In my Pursuit of happ-I-ness….

 “Hello my name is Chirs Gardner” says Will smith in the opening scene. While it may seem the movie is all about an Autobiography of Chris gardner, it isn’t only it.

 There are quite bitter truths that are shared in the movie like the one where will smith explains that Thomas Jefferson got the idea to put it as Pursuit of Happiness rather than Happiness in the declaration of independence stressing it out that its always our pursuit to be happy.

 Now I have been longing to watch this movie another time since a couple of days just to rejuvenate myself and make myself comfortable that life isn’t always the same. And here it goes all of sudden when I feel bored at around 11.45 PM I sign on to watch Mr.Chris Gardner and remembering my life in 2008 i blog upon ....

 I guess there is a Chris Gardner in me too- who dreams Big, who wants to do something for his loved ones, who is in his pursuit of happiness. While ,my life isn’t that complicated as was his in the movie but somewhere down the line I feel that iam trying to mix up many things in my pursuit of happiness. No Comparisons apropos to chris.

 Chris gives me immense strength , bolstering up my energy bringing back verve in my way of thinking. Ruminating of the fact that the year 2008 is going to end in another 2 weeks and ecstatic about the all new vibrant year 2009 I started to think what have I achieved in 2008.

 Brooding over 2008, it has been a fantastic one giving me a chance to prove myself professionally and outsmart my competitors. 2008 started with a high note, I bought my first Car (imagine the first vehicle that I bought in my life is a 4 wheeler…WOWWWW).

 2008 brought in new friends, some who are going t be there with me for lifetime, new experiences, overcome challenges.It helped me understand the true definition of friendship, to identify who would stand by you in tough times, the happiness in giving & sharing love with family, friends, team, society and most importantly Yourself.

 “Its an I in HappIness not a Y.”

 The year was emotionally close to me as it turned out be a second life to Mom and thank god today I am here blogging about it. (Truly Blogging has emboldened me)

 All is not sundry, there have been learning’s as well. There were colors brought in , new spirits and aspirations that sprouted up but unfortunately had to limit them to sprouts itself as the timing didn’t match well. May be I was late to catch that train.  Missing my loved ones, trying to overcome my diffident attitude, identifying opportunity in every trouble I was defying gravity and was trying to pick it up rather than drop.

 That reminds me of chris saying “Never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. If you wanna get something go and get it “

 The year only made my list of people to be envied a little longer. Distancing with old teams, forming new ones, special feelings towards some loved ones and doing things which may sound crazy to a passerby but are my moments to cherish.

 Several first time experiences and many lessons learnt with a flavor of success along with some fallbacks makes 2008 special to me.

 Tght of sharing some of my musings but no intention to complain about life….bcoz Life is Beautiful
