The Quest for Happiness..

Once upon a time there was a princess. She had wanderlust..she wanted to know the unknown,see the unseen,experience the novelties of life. So one night she abandoned the comfort of the palace,patted her pet cat goodbye and took off...to the vast world waiting for her with outstretched arms...

She went to the place of her dreams; the same starry blue sky,the same lush green meadows, the same sweet people--her dream came true!So she had to be happy,don't you think?But alas, for she did not feel the happiness she had come to search for!There she roamed, lonely as a tree, pale with sorrow as a winter night, cold with disappointed as a gloomy sky...

Lets leave the fairy tale for a while and think..is it not the tale of our own?Aren't you the princess,lost in her own desire searching for happiness?We all search for the happiness..day and night. We have dreams about happy lives and we try to pursue the dreams, we leave all our belongings to go on the voyage towards happiness,only to realize that we can never reach there..Thats the mystery of happiness;thats the lure of the quest for it;because it's ever so illusive..The princess couldn't find it even when her dreams came true;have you,O Traveler,have you found it?Look at your dark heart,all the unshed tears,all the unforgotten memories;and tell us:have you known happiness?ever?

  1. yes,this is our own story...
    we run after the "happiness",but forget to stop.
    when we become tired of running,we pause...
    then we notice, we have lost the moments...
