HAPPINESS IS?!.......:D :D

When I was younger and didn't have a slightest care about this whole wide world , my version of happiness was different. Too many stars on the night sky used to make me happy. A new flower in my garden used to make me happy.That one toffee I get when I search in my mother's bag without her knowing , used to make my cup of happiness overflow. But as time went by , I was pushed into the swirl of books and exams ,where you can think nothing but a bunch of formulas and equations. Gone was the girl without the slightest care. But still I didn't want to leave my mantra of life , "You only live once , so make sure you make every moment count". The easiest way to be ALIVE each moment was to BE HAPPY. So , I began to seek pleasure even from little things that happened in my world. Sure , I too have my blue days , but I somehow find a way to snap out of it.

So , in this post I would like to share some of the things that make me HAPPY!!!!! (No people , I'm not out of my mind.........:D)

1.

If my life ends like Susie Salmon from "Lovely Bones" , this is how my heaven looks like. Loads and loads and loads of books and a steaming cup of tea while its raining outside. I'm pulled to another world created by the author with the "tip-tip" of the rain as the background. Oh! I'm a blessed mortal! Could I ask for more?

2. 

When I talk to my best friends , few hours seems like few minutes. Added to the fact that I'm a chatterbox , they have no choice , but to listen me. (You know , I'm eternally grateful to you for that...to name a few - Aparna , Drishya , Gayathri , Rasly....and the list goes..:D). But it feels so good. I just can't live without talking!!!!

3.

That moment when I finish all my exams I have this feeling to tear up all my question papers and throw it dramatically from the top of a roof. I'm free!!!! That feeling of not having to study a thing and nobody saying anything against it is just overwhelming!

4.

The songs which have loads of memories , the songs which once made you groove , the songs which once made you cry , the songs which give yo the feeling of deja-vu......have you tried listening to it in one go? You should definitely try it people , if you have not done it until now. The joy I get screaming along with Taylor Swift's "Love Story", 1D's "Best Song Ever" and Demi's "Neon Lights" is just awesome!!!! Old songs never fails to bring colorful memories .  And colorful memories always make one happy........:D

5.

I and my cousins have done umpteen movie marathons together. We sometimes watch 8 to 10 films in a go - starting from Rom-Com , Crime thrillers , Fantasy , Drama , Horror , Classics.....accompanied with instant Maggie-noodles ,chilled Rooh-afza , Chocolates and what not! We may be knowing the dialogues of that film by-heart , but still watching it again with your loved ones makes it worthwhile! (Vishal.......Do you still remember "The Exorcist" and what happened afterwards???..:D :D)

6.

When I don't have to set the alarm for the next day , I'm like Olaf during summer times. I love to sleep!!! If I wake up in the middle of the night and realize I still have 4 hours to sleep , I nearly die of happiness. People , world is dazzling if one can sleep enough....:)

7.

Chuck out the part of white wine , but , oh! it just gives me such a thrill at star gazing.Sometimes , I sneak out to my terrace and get lost in counting stars. I just love to draw indefinite shapes in the night sky , without a slightest care in the world and be free from all my worries.........:)

8.

After going through torturous 2 months of summer , I long for a heavy downpour. The moment the clouds begin to break and the first drops comes down to cool the earth , I'm eager to capture them in my hands. That smell of mud and raindrops of first downpour makes me feel on top of the world! 

9.

Happiness is fairy lights!! I always wanted blue and white strips of fairy lights in my room. That feeling when you are surrounded by too many fairy lights , that to at night makes me feel special. I'm content and happy all of a sudden.

10. 

I'm sure most of you have done this. If you see your friend's crush approaching , primary goal of your life is to tease her till her cheeks becomes hot with embarrassment. You call her all sorts of nick names and mocks her , while her crush enjoys the show bemused. (I know this well , because , I , of all people have gone through this.........Courtesy to my darling friends.:P)

11.

Happiness is buying more and more books!!!! (at least for me!) . I know my shelves is in the verge of breaking down and it can't hold any more books , but still I can't resist the temptation of buying more books. It comes to a point when my father has to literally drag me from the bookstores. But folks , the pleasure of writing , "This book belongs to MALAVIKA" with a Deathly - Hallow symbol is just unfathomable.....:)

12.

Forget homework , the moment we get to know teachers are on leave , its like Summer Vacations that came 4 months early. We play the world-famous "Truth or Dare" (Yes , that's right , we are in  class 12 and the super seniors of our School.....:D) , create complete chaos in our class till the teacher from the next class comes to shout at us...:D :D

13.

When I know I have too many people to love , care and worry for me , I feel safe and secure. ( I really miss you guys and I just can't wait to see all of you!)

14.

I was in my Physics Class when I burst out laughing remembering something I did that was so stupid 4 years back. All of my fellow mates were looking at me like I was completely crazy and don't even ask me about the teacher. But that gut feeling after it made me happy folks. I was happy and I was glad that I did something stupid that was worth remembering.....:D

15.

And finally thinking about all the happy things make me happy. The silly things I did together with my friends , jokes we cracked , our hang outs , happy times with my cousins..........all this makes my life worth living............:)

While you are busy chasing your bigger dreams , never forget to seek pleasure from little things in your life. Because that's what makes one's life worth living.

Till the next time , lovely people!!!!!!!!
