Happy

Happy.
Its a nice word. I like it.
I like it the same way i like the words chamgadad (bat in hindi) and obnoxious.
They sound nice to say, the way they roll off your tongue.


So what makes you happy?

Does a direct jump from 70% in pre-boards to 91% in boards make you happy?
In my case it doesn't. As yet, i'm not sure why.


So, what does make you happy?

Some will think me crazy reading the things listed here. The dumbest things can make me happy, somethings that are worthless to others.

Like rain. And a cloudy sky.
I'm a sucker for rain. A bit of drizzle makes my day.
And i love cloudy days. They're lazy, not too bright, not too dark. Also, you never can guess what time is it, on cloudy days. It might as well be evening, though its afternoon.
I like that feeling of time-less-ness.


Then, i like stuffed toys. The fluffy and cuddly ones. They just make you wanna hug them.


Nice soft songs that you can sing along with, songs that remind you of things, especially songs that you used to like, but haven't heard for a while make me happy.
Listening to them, the world seems... I dunno, perfect?


And yeah, my parents and friends make me happy. Just seeing my mom smile at me everyday in the morning makes me happy.


Long endless drives to nowhere at night make me happy. Delhi is beautiful at night. Especially on windy days.


And yeah, obviously, wind makes me happy. Strong, chilly gusts of wind.




Thats about it. I'm sorry, but gadgets, marks, t.v. serials, food and other worthless,pain-in-the-ass, materialistic things don't (stuffed toys are NOT materialistic thingies).

The things i've listed above, i THINK they make me happy. Cause i don't think the feeling they cause could be described as anything else.

That feeling of completeness. Like life couldn't be better. As if there's nothing more you need. Actually, sometimes, there isn't.

Tips to be happy;

1) Take LSD
2) Go to an ashram or something in search of spiritual enlightenment.
3) Find alternative uses of stuff lying around you and delight yourself by seeing how creative you can be. Think Crisco.
5) Plot Aditya's murder
6) Meditate upon the benefits of murdering Aditya. Make sure you read forensic analysis techniques; I suggest that you should wear surgical gloves, cover your hair (no trace of you should be left; it's amazing how many people have been caught due to strands of hair), use a size or two larger sneakers, and make sure that your clothes don't have any fibers on them.
Then kill him in school by stuffing ice down his throat; as it's the summers it will melt in no time and everyone will be in a tizzy finding the murder weapon.
7) Do it.
8) Figure out ways how to change the world; I know this is getting a bit cliched, but I can't help myself.
9) Commit suicide; that's supposed to be the most liberating experience of all.
10) Did I mention LSD?

One last thing; dude are you a virgin?

Happy. Reminds me of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

I love odd things. Unexpected things. Things I didn't think would happen. They make me feel like anything might just be possible.

I completely agree with you about the pain-in-the-ass things. Except gadgets.

@George von Neuman: Did you try (1), (2), (9) or (10)?

Midnight Sun said...

why snow white and the seven dwarves? I think snow white had a sucky life. eating poisoned apples is NOT a good hobby. As for the dwarves, they're tiny,fat things.
funny that happy reminds you of them.
But i understand the unexpected things part. That happens to me too.

@Prachi:
1) Yes, I have taken LSD. That has to be one of the most important things I have done in my life.

2) I did try to find a shinto priest or a zen guru over here but no luck and I don't have enough money to go to Japan or China, maybe I'll do that when I am in college.

Instead, I got the consolation prize; I went to the bookstore in search of spiritual enlightenment. I found a book on the philosophies of zen Buddhism. Let me tell you, it's insanely great.

In case your wondering. No, I don't believe in god, I will always be atheist but it's just that the philosophy interests me.

9) I did try it as an experiment when I was in 9th grade. However I didn't feel anything at all, strange isn't it? I held a knife to my wrist and went through the motions of slicing through but it had no effect on me.

10) I think I did.

Monkey With Keyboard said...

Happy was one of the Seven Dwarves, that's why.

@GVN: You have? No wonder. You might want to actually DO (9) instead of just pretending or going through the motions.

George von neuman said...

@Prachi: Sure, I'll think about it. What about a mass suicide drink the kool aid style?

Anyway talking about the seven dwarfs, they were each on different little trips.

Happy was into grass and grass alone... Happy, that's all he did. Sleepy was into reds. Grumpy. Too much speed. Sneezy was a full blown coke freak. Doc was a connection. Dopey was into everything. Any old orifice will do for Dopey. He's always got his arm out and his leg up. And then, the one we always forget, because he was, Bashful. Bashful didn't use drugs. He was paranoid on his own. Didn't need any help on that ladder.

Midnight Sun said...

ohk. You did a lot of research there. But anyways, mass suicide is NOT COOL OR A GOOD WAY TO HAVE FUN.

Anuj said...

Nah, I had help from George Carlin.

Come on ritual mass suicide is the most insanely great thing anyone can ever do. If it wasn't so, then why do you think that people throughout history have done it?

Monkey With Keyboard said...

Coz they were gifted with all the intelligence of lemmings, perhaps.

Anuj said...

Good point.

Midnight Sun said...

i agree
