So a bit of catching up ... wrote this piece while recovering from suspected Dengue & more like a viral fever ..
.
At the hospital, Yet Again !
Me and DE are fighting it out
Day before it was - Advantage Krish
Yesterday – Duece & Today - Adv De .
I am NOT Happy !!
.
Came in here again – very grumpy
Did not thank the ever helpful gaurd outside
Who opened my car door as usual
Nor smile a greeting
At the two pleasant & efficient receptionists
Muttered impatient noises throughout
While standing impatiently at the billing counter queue
Scowled at the ever talking trio in the blood sampling room
Nor thank Padma who smooth & painlessly drew my blood
Briskly picked up the small tube and marched downstairs
Handed it over to the friendly technician with a curt –
Need my report in one hours time !!
.
Yes , I demonstrated my unhappiness quite adequately
And the entire hospital staff is to be blamed !!!
.
Sitting @ the reception hall once again
Different steel chair but equally uncomfortable
No lightness of being this time
Only a heaviness of worry
Its a gloomy overcast sky outside
And the tube lights inside seem to lose
A couple of lumens as well to reflect my mood
And I am definitely Not Happy !!
Very unhappy in fact angrily unhappy !!!
.
The coffee counter man rolls out his cart as usual
I walk up , point a 10 rupee note at the hot tea canister
Piping hot steamy extra sugary masala tea
Flows searing down my throat
Lifts up my mood immediately
And shoots up my diabetic sugar level instantly !
.
My head clears out and shrugs off the unpleasant baggage
And I immediately notice the 2 year old moon faced boy beside me
Pestering his burkha clad mom with questions …
How big will she be , little , small ?
What will be her name ??
Will she talk to me ???
Really curious to know how his new born cousin sister will be !
.
Unhappiness eradicated , I am back on track !
.
Is happiness subjective – of course !
Watch me when my platelette count shoots over 150K !!
Is happiness relative - Surely !
You delightfully happy Diwali bonus can quickly turn sour when
You hear your collegue get double of what you got !!
Is happiness contextual – definitely !
Happiness breeds Happiness !!
.
And setting aside philosophy and serious thinking
Lets learn to manufacture our own happiness !
Just a couple of simple nice thoughts
Put inside a relaxed mind
Is all you need for a great Bake !!
And all around you, You can watch
Peoplesavor the fantastic aroma of
Fresh happiness cooking – every day / every hour !!
Yes , happiness is contagious – just catch it !!
