When i was young,i loved viewing advertisements,i watched them religiously and with utmost interest. to me these ads were more engaging than the soap operas they sponsored.even now these ads please me like anything! they have a whole world of their own,were they sell 'happiness'. every advert is woven around the concept of happiness. how so& so beauty cream alters your entire persona and wuff!! from a dull plain jane you become a barbie princess overnight with a glowing and ever so growing smile on your face. the tag line of certain pizza joint is 'khushiyon ki home delivery'(so these people are not just selling happiness they are taking it one notch higher by delivering it on your doorstep!!). fashion brands show ads on how their clothes make you go all happie happie and classie classie.
but the million dollar question that i have pent up in my mind is do these things really make us happy? can happiness really be bought?
to me its partly yes and partly no. these things do make us happy and fuel our vain pride but it doest last for ever.it fades away sooner or later.the happiness dies as the object of our happiness grows old.
so after some extensive reasearch( thanks to google!) i have come up to the conclusion that actually our whole definition of happiness is faulty. we relate material possessions to being happy but in our naive glory we miss out on the fact that happiness is not having the best of everything. if this were so then the richest people would have been the most happiest.
happiness is more so linked to our interior than the exterior. its all in our head.
so just deep breathe look in the mirror and smile. some days to youRself. some days to others and sing along
" Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth Because I’m happy Clap along if you know what happiness is to you Because I’m happy Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do''
