What is Happiness?

I was just reading through an article, when this quote caught my gaze.

'Happiness is the most important thing in the world, without it, you live a life of depression' - Marilyn Monroe.

So what is happiness? It can't be defined. I just read about the news of the passing away of robin Williams and it was truly shocking to hear that a man of such high worth would end his life. To me he was the best at his game but that did not mean he was happy with his life. It's easy to put on a facade and move on as if nothing ever happened. It's easy to pretend; to put on a show. You might be able to convince the whole world that you are happy with your life but if you can't even belive it yourself, then I tell you there's no way you can move on in life. Cause one day it will get to you. Happiness is what you make of life. You get to chose your destiny. Destiny is not a fate. Happiness is what you make of life. At the end of it all, life is made up of all the choices you make. It can't be blamed on persons or situations. It's all your doing. And in the end you can either gloat in the glory of your success or sulk in the misery of your choices.
Make your life worth the while! :)

Brown Family Problems #2

And continuing from my previous post.. Dowry as I said earlier is kind of like a price tag. You hit the bull's eye when you get your target right on the money. It's quite a debated topic with a lot of laws in place to abolish the practice of accepting dowry; but that's all just in paper. In order to come into effect it's gonna take a long time. It basically means changing the mindset of a chunk of society which can be quite the challenge. Another thing about Indian marriages or so would be the qualification of the bride and groom. If the bride is a doctor then she can only get married to a doctor. Equally important is your religion or caste . Getting married to a person not from the same caste or religion is like the biggest sin anyone could commit.If He/she proceeds with a marriage of such sort, they would bring on themselves the shun of society and family. The family would practically disown you and kick you out. Trust me I am not exaggerating when I s...

Darkness and light

An eye for an eye. Tit for tat. These are things that we have grown up listening to. Many circumstances in life hurt us. People and situations can have such a bad impact on us. Some people lash out in their anger without thinking the problem through. What were the circumstances behind the lash out or the reason behind such illicit behavior. Revenge might seem like a very good option. Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can . While watching a movie, this line got stuck in my head. I'm a person who strongly believes in this. It's always darkest before the dawn. So how ever bad a situation in your life gets, you should believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Same goes for those who believe in revenge. There is no need to rush off at someone who fired out at you or put you down. If you believe in revenge; it shows you are actually a weak person. It shows you are not able to withstand the downfall and rise up on your own. You are a person who w...

Fate or Destiny?

It's probably the most debated topics out there. One always wonders whether he lives a life that is just his fate's way or is he living his destiny. Now there is, quite a big difference between fate and destiny. Essentially they are opposite in meaning. Fate is something bad or rather negative in nature. On the other hand, Destiny is positive . Fate is what happens on its own. It's unpredictable and the course of its nature cannot be changed. It happens regardless of what you might think or do. Whereas destiny is what you make of life. Everyone can chose their destiny . It's all the result of their choices over a period of time. I'm a staunch believer. I believe God is the reason for my existence and survival. So in between the fate and destiny, there's one big person that actually determines your life. And that is God. You might think it's karma when u start suffering. But in fact all that wouldn't happen if God did not want it to happen in yo...
