

8. An outing with friends

9. Filling the car with shopping bags :-)

Hope you loved it. So now, open up. What is your tiny joyous moments. Share them here. I would love to know :-)

What Do I Write ?

When I tell people that I write blogs the first question I receive is “About what?”

In the beginning I used to pause for few seconds to answer this question. But now, I know what I write. I write about many things. Intentionally I avoid few topics like studies ,  negative topics & God.

 First thing I avoid is studies/profession . The reason for me starting this blog is to be out of Profession and I don’t want to bore people with such topic as they would be speaking about that throughout their life.

Second thing I avoid is Negative Topics. I want to be Optimist. Even if I fail to bring a smile in the reader’s face, I make it a point not to bring tears or to feel disconcerting. So almost all my posts have a positive note and few will be pointless (i.e. just for timepass).

The third is God. Well, you know the reason.

What Am I writing after eliminating all these?

I write about nature, society, people, relationships, friends, trust, cheer, fun, teasing, laughter and mainly Life.

I write, if people are not letting an ambulance its way

 I write, if a stranger treats me well.

 I write how to make people love you.

I write, if I am happy throughout the day.

 I write, if friends want me to post something on a day.

I write thanking everyone.

I write about every tiny gift of life.

I write about my childhood.

I write humour & harmony.

Friends! If I have left out something about which I write, please mention it in comment.

So hereafter if people ask me What do I write about. I’ll direct them to this post J

Have a Great Day Ahead J   

Compliment

Hi Friends,

“I will be generous with my love today. I will sprinkle compliments and uplifting words everywhere I go. I will do this knowing that my words are like seeds and when they fall on fertile soil, a reflection of those seeds will grow into something greater.”- Steve Maroboli

Not just girls but everyone likes compliments when they are true.  There are people who do not know to accept a compliment given to them. Compliments can even be false praises. We should be able to differentiate between a false praise and a sincere one.

Sincere Compliments costs nothing but can accomplish many things. It is indeed true that compliments are like seeds . Without compliments I would not have continued this blog. When my friends find no time to read my blog, I insist them to read it. (I am that sort of girl! And they do obligeJ).

When I stop hearing comments from friends, I don’t feel like writing in this space. So Friends, Please do comment on the post. No matter how long your comments are. I’ll even accept crisp comments. But find time to comment. Otherwise I don’t feel like writing.

Yesterday had a chat with a friend of mine. Months together I was not in touch with her. In chat I just told her the blog name and asked her to read when she finds time. The chat was in noon and I became busy with my work after that.

She called me up in the evening. She was so excited while speaking to me. Her voice said that. She was so touched to read my blog  and felt a positivity while reading it. She said that while reading the posts , It was like I’m personally speaking with her. She was happy in her present life , but still something was missing in her life. On reading the blog she felt as if it was fulfilled and she was not left alone. She was able to connect with me.

For a moment I did not know how to bring her back to normalcy.She was in such a excited state. I heartily accepted her compliment and thanked her for expressing her feelings in such a excited manner. Then I made her feel comfortable and brought her to normalcy.

She poured all her stresses to me. She shared all her fears and relaxed herself after pouring all her tears to me. I consoled her. She said that from months together she had not shared these with anyone and kept everything to herself. She added that, she felt like sharing with me alone after reading the blog. I knew she was true. I knew her compliment was sincere. I was touched with it.
Today I am really glad that I started writing blogs. I am happy that I can touch people’s life with my words. I am persuaded to writemore more  when I hear a sincere compliment.  

Practice complimenting. Do it sincerely. Your Compliments truly matters.

Accept compliments gladly when they are genuine. Thank people who compliment you.

I thank everyone who have complimented me till date for this blog! Thank You all!
