Once upon time, there was small boy living in small town. His age was approximate 10 years old. He was very innocent, honest and full of joy person. He was living beautiful days with full of happiness. His town was very small, surrounding with big mangos trees. A river passes through that town. This small town was the whole planet for him. He never used to wish go out of this town. He used to study hard ,play hard and still used to have ample of time for family. He was beloved child in family.
He used to get 10 Rs/Per day pocket money and it was more than enough for him and he had to think very hard where he could spend this money. And if someday he was given more than 10 Rs it was like “Kuber” spread out all his wealth on this poor boy and the same time it used to become more difficult situation for him that how to spend this money.
He had one cycle which recently his Dad gifted him. It was like his Ferrari, No; I think it was better than Ferrari for him. He used to ride very fast and when he won race competition with his friends while travelling to School. It was like winning the world completion. I think Lance Armstrong
Would not have been that much happy as this child used to be.
Time was passing very fast. He was unaware of how time taking him into new world. That world would be very new for him. As this little boy was good in study and time was in favor of him. He was going well in Study.
Now he is software engineer, Working with a multinational team. He is living in well-furnished flat in a metro city .Now his life has been changed totally. Now every think can be delivered at his door. There are big malls, multiplexes, food plaza where he can get all sort of foods of any corner of the world. Now he watches movies in 3D screen. Now he drives a branded car.
But something is missing. He is missing happiness in life. Now he has everything in his life or he can get every thing what he wish but still not happy.
He does not like food in multi cuisine food court as much as he used to enjoy daal-Roti, served by his Mom. He does not like drive his branded car as much he used to have love for his cycle. Now he does not enjoy movies as much as he used to have fun while watching movies at Friday night on “DoorDarshan” with all family members. Company gives him great salary package but still he wishes for more and think it is less for him to fulfill his desires. But during childhood, 10Rupees used to be big amount for him and he used to face difficulty on how he can spend 10...
One day he decides to think over it why all this is happening with Him. Where he is going wrong or all this is a natural way of life. Why he feels so loneliness in this metropolitan city. Then he startes going back to past.
He searched out a small mountain in the outer city and he reached there at sharp 5:30AM.Luckily Sunrise was about to start. This surrounding was very strange for this person. Because this is very first time in last few years he was seeing Sunrise. All those mild sunrays penetrating his soul. There was no noise as all people were in deep sleep but today, This young boy was lucky and he was witnessing this wonderful sunrise. A very mild, Calm and cool air was flowing and this coolness was very different from His artificial AC office. He was sitting on the top of hill and was able to see the city as long as he can. There was some divine silence was there he was in the clear condition to feel it.
He found out one common thing in all those happiness that there was no association between happiness with money/society status/profit-loss.When he got his cycle ,he never asked his father what is the price of this bicycle, How it is different from what Gupta uncle’s son has and may more.
In childhood, he used to search happiness in very small things/events/happening. That was major thing ,what he lost at present. Now there is business logic associated with everything. If a person is planning to buy a car first he searches which cars his Neighbors own over his personal choice. In childhood he used to have many hobbies. He used to read small stories ,play footbaal,Drawing….He was not expert them at all but all those hobbies used to give him great confidence and ultimately happiness.
But now he is missing all those things. Now it was 8:30 AM and Sun rays were hitting him harder. He left from mountain and went to a school which was basically for orphan boys and girls. He bought many sweets, ballons and toys for those children. When he started gifting them all those stuff to children ,He can clearly see a miraculous shine on those children’s face and it was the same shine once it used to be on his face. The whole day he played all those games with children once he used to play.
The Sky might have been seeing all these happening that is why it turns into different color and started coming black clouds. The Rain started very fast. But today this young man was in different mood ,He was not scared of this rain. He was not trying to save from this rain as he used to do it in this city. He did not stop playing. He was feeling that it is different world and may be imaginary world. But then he felt this is real world and his past in this city was imaginary world.
He was very happy. He had experienced his childhood at that day and he might have achevied achived all those happiness,What he had been looking for since long time.
He experienced real happiness at day.
