Happiness!

How do you know that you are happy?

Through your senses?

There are five basic human senses : touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste.
New clothes,
Sunset,
A melodious song,
A perfume,
Gulabjamun.…..
…. makes us smile, makes us happy!

What if, we get across a negative experience?
A thorn, violent incidence, shouting, foul smell, bitter medicine.
Is it still possible to remain happy?

After all, our happiness is through our senses, right?

In day to day life, we see sad faces more than happy faces. As humans, we keep on facing
challenges in life. It’s easy to sulk rather than be happy.

Sachin Londe, a PMC employee, working in Garbage collection department.

 He has to rise
early, travel on a Garbage truck, collect garbage from the assigned spots and after 7-8 hours of
work, return back home.
What does Sachin experience?
Sitting on a Garbage pile,
Looking at the leftovers of humans,
The old truck cranking or the crows hovering over the garbage,
The unbearable stink,
Putting tobacco in his mouth to somehow bear all this!
Yet, daily, as the truck arrives to collect the waste, I see the ever smiling face of Sachin. From
the moment the truck arrives, till it leaves, the enthusiasm, energy of Sachin and his colleagues
is contagious. The smile never misses their faces!

Can there be a better motivation?
He lives in the moment! Not thinking about his past or his future. He is happy that he is living!

So simple!
Yet so deep!
