A b'day gift for my cousin!

Today, July 31st is one of my cousins' birthday. Talking about my cousins, i have 28 first cousins from my father's side and 24 first cousins from my mother's side, pretty huge family you know! but i bet this is a normal thing in many of the Christian families in and around the Central Travancore. I don't have any siblings still i never had a boring childhood because of this battalion.
Okay now coming back to my cousin's birthday today. Do you know what she asked me for a b'day gift? Really interesting!! She wanted me to write something in my "not so regular" blog. That was actually a pat on my back to wake me up from my laziness. I felt ashamed for being irresponsible to my sincere readers. What to do yaar? I always needed a push from nowhere to get started with something. Lazygoose!!....
So here i'm gonna start a new label "thoughts" and i am dedicating it for the b'day baby. Howsaat? 'Thoughts' can be any kind of thoughts, crazy, silly thoughts, advices, dreams, philosophies, anything that has once ran through my mind would be worth sharing. Whatsay?
So what can be the topic for the day? Let me talk about 'happiness'. Happiness, its hard to define i know. According to me happiness is like a moon. The moon is always there in the sky but we are not able to see it during the day when the sun is so bright. The same way happiness too gets hidden or unnoticed when we give space for tensions, worries, sadness or sorrows in our mind. Its just a matter of fact that you should open your eyes and recognize the same happiness you have with you.

Some people say that their life is full of tragedies. Is that so? I don't think so. Yeah, ofcourse we all have challenges in our life but again its all about how you take it. Unless you don't have sorrows how will you know what happiness is? For every hill there would be a valley. If there is no valley, then its no more a hill. So for every cold scary night there would be a bright sunny day tomorrow. This is not a text book theory i talk about. It's something that i always felt and experienced in my life. You will think that i'm crazy if i say that i'm so excited when i have troubles in my life, but its true because i know that when i reach on top of it i can feel the cool breeze over there, touch the clouds and have a smooth ride down the hill. It's like a 'treasure hunt'. You have to face a lot of challenges till you find out what has God kept for you in the treasure box. Also i believe that by the end of the day if you can weigh your emotions, everybody will have the same amount and equal share of it. Nobody is different from anybody, so stop worrying. Just trust your Lord and ride along, enjoying the sceneries around you.
