Happiness: What It Is And What It Is Not!

Are you happy? Think! Because it’s an important question to ask and it’s even more important to answer it correctly. And it’s your answer that will decide if India’s future is happy or not! To mark the release of ‘World Happiness Index’ Times NIE curates this super special feature on happiness!

“To be happy is not the ultimate aspect of life. It is the fundamental aspect of life. If you are not happy, what else can you do with your life? Only if you are happy, can other great possibilities arise in your life.” — Sadhguru

Only god’s own children can remain happy all the time, the rest of us can just try not to be a  ‘royal mess’  in the head. The above lines mentioned in one of the blogs of spiritual guru Sadhguru very categorically summarise why it’s of supreme importance in life to be happy. Nothing, absolutely nothing, else matters. So why are we suddenly feeling so spiritually charged, you may ask. Well, it’s because of the recently-released ‘World Happiness Index’  in which India, the land of nirvana and spiritual awakening, ranked 122nd among 155 countries. What makes us feel even worse is that even Pakistan and Bangladesh rank better than India. Food for thought...




Be happy because...  
  • It promotes wellness
  • Happy people rarely fall sick, and they live longer
  • It’s good for relationships
  • It adds to your productivity
  • It boosts your ability to cope with stress and trauma

Happiness is the satisfaction you get when your loved ones show affection towards you, when your friends looks at you with faith in their eyes and when people approach you with the believe of a help. Happiness is not the treasure of money you have or materialistic stock but it is the treasure of satisfaction and good behavior which is originated from your inner heart.

Ayushi Pandey LILAVATI BAI PODAR (A)-SCRUZ

There are different definitions of happiness for every person. Happiness for me is sitting with my family and sharing the most beautiful moments together. Happiness for me is writing brilliant poems and stories. Happiness for me is sitting on the couch with a huge tub of popcorn and watching a cricket match! This is how I enjoy life with full freedom.

Akshita Pandey LILAVATI BAI PODAR (A)-SCRUZ

Happiness is when you help someone, sit with your family and enjoy the moment. Happiness also means having fun with your friends. It is a key element for a better and prosperous future. Whenever you are happy sitting with your friends and family members, you forget all your sorrows and enjoy that moment. Happiness can be found when you see a smile on someone''s faces when they get a gift or they are re-united with their loved ones. Happiness is immeasurable.
