The day was very busy like any other days of this huge city. The street was full of noise and full of crowd. People were running with their bulky bags. Here life becomes a meaningless drudgery & happiness is very rare.
Suddenly a little child started to cry on the pavement. People with their busy minds ignored that incident. Some people also used their 'so called educated' terms to insult that little boy. Nobody had time to listen the reason of that innocent tears.
The sun shun brightly but there was a deep gloom on that little face. A water seller stopped by him & suddenly the boy started to smile. A happy smile came out like a rainbow. His mother bought a bottle of cold water for her child & that child hugged his mother tightly. It seemed like that the God had showered all the happiness over him. He drank that cold water and thanked his mother by kissing her. For that moment I felt that the boy was the happiest child of the world.
Happiness is not about expensive gifts. It's not about our status. It's not about our life style. If you want to be happy then you can be happy just like that little child. His mother's little effort made him happy. Probably he is living at the pavement, but he is the king in his mother's eyes.
I am fortunate enough that I have seen that slice of happiness with my own eyes. God, please bless them.
