Every person longs for happiness in this world. How do we quantify this complex phenomenon? Who is happier than whom? Science tells us that certain hormones are known to help promote positive feelings in our systems. The most important function of hormones is to help in regulating our moods of happiness and pleasure or otherwise. Is wealth the ultimate requisite for happiness? Does only big cars’, sprawling bungalows, riches and fat bank balances make us happy? I guess not because several surveys have shown that wealth in any forms does not generate true happiness. Harvard University conducted a survey which showed, a person maintaining cordial relationship with family and friends, having friendly rapport with all those around you, was the happiest person, enjoying maximum happiness. The happiness hormone, namely, “SEROTONIN” plays a vital role in this process. Let us strive to lead a happy life and in the process ensure happiness to all around us, not through our riches but by maintaining cordial and co-operative attitudes towards our fellow beings. Our friendly gestures make a world of good to the people around who will always cherish having such people by their sides.

We have already stepped into the season of advent, preparing for the coming of our Lord Jesus, who comes with the same message of LOVE to our mankind. He was, He is and He will always be our Heavenly King, but He chose the little manger for His birth, spreading the message of humility and love. What better time to imitate Jesus than the season of joy – CHRISTMAS. However wealthy and powerful we may be, the real happiness will be ours only through friendly and cordial relationships with every human being. Make others happy and guarantee yourself a positive change in your life. Let us be the change. Christmas time creates a flurry of activity and emotions. May you get a chance to take in the beauty and true meaning of the coming Season and have a real worthy Christmas, bringing you closer to all those that you treasure in your heart. Wishing you and your family, health, happiness, peace & prosperity this Christmas.

Until we meet again in the coming New Year 2022!!
