Happiness - Its all there in the mind

"Pujo te ar matro 1.5 maash baki!" - "Ajke ekta bhishon long awaited movie dekhte jabo bondhuder sathe!" - "Pujo shopping, yippee!!"

--- Do these thoughts not arouse a sense of acute happiness within you?? For me it works like wonder. Just a thought and everything around seems to frolic along with you. How very truly do they speak when they say - "its all there in the mind".

Have you ever noticed, that its when you are anticipating the good things, is when you feel happy the most? It feels as if something inexplicable is about to happen. Something wondrous, something that is about to change your life.

The thing usually turns out to be a small thing [:P], yes, but the impact is great, nonetheless.

This has happened time and again, but today it happened to make me feel it happening.

Previsioning an event with great positivity and looking forward to it with a greater passion, is what makes an event so special - so unforgettable.

Yesterday morning a friend called me up and said "I'm in kolkata at the moment, when can we meet?". And thus a meet was planned. 3 people based out of different places came together today morning. One from Delhi, one from Patna and myself from Poshchimbongo (as of now).

I hadn't seen them for a very long time and all day, yesterday, I was more than happy about the plan. However, when it finally happened, it lasted for a seemingly short time.The nostalgia never got time to build up. There was so much to talk about, as if on the last day of semester exams and the day just before the semester break began, that the emotion, of not having seen each other in this tenure, never sank in.

Now that its done and over with, I can't help but recall and then recall again, today morning - and of course feel queerly (no pun intended) happy about it and smile all by myself :))
