Happiness is not a state, its an attitude

This is one of my best experiences I had while I was travelling on a train.
Next to me were a couple, with a 12-14 year old son suffering from some mental disorder. The kid was busy playing in his own world, telling some random things every now and then.
I kind of felt sad for his state, and sad for his parents too. It seemed like he was the only child for them. I thought of showing some empathy to them and asked them if he is suffering from this since birth. His father was like "why do you call it suffering? I think he is in a better state than all of us".
I could not understand that and asked him to elaborate. His father asked me to observe him carefully for sometime and then tell what I feel.
I said he is playing in his own world and is unaware of what's happening outside.
Then the father replied, "So, you consider that as a boon or a bane? From his birth, we have always seen him this way. He is able to find infinite happiness in his own world, never seen him cry unless we bother him to eat/drink/sleep. I consider that he is living a much more peaceful and happier life than all the humans on earth, and that makes me feel contented"
And that day, I decided.
Happiness is not a state, its an attitude!
Its what we choose to see.

Funnies Cricket Commentaries

Dravid: I was just trying to figure out how many overs I gave to Tendulkar and Ganguly (in 2007). Maybe I under bowled
Ganguly there, but Sachin had more Test wickets.
Ganguly: He (Dravid) always did that.
Bhogle: Tendulkar has more Test wickets than Ganguly.
Ganguly: That’s because he (Tendulkar) bowled half his overs on turning pitches in India.
Bhogle: I like how you (Ganguly) are sticking to your territory.
Ganguly: Those turning pitches on day 5 in India. Those dust bowls. I wish I knew how to bowl a little bit of spin.
That’s on flat batting pitches. On good pitches where you needed skill, look at the economy (2.3 rpo in 2007). I did the perfect 5th bowler’s job.
Dravid: Sanjay Manjekar made a really good point in the commentary box. If Ganguly had been a yard quicker and just a little bit fitter, he would have been a match-winner.
Ganguly: I wish I was Prime Minister of India. I could have done a whole lot of things.
Bhogle: I almost feel like not getting into this conversation. I’m getting away, this is some serious sledging. Come on Rahul, don’t be a good boy here.
Ganguly: Ask Rahul Dravid. When he won the toss at Trent Bridge in 2007 in our famous Test series win, England were going at almost 6 an over who did he fall back to?
Dravid: I’m not denying that. I’m absolutely not denying that. I just made the point that if Ganguly didn’t get tired after 5-6 overs, I would have bowled him much longer spells.
Ganguly: I would request the production team to get the spell out and we need a judgement here.
Dravid: Don’t forget the speeds as well.
Ganguly: I bowled 10 overs on the trot for 1/15. I’ve seen biased people, but I’ve not seen as much.
Bhogle: One thing you got to admit Rahul, he (Ganguly) does know his numbers.
Dravid: I’ve never doubted that. His numbers and the numbers of any left-handed batsman in the world, Sourav knows. Ganguly: He (Dravid) must have been happy that he had a player with intensity in his team. A player who cared for the numbers and the game. That’s what you look for as a captain.
Bhogle: I think there’s a reason he (Dravid) under bowled you (Ganguly). As a captain, you made him keep wickets.
Dravid: No Bhogle, don’t needle.
Ganguly: He (Dravid) did a job for the team and I desperately needed him to do that. We became a better team after that.

Boys will be boys

One of my friends during school was head over heels in love with a girl. After pursuing her unsuccessfully for about 6 months, he decided to write her a letter.
Starting with "My dearest Mansi", he went on to write 3 full pages, both sides of an A4 sheet. He poured the entire contents of his heart out on the paper.
His mother meanwhile entered the room and saw what was happening. Out of concern for her son, she asked him, "Are you sure this is the girl you want spend your whole life with?"
He thought for a while, struck off the very first line of the letter and wrote, "My dearest Neha!"
Boys will be boys!

Heartwarming stories

A lovely little girl was holding two apples in her hands. Her mom came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile, "My sweetie, could you give your mom one of your two apples?"
The girl looked up at her mom for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mom felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment. Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mom, and said, "Mommy, here you are. This is the sweeter one."

Mom and Her greatness(Limitless)

Dad to Mom: For the wedding we needed to attend in the evening, we would go along with a friend of mine. He got two vacant seats in the car.
Mom: Ok, I will be ready in time.
(She planned her day accordingly, takes her time in getting ready and just before she was ready to change in the sari for wedding I walked up to her and enquired)
Me: Are you guys going to the same resort that people say is awesome and has so many cool facilities?
Mom: Yeah, you want to come along?
Me: Nah, just enquiring. Anyway only 2 of us could go ...so no problems.
Mom: Ok
(I went out looking for friends to play)
After 10 mins dad came rushing to me: Why are you not getting ready? Your mom doesn't feel like going.. I think she is not feeling well. She said I should take you instead. Hurry up!! We gotta leave in 20 min.
That was probably the first time, a 10 year old had understood what really had happened there. God knows how many times such a thing would have happened before which I didn’t even realize. Also that was the first time I could not help but shed tears for that unconditional love that a mother has!!

Happy Mother's Day

A son took his old mother to a restaurant for an evening dinner. Mother being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on her skirt. Others diners watched her in disgust while her son was calm.
After she finished eating, her son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took her to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed her hair and fitted her spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.
The son settled the bill and started walking out with his mother.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, "Don't you think you have left something behind?".
The son replied, "No sir, I haven't".
The old man retorted, "Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every mother".
The restaurant went silent.
