Happiness follows....

Yes. I believe that happiness follows, but when?

When you get out of bed (though a bit cranky to get out of it!!) deciding that your day is going to be good, if not great......

When you wear a smile in the morning, which stays all through the day....smiling at your friends, colleagues.....and you mean to smile that smile!

When you begin your day by reading a book in the bus and feel happy that you are making good use of some of your free time....

When you believe that everything around you, may it be the lovely Bangalore weather and the green surroundings around your office, are speaking to you in some way of something......

When you find opportunities to help somebody in the smallest possible way, like cheering up a colleague, or helping a complete stranger for that matter....

When you lend a listening ear to a cribbing friend and help her by giving your opinion, and even if your opinion is what she does not agree with, you know that she got her answer that way!

When you wait for lunch time in office to talk about anything and everything with your colleagues and have a good time in the form of a break.....

When a colleague asks you to play music out loud in the office since you used to play it till a month ago....and you end up getting the name 'Office DJ'!!

When your hooked on the phone after office, talking to a sweet friend and identify with that friend a whole lot, enjoying each part of that conversation....

When you are waiting at the bus stop after office, hoping that you will get a seat...and even if you do not get a seat, you learn small things everyday on that bus ride, and forget that you had to stand all the way....

When you are tired while walking towards home, but you know that you are going to have fun after getting home by just chatting with your sister - cum - friend.....

When you are making a dish after a long time and are super kicked at just the thought of it being ready....not caring how it'll turn out to be.... [ ;-) ]

When your colleagues know and remember your favourite desserts.....and bring it for you without even asking......

When the tea in your office turns out to be better than yesterday.....

When you look at that cute mug of yours which brings a smile to your face and reminds you that there still is a kid in you, and you hope that the kid stays....

When you look at the pen stand at your desk that your college friend gifted you when she was moving back to her city after graduation, and are reminded of those amazing college days.....

When you realise that you've made friends, might be a few, quite fast in a totally new city....that you can trust them....and most importantly that they trust you.....

When you are really low and your friends tell you that they don't like to see you that way and they try to cheer you up.....

When a negative thought strikes you but you wipe out that thought by thinking, looking for something positive.....

When you look at flowers everyday and wish that someday, someone will give you those, and that thought brings a smile on your face.....

When untimely rain strikes the city (possible in Bangalore ;-) ) and sometimes you want to get wet, even though you have an umbrella.....enjoying each of that raindrop on your face....

When you believe that life is an everyday gift, though the gifts might be small - the gesture matters....

Happiness follows, if you find small joys in everyday life.....
