Happiness
Happiness is a feeling which I guess everybody in this room want to own/have with them throughout their life.
Have you ever thought why some things bring us happiness or joy whereas some things bring us sorrow?
I don't want to answer that question but let me tell you few stories from my life.
I was in my 10th class and was going to write boards that year. During those days I always tried to compete with my 3 best buddies. In March I sat for my exams and was waiting for the results. It was hot sunny day and results were going to declared at any time. Soon my father brought my result from CBSE website. Unfortunately I secured around 59.8%. But I immediately went to my father and asked him to check the result of to my buddies. I gave him their roll numbers. Within 2 mins I was having a look at their results. There marks were looking less than mine but without losing any time I calculated their percentage. One of my buddies got 56% and other one got barely 50%. I was very happy and was on cloud nine at that time. I was happy because I have secured more marks than my best friends. As everybody say you should be ahead of competition and so I was. Next few days many people asked me about my result and later on showed pity on my marks. That thing made me very sad and looked miserable. Actually my happiness was depending on how I made myself believe in.
In my college last year during august-September, my only dream was to get placed in a company with a minimum of 6 LPA. My college placement season has already started. A lot of companies started visiting our campus during that season. I was having low GPA and being mediocre in studies was not very confident that I will be able to get a job. 1 month passed and during that month I have already experienced some technical test of the companies. I made some decision that I will only apply for the programming jobs and even if it pays less salary I will go for it.
My luck didn't play a fair game that time. Whole placement season passed and I was not able to get any job. I was completely depressed and lonely. Soon it was also the time to vacant college premises. 12 June 2013, that was the day I arrived home without any job. The only thing that was roaming in my mind was job and get a job in programming. For your information, let me tell you I was having metallurgy background and I was not knowing any ABCD of programming. Out of my interest and curiosity, I enrolled online programming courses so that I could be familiar with the basic programming. Online material helped a little bit but I was not even sure which course I should choose as there were many options. So I joined 5 to 7 of them. In the end, I completed none. I was getting restless so I started applying online for software jobs. My mother suggested me to go to Bangalore to my uncle. Soon I was in the silicon valley of India, Bangalore and there was a very pleasant environment. I started giving interviews and within few months I got an offer from Accenture. Finally, I was very happy to get an offer from IT company.
My Happiness didn't last for longer. I joined Accenture in 2014 and within 6 months of joining I was feeling sad and depressed. I was sad because I was getting less salary and I didn't like the work there. I wanted a development work but was not able to get that. Dec 2014 I Joined another company which promised me to give me development work and 100% hike on my present salary. I immediately joined that company. I was happy and that happiness also not lasted for a long time.
One thing I figured out that there was some problem and that problem was within me. I was in a disturbed stage. It is not that this thing has happened me for the first time. It kept happening with me again and again. I wanted to get away from these things as soon as possible, My mother told me something which consolidated me a bit.
Those answers gave me some a relief, a satisfaction and an energy to look forward.

Do you want to hear those answers and want to apply to your life?
- Appreciate, Appreciate and Appreciate- life has given so much to you but have you ever shown any gratitude towards it. Guys let me tell you right now, right here it is good to be alive.
- Be in joy and Bring joy. Guys if you are in misery and covered with problems then the only thing which you will bring is sadness or worries. You should be happy if you want to spread happiness to others.
- Drop the pretenses: Do those things which you wanna do? For example, have you watched movie Barfi? Ranbir Kapoor has beautifully played the act of barfi. The person who finds joy in everything, the person who cannot say or hear anything still wants the world to be a happier place.
- Sometimes it is better to bend rather than break: Sometimes . It's better to not be so rigid in your thinking that you are not willing to change your ideas when the facts show you should.
- Physical Exercise: A person who is not doing any physical exercise is actually bringing depression within himself. Daily exercise helps you to increase blood circulation, energy balance.
- Photoshop your life: Let you bad memories fade away. I know we cannot avoid bad incidents, tragedies but at-least we can only recollect good and beautiful memories.
