Money could buy you the happiness, but should you ask the richest person would he agree? Love is a synonym, but rarely is he happy whose heart is filled with love & compassion for every living being. Peace and happiness never shake hands for peace brings the stagnancy and reduces happiness to unexciting boredom. And none should be spoken of respect for it limits the love and bound the expressions creating inequalities. Intelligence would teach you how things should be, making you most unhappy for the state of society around you.

Then should you ask the extremes? A King or a beggar, a beauty queen or an ugly duckling, a famous or an unknown, a genius or a numbskull? Happiness is ever changing state of mind not having much to do with the quantities of materialistic qualities.

It's different things for different people at different times. Its complex. It lies somewhere in the middle of extremes for everything. The happiness.

But the mind is deceiving, it would like you to believe your happiness is no different than others so you must achieve what others are trying hard to achieve. Once you are convinced, you would always be unhappy by comparison.

Happiness is knowing oneself and knowing what makes one happy and doing it without disturbing happiness of others. Happiness is knowing one day one will die and making every day count. Happiness is living every day to its fullest. Happiness is striving hard only to an extent required. Happiness is finding oneself, being oneself and living oneself while caring about others but not proving others you are happy.

It is inside you. Somewhere in the middle lies the happiness!

In the smell of freshly bathed baby and in the smile of a mother when her breastfed baby burps

In mother’s struggling reasons for child's endless questions on ‘How the stars came to be in the sky.’

In the reason at which you laugh now but they made you fall head over hill in love in your childhood with that freckled cherubic face showcasing braced smile

In the dopamine in your head that blurred your vision when you experience the first kiss

In the unknown reasons that make you fall in love over and over again

In the thirst and in the hunger, in the brightness of sunflowers and in the smell of roses

In mother’s tasteful pickles and in the delicious machine made ice-creams

In mother’s efforts to clean dirty school uniforms and make them shine in the morning

In the smell of thirst quenched earth by the first showers of the season

In those rolling tears of father when his heart aches to give her daughter in marriage

In the soul stirring music and in the adrenalin rush from favorite sport

In the lust and in the heavy breathing and in the trance followed by frenzied exultation of orgasm

In the nod of old wife seating by dying husband holding his hands and making death sound so easier

In the joy of the horse that a toddler rides by holding father's hair

In the genuine prayers and in the unfeigned carnal desires

In all unanswered questions and in the big bang that created this universe

In the selfish and selfless love, in the love and in the dance of love, in the beloved and the loved ones, in a will to live, love and be loved, in thousand moments of the day, you may want to look for God!
