Finding Happiness for Raghu

My story is about finding happiness in small things or doing small things in your life. Enjoy reading

Raghu a smart handsome guy who works in a MNC as a Manager with a BMW & a bunglow in a posh area of Mumbai and yes he also have a very beautiful wife & blessed with two lovely daughters. (He had everything one can be jealous of ;) )

Life was wonderful for raghu, he was a good leader and he and his team were star performers every year, he was very sure of his increment and promotion this year. But remember "Life is uncertain".

 

The business with huge revenue stopped all of a sudden, targets were not completed and Raghu and his team were no more performers, instead Raghu was always called for meeting by his bosses to discuss the issue. It was obvious that Raghu was under tremendous work stress and this stress started reflecting on his face and to some extent on his health & family life.His loving wife tried to talk to him about this but raghu was in no mood to discuss his problems, his wife understaning the situation did not stress much.

One Sunday morning raghu woke up early instead he did not sleep at all, His wife as per routine got ready for morning walk and asked raghu to join her, raghu refused but this time his wife insisted him and with half mind he agreed, they both went to the nearby park. While walking his wife held his hand, raghu looked at her, his wife did not speak anything, but her eyes, It conveyed the message to raghu " sab theek ho jayega"
(" Everything will be ok")

 

Raghu thought and told himself "Why to spoil the sunday thinking of whats gona happen on monday"

His wife went ahead for her jog and raghu just started walking in the park , he slowly started observing the tiny flowers here and there, the crepers, the people doing laughter therapy, the birds chirping and he enjoyed the cool fresh morning breeze, he kept walking more and more until he saw a bench and sat with a slight change in his mood, he smiled, & group of senior citizens passed by the bench and they were talking when one old lady was saying that "Happiness can be found in small gestures, Iam so happy today my son surprised me by preparing coffee for me this morning, he never gets up early especially on sunday. no money can bring this happiness. Raghu turned back and looked at the old lady, she was actually as happy as a young mother who says that he baby spoke for the first time
"Amma" (Mumma)

 

This incidence had a great impact on raghu, his wife came back from her jog and they went home, after breakfast raghu played a lot with his daughters and took them to the garden and played some more till they went to bed, he was happy he spent time with his daughters after long time, his wife was happy seeing him happy.

And the next day "monday" rather "MONDAY BLUES", as soon as he entered his cabin he got a call from his boss to come to the Head office for a meeting, he reached HO and talking to himself " what would be the meeting for? and in the meeting he was given the ultimatum that if the branch does not show any improvement Raghu would be fired.

Considering the performance of the branch raghu was prepared but still he dint expect this to happen so early, Raghu and his team were working hard from the day the biz was low to retain the old clients but without any positive response,his team members started resinging one by one.
Raghu was again stressed but he closed his eyes and said to himself which his wife said "Everything will be ok" . Days and weeks passed with no change in performance, in short raghu's job was in danger.

One day he got a call from his school friend offering a job in his company but on a lower pay package, His friend told him to think about it and hung up. He went home and had a discussion with his wife , his wife just told him that all she needs his happiness and his job satisfaction. (such a understanding wife :-) )

Raghu decided to go ahead with the offer from his friend. Life changed slowly, his perspective towards life changed, even though his salary was comparatively low he started enjoying his work and started spending time with his family which he was missing all these years. He started going to gym and never missed going to the park every sunday. He discovered that he also has intrest in gardening, He also started visiting orphanage to teach the kids there to play guitar. Yes Raghu is a wonderful guitarist, which he forgot being busy in corporate world but happy that he found again.

 

So friends find happiness in doing small things, go for a walk with loved ones, go for a drive, eat icecream have fun, laugh till your tummy hurts, live as if theres no tommorrow, be selfish when it comes to your health, coz when you are healthy you are happy too and only happy people can give happiness to others.

Plan for future but dont forget to live every moment of today.

 

I know "Dil mange more" par dosto dil hi nai rahega tho mangoge kya. :)
Stress, tension depression ki aisi ki taisi. Apna Khayal rakhna

 

Translation from Hindi to English " Our heart may desire for more and more but if we are not happy from inside then what is the use of this desire. be happy from inside and kick off stress,depression. take care of yourself  :)

Sometimes we are so busy working and earning money we forget that the purpose of life is not working and earning money. Or there is no life to enjoy.
