One day I said br Enough is enough br I will pursue happiness br I will excel... br I will let love dwell... br I will buy a new car.... br I will erase all scars... br That should be a good recipe br I have all the ingredients, you see br Anyways, I mixed them all together br To my dismay, it could not even blow a feather br The wind of happiness still eluded me br Locked somewhere, I didnt have the key br I looked in ' Lost and Found' br No luck, mystery continued to hound br And then I gave up br br One day as I went out br I heard some children shout br In the street community park br Playing noisily before it got dark br As I was walking by avoiding the mud br A football landed in front of me with a thud br I cursed and started to throw it back br Wanted to shout at the young brats br Suddenly I dont know what came over me br I held the ball and walked towards them purposefully br Pretending an angry stern face br Then bursting into a big smile as if crazed br Playfully dribbled the ball and looked at them br Amazed they gazed and broke into a grin br The game restarted with a new player br That was me, who had not played for years br We shrieked, we shouted, we splashed mud br We panted, we fought, someone also squirted some blood br It got dark and the kids had to run home br I also turned back feeling completely blown br Forgetting what I had set out for, I suddenly realized br That these had been one of the most happy moments of my life br Didnt have to pursue them, they came to me naturally br Just be like a child, happiness will touch you automaticallybr br Renu Rakheja a.k.
