Wrtiting the earlier blog got me thinking how happiness is self propogating..you see someone happy you do feel happy and perhaps that's the reason why reality shows or shows like the Wheel of Fortune are popular..people win money/prizes everyone applauds..even people in front of their televisions..everyone has a smile!!:)
And especialy if an Underdog wins..it's always a good feeling..although if Tiger Woods looses to anyone ( underdog or anyone) it's not a good feeling for me!!
Okay barring Tiger I enjoy it thoroughly when an underdog wins..

Happy Moments starting again
Now that Deepti is my regular reader and i have promised her to atleast "try" to write my blog daily, thought of starting with the Happy Moment of the Day Ritual.
Well for today the happy moment is not too tough..the news of my brother getting posted to Goa was a very happy moment..not only cause it's a beautiful place but also cause he and his wife wanted to be there!
It feels rather nice to hear good news no matter for whomever it is!!!

railway crossing in India and USA
Driving back home today had to stop at the Railway crossing..that brought back memories of childhood of railway crossings... The long wait for the train to pass by. And then the numerous hawkers selling everything from cut cucumber to cold drinks and even some trinkets and books..
Nostalgia.....and age!!!

Optimism
What is optimism?
A state characterized by a positive outlook; the expectation of a good outcome.
A tendency to expect the best, or at least, a favourable outcome; the doctrine that this world is the best of all possible worlds; the belief that good will eventually triumph over evil or the bad times will be overcome by good times!! :)
A refined mental style of how one chooses to respond to life.
Webster's Dictionary defines optimism as "an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events, or to anticipate the best possible outcome."
Journalist, essayist and critic, Lise Funderburg argues that optimism isn't the refuge of bubbleheads; it's a scientifically proven way to get happier, healthier and even catnippier to the opposite sex.
Recent research suggests an optimistic state comes from a series of active inner processes, psychological somersaults. That's good news because it means that optimism—like other skills such as putting on eyeliner or hitting a tennis ball or driving a car!!—is something we can improve with practice.
So carry on...
