Surprise surprise surprise...

...here i come with the second one already!!!! and that is because I can't sleep and my mind is full of random thoughts and heart full of the urge to post these.

Firstly, I just thought of counting the number of people around me, the people who I know well, who are happy with most things happening in their life. I wonder why this one came but I find my result of this analysis very intriguing. I know 1 (yes, only one) person who I am sure as hell that they are happy with their life right now. Now, there could be a few caveats I want to acknowledge that I am aware of, before I start reading too much into that number. Firstly, maybe I am not really in sync with most of my friends because of various reasons that I think are irrelevant to the point that I am making here. Secondly, I might not be the best judge of people and not really able to understand or be sensitive to their feelings or for that matter might not have the ability to build an accurate understanding of whats on their mind. Finally, you might argue that I do not know enough people to have a large enought sample set to base any inference on. On the last one, I would argue back asking you to go and check out the number of people on my friends list on facebook (hahaha...this one is such a fraud argument since I am hardly in touch with like 5% of that number on a reasonably regular basis...but still I am a management consultant by profession (right now) and I love to support my arguments with facts and numbers).

Anyhow, coming back to the number of 1 that I mentioned. No, I am not lying about it and neither do I think it necessary to name this person. For sure, I have grown quite fond of this person of late and that is also besides the point of this post. Also, I do not want to take anything away from the rest of the people and apologise to anyone who thinks they are not that 1 person and might choose to be offended at being categorised as being unhappy in life. But the fact that they chose to assume that I categorised them in the unhappy category, could arguably be a supporting argument to the fact that they indeed belong to that category.

Now, after all that BS (and I want to state that I have been in top form in BSing of late), I would come to the point or the questions that this analysis forces me to think of. Why are we not happy? Is it something about the age or the age group that I am part of? What would it take for one to be happy or for that matter for us as a group of people to be happy? How does it feel to be happy???? Alright, before I sound too unhappy with life or negative or give you a reason to speculate on the reasons as to what prompted me to ask such heavy questions about happiness, I would stop here with the questions. But I am sure you get the drift, don't you? (If you don't, then dude please surf away from this one and get a life and a brain and a heart probably...)

Aa couple of weeks back, I would have claimed that there were two such people that I knew of but I have recently been apprised of the developments in the life of this erstwhile member of this elite club and I feel sad for how things changed for this one. The even more sad part is that this person couldn't help it. And maybe, most of us can't. Which is something that makes these questions all the more relevant.

No, I would not attempt to take a shot at any of those questions. If could have the answers that number would have gone back to 2! And anyways, I think its more hepp to ask good questions and provide good answers.

Alright, I could go on and on with this one since its so philosophical and I am in that sort of a mood where I am just thinking but I want you to stop reading now and maybe think about this a bit. Maybe...just maybe, that might help that number that I am talking about...hopefully!

I know...this post was unsurprisingly random...
