“Anglo-Indians formed a significant portion of the minority community in India before independence, but today more live outside India than within it. The Anglo-Indian population in India dwindled from roughly 500,000 in 1947 to fewer than 150,000 by 2010. Many emigrated to the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States.^{[13].” .   from  Wikipedia..}

EIGHT CLUES TO HAPPINESS

Having lived a reasonably contented life, I was musing over what a person should strive for to achieve happiness. I drew up a list of a few essentials which I put forward for the readers' appraisal.

1. First and foremost is GOOD HEALTH. If you do not enjoy good health you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct from your happiness.

2. Second, A HEALTHY BANK BALANCE. It need not run into crores but should be enough to provide for creature comforts and something to spare for recreation, like eating out, going to the pictures, traveling or going on holidays on the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be only demoralizing.Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in one's own eyes.

3. Third, A HOME OF YOUR OWN. Rented premises can never give you the snug feeling of a nest which is yours for keeps that a home provides: if it has a garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, cultivate a sense of kinship with them.

4. Fourth, AN UNDERSTANDING COMPANION, be it your spouse or a friend. If there are too many misunderstandings, they will rob you of your peace of mind. It is better to be divorced than to bicker all the time.

5. Fifth, LACK OF ENVY towards those who have done better than you in life; risen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be very corroding; avoid comparing yourself with others.

6. Sixth, DO NOT ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE to descend on you for gup-shup. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.

7. Seventh, CULTIVATE SOME HOBBIES which can bring you a sense of fulfilment, such as gardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. Going to clubs or parties to get free drinks or to meet celebrities is criminal waste of time.

8. Eighth, every morning and evening, devote 15 minutes to INTROSPECTION. In the morning, 10 minutes should be spent on stilling the mind and then five in listing things you have to do that day. In the evening, five minutes to still the mind again, and ten to go over what you had undertaken to do.
RICHNESS is not Earning More, Spending More Or Saving More, RICHNESS IS "YOU NEED NO MORE"

The Art of Giving

“Rivers do not drink their own water, nor do tree eat their own fruit,
nor do rain clouds eat the grains reared by them. The wealth of the
noble is used solely for the benefit of others?

Even after accepting that giving is good and that one must learn to
give, several questions need to be answered.

The first question is when should one give?

We all know the famous incident from Mahabharat.

Yudhisthir, asks a beggar seeking alms to come the next day. On this,
Bhim rejoices, that Yudhisthir his brother, has conquered death! For he
is sure that he will  be around tomorrow to give. Yudhisthir gets the
message.

One does not know really whether one will be there tomorrow to give!

The time to give therefore is now.

The next question is “how much to give?

One recalls the famous incident from history. Rana Pratap was reeling
after defeat from the Moghals. He had lost his army, he had lost his
wealth, and most important he had lost hope, his will to fight. At that
time in his darkest hour, his erstwhile minister Bhamasha came seeking
him and placed his entire fortune at the disposal of Rana Pratap. With
this, Rana Pratap raised an army and lived to fight another day.

The answer to this question how much to give is

“Give as much as you can!

The next question is what to give?

It is not only money that can be given. It could be a flower or even a
smile.

It is not how much one gives but how one gives that really matters.
When you give a smile to a stranger that may be the only good thing
received by him in days and weeks!

“You can give anything but you must give with your heart!

One also needs answer to this question whom to give?

Many times we avoid giving by finding fault with the person who is
seeking. However, being judgmental and rejecting a person on the
presumption that he may not be the most deserving is not justified.

“Give without being judgmental!

Next we have to answer “How to give?

Coming to the manner of giving, one has to ensure that the receiver
does not feel humiliated, nor the giver feels proud by giving.

In giving follow the Bible, “Let not your left hand know what your
right hand gives? Charity without publicity and fanfare is the highest form
of charity.

“Give quietly!

While giving let not the recipient feel small or humiliated. After all
what we give never really belonged to us. We come to this world with
nothing and will go with nothing. The thing gifted was only with us for a
temporary period. Why then take pride in giving away something which
really did not belong to us? Give with grace and with a feeling of
gratitude.

What should one feel after giving?

We all know the story of Eklavya. When Dronacharya asked him for his
right thumb as “Guru Dakshina?he unhesitatingly cut off the thumb and
gave it to Dronacharya.

There is a little known sequel to this story. Eklavya was asked whether
he ever regretted the act of giving away his thumb. He replied, and
the reply has to be believed to be true, as it was asked to him when he
was dying.

His reply was “Yes! I regretted this only once in my life. It was when
Pandavas were coming in to kill Dronacharya who was broken hearted on
the false news of death of his son Ashwathama and had stopped fighting.
It was then that I regretted the loss of my thumb. If the thumb was
there, no one could have dared hurt my Guru?

The message to us is clear.

Give and never regret giving!

And the last question is

“How much should we provide for our heirs?

Ask yourself “are we taking away from them the”gift of work? - A source
of happiness! The answer is given by Warren Buffett:

“Leave your kids enough to do anything, but not enough to do nothing!

I would conclude by saying: let us learn the Art of Giving, and quoting
Sant Kabir:

“When the wealth in the house increases, when water fills a boat,
Throw them out with both hands! ForWorld peace, joy and love

This is the wise thing to do!

Always be happy always wear asmile ..
not because life is full of reasons to smile but
ur smile itself is the reason for many others to smile
