PURE HAPPINESS LIES IN THE HEART

This time I decided to celebrate my birthday in a different manner.In a manner which gives happiness to those people who have never seen the face of happiness since they took birth.I planned my visit to an orphanage.Sharing my smile to them can make my heart grow fonder.When I entered that place I found it painted with different colors of joy .  I heard kids crying out "sister,sister!".I saw them running towards me and the most youngest one hugged me.I felt as if I m in the arms of the God.His little arms were holding my thighs tightly and he cuddled himself under my arms.I had goose bumps and a drop of a tear came out of my eye.I had no idea how to control my emotions flowing out.We often get such emotions seeing anything heart capturing but we just ignore it and move on.Once just try to stand still in that moment and feel the warmth of divine love and compassion. I was in a dilemma that whether I should cry or just smile with him. He has no toys to play ,no colorful or funky clothes to wear.But he had that curiosity and love in his eyes which was beyond all worldly pleasures.They all surrounded me and wished me birthday by kissing my cheeks.I was just silently feeling the heaven I was in.It was full of satisfaction and ecstasy.

This feeling was far above the feeling we have in getting all material happiness.We flaunt our  lavish luxuries and attain satisfaction with the mere praise we get.But those kids ,they smile for the single daal and chapati they get,for the broken car they get to play and for the single new cloth they get as a gift from any unknown visitor.I saw them laughing and dancing while  getting just a a single set of stationery . They were happily unwrapping the gifts they got.They were so glad and satisfied with those things which we are very trivial for even a middle class family kid.We just reject a dress saying it does not fits me well.They have never worn more than two new dresses in an year.

We never respect the small bubbles of happiness floating beside us instead we just break them in the search of something big.One day instead of dining in an Five star restaurant just have some street stalls dosa Just get down from your a.c car and get some ice creams for the poor kids working in some place.These are some trivial things which makes others smile and hugs our heart with compassion.
