Why aren't People Happy?

I have noticed...people who have the most number of problems in life are the happiest looking people! Whatever problems they have they are happy. The ones who have everything at their disposal are always sulking or complaining about something or the other.



The other day, I met one aunty whose son was mentally handicapped, her brother was also mentally handicapped and her husband has a heart problem and one can never say anything about his health.

She manages the whole household and never complained once! She is always smiling and singing songs and making others smile.

There's another person (can't tell wo she is) who has everything one can ask for.....three loving sons each has his own house in some part of the country so she doesn't have the problem of accomodation. Her husband is retd. Chief Engineer and has lot of money coming in also through music classes she gives. Still she is always cribbing about getting blouse pieces instead of sarees and what not. No one likes to talk to her because of this. But since she is elderly, no one can say no.

I'd like to ask if any one knows why a human being is like this?......they don't appreciate the value of any thing.

Lucky Generation!

I was recently wondering about the latest events like :- 1.ARR winning the LA Critics' Choice Awards, Golden Globe Awards, BAFTAs.....becoming the first INDIAN to do so....He also won 3 Oscar nominations for Slumdog Millionaire!

2. Indian Prime Minister signing the Nuclear Deal with America.....The first deal of its kind.

3.The Indian Cricket Team winning the FIRST installment (or whatever you call it) of the World T20 Championship!

4.The historic election of Barack Obama.....the first African-American President of USA!

5.Internet was not available in my parents' generation now we an search for information on the net instead of spending hours in the library! (this is not a recent event of course!)

The above mentioned points were not witnessed by my parents or grandparents(in their youth I mean!)...I am very happy and glad to say that I have been the lucky generation to witness all this in my youth!
All this were my random thoughts when I am staring into space instead of studying!

I also would like to be the first generation to be able to witness the end of terrorism and spread of peace in this world instead of all this massacre every fortnight.

PEACE TO ALL

Jai Ho Song Confusion!

When I first heard Jai Ho from SDM I fell in love with that song.....I still listen to it in repeat mode! I am a HUGE fan of A R Rahman!
Recently heard in the news that the song was earlier for the movie Yuvraaj by Subhash Ghai and since it couldn't be used in the movie for some reasons it was used in the Slumdog Millionaire movie and has become a sensation across the "Globe"!
Now my confusion stars here...In another news interview ARR said the inspiration for the Jai Ho song was the movie (Slumdog Millionaire) itself.
Now can anyone please explain to me why did ARR say this inspite of the song being composed for the movie Yuvraaj?

I am not critcising ARR or anything but this is the small doubt and confusion in my mind that I will be glad if any one clears it for me...

Unethical Adverts

The other day, I was simply surfing through the channels when I saw the Horlicks ad saying it is a better health drink than Complan.... how can anyone be allowed to make ads against other companies?...I mean they should not be named!

For eg:-1. Horilcks is cheaper than Complan
2. Complan makes children dumb

Then another as was made this time by Complan! This ad said that there were poor quality nutrients in Horlicks and and talked openly against Horlicks! How can this be allowed(I am asking again!)

Not only these two companies but now Set Wet Zatak perfume for men has started!

Anyone remembers the Axe Perfume ad for men the guy keeps on spraying the perfume around his shoulders and the girls circle around him in the nightclub.... now Set Wet Zatak has ridiculed the Axe ad saying, "khali haat mat ghumao" by showing a shirtless skinny guy holding axes in his hand while girls go past him and go to the Set Wet guy.

I ask...how ethical is this? Why is there no healthy competition among companies?
