How Should I Feel Happy For?

How Should I Feel Happy For? 

A man was riding his old kick start scooter.

Returning back from his boring job.

He was lost in the thoughts of sadness.

He had achieved nothing big in life.

Had done nothing special for his parents, wife and kids.

Suddenly the empty road transformed into a massive traffic jam.

He became even more stressed.

In a few minutes as he moved a little ahead, he saw the reason for jam.

A dead body of a young man almost similar to his age was lying in a pool of blood, eyes were open staring in the sky.

Clothes were torn, bike was lying broken on one side of road, so was a broken tiffin with food spread on road.

An ambulance shouting the agony of that man was standing in one corner.

The ward boys were picking his body to carry towards his last journey.

He must have left his home wearing tidy clothes on his bike, his mother or wife would have cooked food for him with so much love, why didn't he eat it? They would be waiting eagerly for him to return and talk to them, smile at them, sit with them, support them, love them.

They would have no idea that a man went away but a body will return back.

They would keep craving to catch a glimpse of him alive their entire life.

Thinking all this, he got lost somewhere in that dead man's life.

Soon he started sweating and had tears in his eyes.

He went back home, hugged his wife and children and cried hard for the next few minutes.

From that day he never looked for special reasons to be happy and to live his life.

Don't criticise your life. It can be much more tough than it is today.

“Feel happy because you can still feel this amazing feeling!”

The Ghost Footballer

The Ghost Footballer   written by Priyanka Banerjee, West Bengal (India)     When Rajiyappa died he was ‘only’ ninety-five. His wife was remorseful and she said that it was too early to go. Rajiyappa loved to play football from his childhood; but unfortunately he was not a good player and no one wanted to take him in the team. He wanted to be a footballer of “Gajendra”, which was the name of the village as well as the local football team and also wanted to win many trophies. His dream remained intangible. Consequently Rajiyappa stopped going to the football ground. He used to climb a tree which was far from the football ground and from there he watched football matches.  Days passed. Rajiyappa grew up and he tried to get chance in the college football team; but again he failed. Rajiyappa lost all his hope. After a few years Rajiyappa got married. Days passed. Rajiyappa never missed a single football match of his locality. His love for football remained unimpaired....

Fairy-deary

Fairy-deary Written by Priyanka Banerjee, West Bengal (India)    Once upon a time there lived seven fairies. They used to serve the Wasp-King who was very cruel. The King was very strong and seven times bigger than the fairies and whenever the fairies made any mistake, they were stung by the evil Wasp-King. They travelled throughout the kingdom and reported everything to the King. They were afraid of the King and remained sad as the King made each of them wear a thin  headband by which all of them were under the spell of the King and was bound to do whatever the King asked them to do.  One day the King ordered his fairies to find a land where everything was made of gold- the trees, the fruits, the houses, the grasses everything. The fairies started to find that unknown Land of Gold. They were quite sure that they could not execute this impossible task and the Wasp King would punish them. When the sun was touching the horizon, the fairies sat on a cloud. They were ...
