HAPPIEST DAY........

So I went to this party of one of my colleagues from my office. It was his birthday party actually.  The cake was there and so were the usual frills associated with the birthday celebrations. I was enjoying the celebrations until one of my friends asked him a very mundane and common question `So, tell us about the  happiest day of your life`. 

The answer given by him was lost to me because I wasn’t listening. The regular question thrown in by a regular guy in a regular party let me to think……what was my happiest day in life? Was it the fact that I was a very good student in my academic life and I topped the honour list in school and college…..no that was not the happiest day in my life. It was quite an achievement but not the happiest day. Was it the fact that I was offered placement by three renowned  companies at once? No ……that wasn’t either. It was a huge relief and a pleasant surprise but not the happiest moment . My first car?..... nope……..the glee that I felt when I laid my eyes on the beautiful epitome of love TAJ MAHAL? Nooo that wasn’t either…my promotions? Those gourmet meals? The exotic spas? The tours with family? My first kiss? No no no no and no again!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the time when I realized that `my happiest day in life` phase wasn’t there  yet…it is yet to arrive ,yet to happen yet to be felt and remembered for the rest of my life and quoted with glee and emotions in parties when someone asks …`so tell us about  the happiest day in your life?`

So here I am hoping hopelessly that the happiest day in my life will arrive sooner than I thought and it will just not happen but will stay on and on and on ………forever……
