The Happiness Quotient - My Favourite Piece Of Content.

A picture is worth a thousand words. When the above picture went viral, it received brickbats and bouquets. 
 At face value, the picture is nothing but heartwarming. The children are as happy can be.
 The real smartphone eludes them, but they make the best use of what they have and find happiness in whatever comes their way, even if it is a slipper. We, adults, spend our lives hankering for more...bigger, better, fancier...it goes on and on. 

Making the most of what you have is what happiness is really about.

So What Would My Diary Say To me?

My diary

From a corner in the closet

 All sad and teary, would say to me:

Where have you been?

We haven't met lately.

At twenty you wrote aplenty

I knew your secret crushes

And what brought on your blushes

I knew what made you happy

What made you sad

I knew when you were mad

Your dreams and aspirations

Your longings and frustrations

 Every night you poured your heart out to me. 

What's this I see you engrossed in? 

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram 

This virtual world

I simply don't understand

My head is spinning, my heart is breaking

Spare a thought for me

Tell me you still love me. 

Best Friends Forever

I loved you 

Ever since I was a child

My soulmate through the years

You've helped me through my fears. 

Knowledge I  receive

Much more than I can ever perceive

You take me to distant lands

To farms and brooks

And shimmering sands.

Dusty tome or brand new 

On train and plane

At home

Or when it rains

You are my companion 

Again and again.
