What is Happy Life defined as?

Well i will answer this by my experience which i had

I have a strange habit that when ever i see the old person somewhat in his 60s-70s i try to talk to them .i talk about all the experience they had in their entire life good or bad .and i try to find that whether this world is cruel or good..i will share one of my experience (in short)with an old man who was working in an hotel .. actually me and my friend had gone their to have our breakfast .

Me-kaka do chay aur do poha plz(couple of tea and poha)

Him- (with a good smile) sure beta (in hindi)

Me-(i was very keen to talk to him)

He brings the breakfast .

Me -kaka if u dont mind can i take your 2mins i just want to talk to u.

Him-just 10 min beta ill finish my work than ill come to u

(I nodded with a smile…..after 15 min he came and set next to my chair)

Him- so tell me beta what do u want to say

Me- kaka how old are u ..?

Him-61

Me- u r 61 .u should be at your home with your children or grand children if u have any

(Suddenly his energetic and smily face turned into sad one )

Him- i use to live in mumbai beta ,i have 2 sons both of them are married and well educated..my wife died 2 years ago

Me-then y r u working here in this hotel as a servent

(After this question his eyes were full of tear)

Him-when my wife died i felt like my support was gone.i use to live with my both son. As they married they felt that i was comming between there married life..they fights everyday over my topic. i wont tell u further..other wise i ll cry .

Me-its ok kaka …take care of yourself.

Him- by this fights between them, i thought that they dont like my company. So we have another home here (pune) i came here with out informing them.. they called me to come home but i denied to go there .and i explained all the matter that was going into my head…and i also said that i will work here and there is no need to send me money..ill work here and earn.they do not forced me further to come home.

They just said me that if u feels to come here u can come

Me - so what makes u happy here.

Him- there happiness by not being with me..if they are happy without me than i am happy to.

(I was amazed..and numb)

NOTE - gyus your parents are the real treasure.u exists in this world because of them only…plz dont hurt your parents ..
