Happiness, I hear, people say is a state of mind
Emptiness, mostly, is felt when one sets out to find
Emptiness, mostly, is felt when one sets out to find
To measure it with clicks, likes and shares is the current trend
To treasure it from hacks and stares, fortune they spend
To treasure it from hacks and stares, fortune they spend
Joy, peace and success they say give a happy feeling
Why stop pursuing it by creating a glass ceiling?
Why stop pursuing it by creating a glass ceiling?
Feelings, such, come when there is security & stability
To sustain though, one needs a personal value & capability
To sustain though, one needs a personal value & capability
Happiness, I hear, people say is a state of mind
Emptiness, mostly, is felt when one sets out to find
Emptiness, mostly, is felt when one sets out to find
Find, I did, my happiness through deep introspection
Sound, it resonates - Freedom to create with compassion

I wrote this on 17th May while waiting for my delayed flight at Gate 7 of Bengaluru airport. It was a long but fruitful day and for me a turning point. I was till then a self proclaimed Happiness Ambassador and introduced as such in a large panel discussion. Few people came to me at the end and said i was actually one!
This poem is dedicated to myself and the Uber taxi driver in Chennai who wished me and requested that i live that role for others too! Touching and powerful.
