Happiness

Small things make me happy.

Yes, really! Just like a pleasant smile from someone works wonders for me.

What makes me say this? Well, I’m really euphoric right now. Its been ages now that I wanted to hold that guitar properly and play stuff. Yes, stuff is what I’m mentioning here. As I just dont know how to play it.

I picked up the guitar, yes not for the picture this time. And I learnt a chord tonight. Yes, it sounded just O.K. though. But it sounded like a start to me. A beginning. Happiness. No looking back.

Yay, the D chord!!!

Yes, I’m surely loving it.

I’ve also been listening to a lot of John Mayer all these days. One of the many reasons which motivated me to pick up and play that sound. I’m in love with the cover of “Bold as Love” (actually a Jimi Hendrix track) that John Mayer performed live at LA for ‘Where the Light is’ . I love the part when John Mayer talks about ‘love’.

…

I tried every approach to living, I tried it all. I haven’t tried everything, but I’ve tried every approach. Sometimes you have to try everything to get the approach the same. But…

I tried it all. I bought a bunch of stuff, I went, no, I don’t like that. I kind of came in and out of that a couple of times.

Thought I would shut myself off. I thought maybe that’s cool, maybe that’s what you have to do to be a genius is you have to be mad. So if you can get mad before the word genius, then maybe you can make genius appear. Right? That doesn’t work either.

I’m in a good place. I’ve paced myself pretty well. I’m thirty, I’ve seen some cool stuff. Made a lot of stuff happen for myself. I made a lot of stuff happen for myself. That’s a really cool sentence when you’re in your twenties, “I made it happen for myself man.”

But all that means is that I’ve just somehow found a way to synthesize love, synthesize soothing… you can’t get that.

And what I’m saying is that I’ve messed with all the approaches except for one. And it’s going to sound really corny, but that’s just love. That’s just love. I’ve done everything in my life that I want to do except just give and feel love for my living.

And I don’t mean like a roman candle, firework, Hollywood, hot pink love. I mean like a “I got your back!” love.

I don’t need to hear I love you. You guys love me, I love you, we got that down.

Some of the people who will tell you they love are some of the people who will be the last just to have your back.

So I’m going to experiment with this love thing. Givin’ love, feelin’ love. I know it sounds really corny, but it’s the last thing I got to check out before I check out.

…

I’m loving it!

The Pursuit of HappYness…

Its been some time I’d seen this movie… but would always get back to it whenever I’m low or finding hard to catch up with the fast paced life.

The pursuit of happyness is an American biographical film about a salesman turned stocks broker person named Chris Gardner.

The film’s title is derived from the words of Thomas Jefferson in the United States Declaration of Independence; the misspelling of “happiness” refers to a mural decorating the exterior of the son’s day care center on which the word is spelled that way.

The role of Chris Gardner is very well played by none other than Will Smith, who happens to be one of those artists i truly admire!!! Also the movie features Jaden Smith, Will’s own blood as his son in  the movie (Christopher Gardner Jr.). Thandie Newton has very well played the role of his wife in the movie.

The movie is based in San Fransisco, California. Chris is shown as a loser at his sales job but who has great imagination and a ‘think big’ attitude towards life. The circumstances he’s pushing his life through are tremendous and makes him to shift… shift to a group of people who are “so damn happy” (and rich).

truly enlightening experience!!! A few scenes would surely touch your heart forever!!!
