Show Me The MONEY!!!

"Money"- one thing for which the law of marginal utility fails. You would never hear a person saying that one has enough money or doesn't have anything in mind which he/she could use it for or maybe at a particular point in time not able to think of atleast two things which he would wish to spend it on.

You hear some people saying that they don't want money or want just enough for something and thats it but then you see the same people getting excited about certain things. And if those people are close to you, what would be your inference? I would suppose that those things would make them happy or even get that lil glint in their eyes. What would you do if you were me? I am unsure what you would do but I would guess that your obvious answer would be I would get it for them. Ok...rightly said. So then where is the contentment?

I always feel that being content is a manifestation of one's brain or an assumption which one wants to live with or a mirage which one creates for oneself to tell themselves that they are happy (more so if they desire something but its difficult to get it, mind it, I wouldn't say impossible because it is never impossible).

So conclusion is that everybody desires something that one doesn't have and for that everyone needs money more than what one has.

true enough. But how's this .. I desire lots of things .. and then I enjoy giving them away. I enjoy the feeling I get in knowing that nothing means a whole lot to me.

Am i simply a nutcase???

Happiness - what is it?

What is being Happy? Is it a feeling or is it a state of the mind? These days I am trying to figure out how does one know that one is happy...sometimes i feel it is possibly only a notion towards which we all plough, work and toil and think that one day we would be happy. To most of us, probably achieving happiness is being happy but in reality we don't achieve the summit ever so does that mean we never attain the actual happiness. Lez take a step back and think about few notions of happiness: 1) When a chaild is born, everybody around him/her is happy, Why? bcoz he is born? but then that is also shortlived since you will probably find the same people getting tensed and "unhappy" about his/her future etc. 2) When children scroe good marks, but then that is also frivolous because after one exam , there is always another 3) When one gets a promotion or pay hike, but then there is always room to go up and do better than one is doing 4) When one visits a place, maybe just the...

Impressions in life- "Tu pyar ka sagar hai"

Some things in life seem to stick to your heart. You dont need a reason for it , they simply might be things which happen at a point in time or during a time period and therefore get impressions of what is happening in ur life at that time. For that matter, they could simply be certain songs. "Tu Pyar Ka Sagar" is such a song in my life. The song seems to emit an energy and feelings which seem to tear ur heart out and take you to a different era of your life all together. Though I don't recollect anything but I do relate to it somehow. I dont have any memories except some people singing it (one of them being me) and those some people seem everything to you. You can see their faces as well as their emotions like a clear glass still in front of your eyes. It seems you are again in the same moment but when you come back you are all the more happy that you not there or at that moment. Such is the affect that the song makes you realize todays imporatnce viz a viz those day...
