For happiness is found in nitty gritty of daily life! :)

I put on the twinkling and shimmering jewels
Wore a pretty gown and left for the party in the town
Surrounded by people from all around
I felt happy and gay by seeing the crowd
Smiling and exuberant faces were there to see
But still the warmth which a single hug from my mother could give me, I couldn't feel
I retreated them back with the same smile
The celebrations went on till late at night
The "stretched lips" condition I tried to maintain
By consoling myself that now I was out of mundane
But the heart follow its own course
It didn't feel the way I suppose

Next I went to a big mall
Bought myself as many things which pleased me the way all along
The "happy hormone" did induce a pang of happiness in me but its effect was shortlived and I was again trapped in the cobweb of miseries!

The heart was low, the eyes were heavy
I followed every tactic to make it happy
But in vain...

As I was walking I encountered a young deserted boy
Covered in rags and no food to have he approached towards me with hopefulness
I did some charity by giving him the packed food I had
His eyes lit up and with a peck on my cheek he left
A smile conquered my face and its effect penetrated deep inside me
I wept ,I cried ,I regret
'Cause I was looking for happiness by adopting worldly ways,
I forgot the heart has its own course to remain happy and gay!
