It was late, probably midnight, but I didn't seem to get any sleep. It was drizzling outside and the beautiful moonlight lit the street giving it a glorifying touch, like what Leonardo gave to Mona Lisa. Sleep was something, that wasn't coming naturally, at least that night. The soft felling shower made the scene even more irresistible, let alone the thought of sleeping and forgetting it. I wasn't going to sleep last night, the sound of rain hitting the ground, the silver moonlight and the beautiful weather, all made me sit up all night. I went out, opened the door and entered my balcony. The street light looked different today. It was spectacular indeed. All quite, so serene I could hear myself breathing. The night was indeed a memorable one, one that I will always look out for. I enjoyed and absorbed the gist of it. Rejuvenated, I prepared to go back to sleep, with the silver moonlight shining on me, and rain singing soft shower-lullaby to me....

Euphoria amid contentment
Writing in the midst of perplexity, am still thinking that I might be divested of the happiness that resided in me some time ago, beside the fact that now I have found people who are very much amiable and it has been going pretty well with them. Well am still wondering whether it is really the happiness that is missing or that after getting much of what I wanted, all at the same time, the curiosity for the near future has ceased, bringing that tinge of unhappiness. I am expecting though, next time when I write, I write amid Euphoria, but that would possibly happen only when I'll be able to take the thoughts out of my mind that neither am I chained nor have I been handed a Pandora's box. Well this sure sounds like paradox, but a little contentment can rage in you all the happiness that you wan. With thoughts flowing flagrantly through me, am bewildered and seemingly helpless in which one to give heed. Well the question I have been asking myself is that " can Euphoria be found without contentment?" and well with all I have got and all I know, I think the answer is a straight NO. I might be citing the story of those thousands, who have got almost everything in prodigious amount, still there is happiness that they lack. Contentment being the root cause of it. Indian philosophers have said it throughout, so have such thoughts hailed from Bible and Kuran, but it's like the Kohinoor, difficult to possess but pleasant to see. I'll continue the work i decided, whether I'll be feeling that "Euphoria" or not, but consoling my heart, I'll try to reach that level of contentment so that my happiness seeking mind may rest in peace amid happiness. A small suggestion from my side. even if you think that what you have is not enough, even if you think that your contentment meter is hitting an all time low, just look at the brighter side of it. Wouldn't being contented in the most needy situation make you even more contended? " I have got enough" can't this one statement soothe our raging mind? Halt, slow down a bit, add contentment as a new fuel to your life and feel how you fly without wings, and the journey ahead will only make you more amiable with whatever situation you are popped in. Leave those strands of perplexity and wear the coat of slumber. But, wait you! do not sleep in complacency as you still need to flap your wings when you are in mid air. Hope we have a happy a.k.a. Contended day.
