Well, this a question I ask myself so many times , as to what would gives me happiness. If people around me give happiness , if having a good time makes me happy,if buying something for me makes me happy . Yeah these things do make me happy , but they are so very ephemeral,so very non-lasting. It is non lasting because I keep expecting something or the other always & people around me being humans may not be able to react I way I expect them to always , & though I may buy something good for today , tomorrow I may need something else .
But if I think of it, Iam really happy when I think &I speak & I act the same .Iam happy when I learn something new , Iam happy when I maintain a calm & remain unaffected by situation .But seeking happiness is what Iam here for & this journey will go on till I realize the ultimate truth of eternity.

The Kite Runner
This is my first blog & I write it with much hesitation . So I thought let me start with something close to my heart .
Thanks to my mother , Iam an avid reader . This habit goes back to days in school when I & my sis would read a lot of Tinkle , Disney World etc .Gradually the taste got better over years , though a good comic would still bring back a smile on my face .
Last year or so I got my hands on a book called "The Kite Runner " by Khaled Hosseini. Its a beautiful book & the writer is very prolific . Its about a boy who has his childhood in a war torn Afghanistan , its about how beautiful once the country was , its about how the children are same everywhere . But above all its a story of ironies of human nature . The human guilt that one has . And to get back that clear conscience again , We are all after all caught between two.
Sometimes I wonder whether one bad action of human being makes him do many good deeds just to come out of that guilty conscience. I wonder whether a conscience in making is due to circumstances we grow. And who can define what a clear conscience is .
Hmm , I chuckle & have to say " Its all in the mind "
