Simple Rules to Happiness

Obliviate and poof! Your memory is lost forever. Or was it because of a spell really?? No, there is no spells that work in this real world. It is we as humans who "forget" the simple fun things in life or may fail to notice them in our daily life and forget to smile and laugh. Why? Does our life get that busy?? Do we just grow out of these phases in life?? Do we have to change ourselves on the inside and out? Where is the joyous reckless laughter that was in us as kids?This really interesting question popped up in my mind when I was out for lunch few days back and watched few kids playing on the sand with kids playing tools, enjoying the sun and sand with some supervisors. It was nice to see them enjoy their time while their supervisors busy speaking on their cell phones. It made me wonder all the fun we miss out on nowadays.

I recall all those “childish” things which but still give u the ultimate pleasure and joy. Think about it. How much fun would it be to race with your friends and jump over a compound?? Yeah!! How many of us remember to do all these??

How much fun would it be to

1. Scream out loud until you feel your throat goes soar? Remember all those cheering we had as kids on the cricket ground!
2. Sit upside down on the sofa?
3. Stand on the table and feel tall?
4. Go dance in the rain?
5. Hide behind a door and do "BOOOO" for the next person who comes in?
6. Run behind someone and hug them from the back? (Too Girly ah!!)
7. Pour a mug of water on someone and get the same right back at you?? The festival of Holi, Ed and Diwali celebrated together. (Shahid Bhai- can you forget the Holi and Diwali celebrations we used to have back in those days)
8. To go on a race, n get ready on the line, but run backwards and let the other person run to the finish line?
9. To lock your siblings when they are in a shower??
10. To go down a lane in your bicycle without holding the handle?
11. To wear your dad's shirt and also try out his big huge round glasses if he has one?
12. Go down the stairs by jumping two at a time?
13. Or much better, sit on the railings of the stairs n go "wwwhhhooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
14. Meet school and college friends on weekends and Play Galli Cricket every Sunday afternoon

I can go on and on about these small but really refreshing things. One thing I must confess in spite of writing this blog, that I miss doing all these small things. Next time you feel stressed out or feel that u have grown up, just try one of these "how much fun??" rules and get that hilarious laughter out of u. Do not "obliviate" all these simple things from ur mind!
