Castle of Happiness(Chapter-I)
In this massive spherical mass of matter, which we call🌍 Earth' lies a small two dimensional place- hardly a 100x50m space with 100 odd people living in it. Let's call it a village, name it 'Haripur', situated on the banks of Gangotri and valley of mighty Himalayas. Blessed by the grace of nature and beauty in abundance, so as the place so as the people of Haripur. Believing in work, religious ideology, values imbibed from Vedas, truth and humanity- very unlike what we see today.
There lived a small boy named 'Madhav', son of a Hindu Priest in the village. What the village was 100yrs ago, is what it is today, only the faces of generations have changed but their values, their work remained the same- responsibility handed over from generation to generation. But this boy Madhav was different, he believed in change- there's no doubt he is creative(you must have guessed it by now) and keeps exercising his brain in finding logic and reasoning behind the dynamics that prevails in the village. The boy was often told by his father that this world is a gift of God and we all should worship him from our heart and be thankful to him for the blessings he has bestowed on us so far.
There's no wrong in having belief in religious ideologies- right? Madhav also thinks this way, but he belives there's nothing wrong in believing other things than religious beliefs as well. As I have mentioned earlier that the village was on the foothills of massive Himalayas, there was a beautiful but an insurmountable mountain which Haripur people call as 'Jhunkar' in local parlance. Jhunkar was the mother ridge of all the other ridges which were emanating from that peak(certainly the highest peak in that area).
On the top of Jhunkar was a beautiful Castle, erected with pride and honor, silvery white were its walls, beneath it is a crystal clear water falling into an unfathomable depth, creating a muffled sound, an absolute delight to ears. Most of the times it was covered in milky and smoky clouds, which from Haripur looks spectacular. After rains when the clouds disappear and when warm gentle emerald sunrays pierce through the blue sky causing reflection,refraction and dispersion of light through the invisible droplets of rain & forming a rainbow 🌈 that castle looks Heaven- a sight to behold.
