The Happiest Day of My Life


Given as an exercise in class to speak on ‘The Happiest Day of My Life’, such a simple thing it seemed but it wasn’t so.

HAPPINESS, such a bright and vibrant word it is. The first thing I remember about being happy is me as a kid standing with my brightest smile and my mom handing me a chocolate and asking, “Are you happy now?” and me nodding yes :)

But what is being happy, smile and satisfaction u feel after sleeping two more hours on a winter morning, meeting an old friend and catching up with the same pace as if nothing has changed or watching someone smile. Happiness for me is a feeling, which when you feel want to keep feeling it.

Over the course of my life, I have experienced many days of happiness, each one giving me a unique experience. But happiness is something I consider intangible; it can just be felt and cannot be measured.

So when questioned that which day of my life was the happiest day of my life, I simply can’t answer.

Was it the joy of getting my first cycle at the age of 8 or the days of the results on which I was being praised for being a ranker, or the day when I first time prepared tea for my dad and he rewarded being best in world.

Or was it the elation of being an adult on my 18th birthday and moreover getting a license so that I could drive.

Or was it the days of fun and freedom of bunking classes, enjoying mumbai rains, chatting, laughing and just being together with friends.

May its the day my di gave birth to a angelic baby and became a proud mother after so many complications.

May be, a day before yesterday was the happiest day of my life when i chatted with my bhai till 1 at night, it was so relaxing, it felt really great of being thought and cared about.

These feelings of relaxation, satisfaction, expression, achievement, being praised, being loved, freedom is happiness for me.

So each passing day, brings happiness to me in different shades, the feelings and emotion which i want to feel again and again. I think it's just not one, instead i'm blessed with soo many happy days and many more yet to come.
