I like the rains. Rains make me happy.

I like the fog that comes along with it. I like it when everything looks as if its freshly washed. I like wearing rain-jackets that can't keep your trousers dry. I like to drive my scooter with the helmet-viser open so the rain drops can hit my face. I like driving my cycle fast into puddles of muddy water. I like sitting on the hill with a friend when its drizzling. I like the smell of wet mud.

Lots of things make people happy. Shopping for new clothes makes my friend happy. Another one likes to go try out new clothes cause its free. My maa loves the free offers on products. Daddy loves to go to car showrooms so he can see how the paint finish of the car is.

My sister likes wearing 10-12 necklaces and chains to college. She says she's putting the 'Hippy' look back in fashion. Putting on airs and acting oversmart makes my cousin happy(irritates everyone else though).

My best friend likes to comb her hair in the side mirror of her scooter. That makes her happy.

My cat likes to sit on top of the fridge.

All kinds of things make people happy.

The wierdest, is stuff that makes you sad now, so you can be happy later.

My aunt, for example. She loves to sleep. And she hates going without sleep for weeks altogether, because there's a big deal coming up and there's lots of work to finish. But she works so hard anyway. Cause she feels very happy when the deal is over. She says the sleep she gets after 3 or 4 weeks of hard work is worth hundreds of nights of sound sleep.

Another friend of mine hates studying his CA subjects. He doesn't like staying up at night solving accounts sums that won't replicate in the exam. But he studies anyway, because the thought of being Chartered Accountant makes him very happy.

People like to stay unhappy in the present, so they can be happy in the future.

People also say that the future is uncertain. Which is true. I agree. You never know what might happen tomorrow. And the stuff we're saving for tomorrow, may not make us happy tomorrow.
Maybe, we won't be there tomorrow. Or maybe, tomorrow won't be there at all!

(I mean the way we're running this place, if the melting snow caps don't drown us first, the depleteing ozone will surely cook us)

But we sacrifice todays hapiness anyway.
Then how come we don't sacrifice a drive to the corner store, or stop bathing in the shower (and use the water bucket instead), or switch of the fan when we leave a room?

We know we'll be killed tomorrow if we continue like this. But if a drive to the shop at the corner makes you happy now, what the heck, eh?

So what the heck? We won't show a child a rainbow cause there's too much work. And work can't wait.
Well...
Neither can the rainbow.
