Impossible Happiness

I believe that we all have some triggers, towards happiness and sadness. During childhood these things were fairly simple, like watching Pokemon after school made me happy. Playing cards with cousins during summer, or watching a India-Pakistan match with family and friends(true till date) made me feel good. But the thing is I never realized that these things were the triggers. 

And just like happiness triggers, there were sadness triggers. Apparently those were pretty simple too, like sitting on first bench by teacher's command, or cycle getting punctured when the repair guy wasn't available, or maybe something like waking up on Saturday morning for school when sleep wasn't letting me get out of the bed, lol. 


And when I think about these things, those were easy to trigger, in both cases, rather possible, very simply. 

But then I grew up, just like all of you, and it became tough. And now we all have to work towards happiness, and apparently sadness loves to jump on this trip uninvited, all the time. And now it's even more difficult to identify these triggers, cause often the stuff that causes happiness, casues sorrow too, (Example : Job)LoL.

And while struggling through this uncertainty, something impossible happens (I believe, with everyone), and shows you that, this one thing will always be there to make you feel good, even great, and becomes the light house for you, in this stormy sea. And more importantly, makes you smile, at least for a while :)

And I call it the Impossible Happiness, and not cause it's almost impossible to happen, but once it is done, once you get it, it's Impossible to lose it. It's gonna be there, I'm sure :)

Character

I love watching movies. It's my favorite past time. And every good movie has something unique. This goes for movies across genres. Of course depending upon your liking and ability to relate or understand certain subjects, you might not like a good movie. But that doesn't mean it's not a good movie. But what a movie buff would always agree is that any movie that gets fan following, does follow one strategy. It sticks to the core subject. It has a character. As long as a movie or a web series sticks to it's core subject and puts in efforts to convey the story without getting slow, it would turn out to be a good movie. If it's an action movie, it should have the best possible action sequences. For a comedy one, you should be laughing your guts out. For a drama, it should touch your emotions. A musical should make you tap your feet.  I believe, just like any good movie, we all have one true character. Some are calm minded, some are outlandishly funny. Some are extremely...

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

Writer's block

It's a phenomenon which a writer stumbles into once in a while. Basically s/he is not able to write anything. Somehow, the thought cycle which connects to words resulting into something meaningful is broken.  In other words, Monday blues. Unable to work. But this is little different with a writer. In an office, there will be an external enforcer (a Boss, in fancy words). But with a writer, it has to be a force within. An Intuition. But that's the thing, right? The urge, the motivation, the intuition, at times, just fades out, once in a while. When the linearity of life just stops bothering you. You fall in love with the concept of dormancy. Basically you become a couch potato (Until your mom starts to scold). But I feel, sometimes this block is a necessity. In terms of  industrial engineering, it is called mandatory buffer. A system should never be run at its max capacity all the time, or it will fail. Just like humans.  In life too, we keep figuring out what's next, all ...
