The Pursuit of Happiness.....

I watched this movie last night, and needless to say, yet another movie has entered my favorites. There r a couple of lines that i fell in love with...and one of it is this/close to this... "its always the 'pursuit' of happiness...like happiness is never meant to be attained forever". I dont think anything can be more perfect than that. And like every philosophical guy tells....happiness is just the occasional up's in a life of downs. But well, EVERYBODY lives just for the occasional up's in life. And, on a personal note....i love the risks to get few moments that UP. More interesting is the fact that, even the thought of them brings a me a smile, makes me happy again.......
I dedicate this to my "pursuit of happiness".....to those few moments that i can recollect in my life which still makes me feel happy!

One of the earliest.....when i traveled on air for the first time.
The days i spent playing a game at the terrace of my home, to think of it, i wonder why did it give me so much glee..but its a thing that i still love remembering.
The day our class made it first for the environmental day competition. Our class surpassed the so-called expectations of every teacher and we outdid the much claimed smart students in another class.
The 12th grade camp day at school and the disco that happened for the first time! We had disco lights and HUGE speakers and Neethu, Ashma, Rani, Shaheen, Shaima and I went crazy dancing.
The last school picnic.
My 18th birthday. With my friends in college and coincidentally there was a chaat corner opened for some occasion by the MBA's and lucky for my friends they looted me.
The day my brother came to India to meet all of us after 4 yrs, and he never told me he's making a trip and just turned up in my college. Now, that is truly a day when i laughed and cried together hugging him. That was one of the days i realized how much i actually miss him.
The day my school friends and i met up in Riyadh after a year and a half's time.
Looking through the window of Saudi airlines till Riyadh disappeared from my view.
The day i read " A walk to remember". That book has a record of me finishing in three and half hours. That book is one that i can rightfully claim un-put-down'able and made a difference in a unknowing funny way.
The day I enjoyed the rains in the streets of kalpathy. (p.s. i have a detailed expl on an earlier post.)
The time I spoke to a friend till 2 in the morning and still didn't feel sleepy because of the number of fairies and magical butterflies all around.
The few times I cried watching movies.....like.. Life is beautiful, A walk to remember, The pursuit of happyness, Forrest Gump, Tare zameen par.
The few times i fell in love watching 2 weird and wacky movies... Elizabethtown and The address.
The 2am bike ride my cousin took me. I felt like I ruled the road!
The second last day at college, where all of us went to the swimming pool and yes! enjoyed THAT moment!
The day i got my first job. I trembled with happiness.
The day of final review. When our circuit worked for the first ever time! I cried. I still think it was a miracle that happened that afternoon.
Finally.....TODAY! when my dentist told me in a months time those braces are going to be off!
and...as a treat for the good news he gave me, i found the book that i have been searching never found for the past 3 years! its called... Ancient Promises. Yes! yet another day in my "pursuit of happiness"
I know...its a meager list, and its my memory that fails not happiness!
