Sumit: why do you say its unreachable?
Sharmili: coz it is
Sumit: i totally disagree
Sharmili: ok
Sumit: its all in the mind
Sharmili: u r entitled to ur view
Sumit: you can be as happy as you want to be
Sharmili: hmmm… u DO agree no one wud want to be sad
Sumit: yeah
Sharmili: so then when u want to be happy and u arent
Sumit: you WANT to be happy
Sharmili: due to external factors say
Sumit: but you are not ready to work towards it… as in you is not you
Sumit: there are always external factors to make us sad but knowing how to content oneself with small hapinesses is what most ppl are incapable of…. look at you and me
ppl die to be where we are, ppl die to be us….
Sharmili: no they dont
Sharmili: trust me..
Sumit: i know a lot of ppl wud die to go to iimb…. 1.5 lac ppl take the cat every year…. 10 times that number dream of going to the best engineering insitutes in the country
Sharmili: dude its high time we stop patting our backs for one stupid break which got us here
Sumit: im not at all pattting our backs…. not at all…. im telling you to appreciate that stupid break…. when we get stupid bad lucks we get sad then why dont you get happy with stupid breaks?
Sharmili: its been done with and gotten over with...
Sumit: yep! i knw all that
Sharmili: its like saying when u were 2, u rocked
Sumit: ive lived 3 yrs of life after iimb and i hardly call myself as an iim person anymore…. but thats not my point…. my point is not patting my back and resting on laurels…. my point is that you are being unfair…. you look at external factors and get sad but you dont look at the good factors and get happy and what you are is the same as what everyone else is
Sharmili: wht if there R NO current good factors
Sumit: cmon…. are you dying of hunger? did you have a rotten childhood? have you been lucky in love ever?
Sharmili: sumit, i am eternally glad i have had this life
Sumit: then learn to appreciate it and learn to be happy
Sharmili: thats not the point
Sumit: it IS the point
Sharmili: stop getting philosophical
Sumit: you are better off than 60% of the world population
Sumit: this was a philospohical question i thought… sorry if i misunderstood
Sharmili: its all relative… ur universe is 60% les happy than me…. mine is 40% above me
Sumit: and being better off as compared to 70% or more than the world’s population is reason enough to not crib
Sharmili: u get happy by looking at ppl less fortunate… i get sad by lookin at 40% above me coz i feel that i am a good person and I dont deserve this
Sumit: no i don’t…. you dont get it do you? by looking at them I don’t get happy abt me…. i realize how lucky i have been… this is a response to the external factors that you talk about when you consider external factors then you should consider them fully…. consider all external factors - your family, your socioeconomic background etc.
Sumit: on any level matierialistic or unmaterialistic i find it unfair that someone like you shud be unhappy and i find that you dont appreciate what you have got
Sharmili: u r HUMAN… u cant be bubbly all the time… u cant be all chirpy all time… its forced and u would still want to do it for SOMEONE
Sumit: no you can be! it might be forced for you...but dont generalize...i know ppl who are not that way…. i live for myself and im v v happy
Sharmili: well good for u… i live for myself too and i DO GET bouts of sadness – external, self inflicted, concocted – I dunno
Sumit: i do have times when im down but i wudnt say im unhappy then and i wouldn’t say happiness is unreachable… im able to get out of them easily…. Being low is a state of mind- happiness is an attainment….
Sharmili: wht makes u think WHT U AS A PERSON do others will
Sumit: no im not saying that…. you passed a statement that happiness is unreachable…. i thought you were doing exactly the above… generalizing for the world what you feel and i disagreed so i pinged you
Sharmili: i dont get whr ill see this getting attained… yes i have happy times…. yes i have awesome ppl arnd me…. yes hajar ppl caare abt me… but rite now i think its unattainable...
Sumit: are you happy overall? forget the current low state…. i honestly think irrespective of whatever your current state is you shud have attained happiness
Sharmili: its not everlasting dude…. i havent said i never attained..
Sumit: it is not acceptable- knowing what all you have got that you are unhappy…. but i know your past and what you have possessed all along
Sharmili: past is passed... its a feel good factor for those who want to dwarf their current under achievements with past achievements

I feel a bout of dissapointment or an encounter with sadness is a necessary grounding factor to keep our head unbloated.
Agar aaj tumhein lagta hai ki you've not achieved a few things - koi baat nahi. Forget other people - even those who would so called "die to be in your place".
Just try thinking what you CAN achieve with what you have rather than thinking about what you have not yet achieved. I guess its like looking at the same coin, but two different sides of it.
What happiness you COULD get from your amazing family, what success you COULD achieve with your education, what satisfaction you CAN derive from your love life ....
so let there be bouts of sadness, but then you have the TOOLS to obtain higher levels of happiness ... and that is all that's needed...
