[Assam] Happyness and Pleasure

[umesh sharma]

Happiness has to be pursued but is never attained for all times --thats what the author wrote. He was just a high school graduate (who loved to read) who became homeless with a young son in  tow while interning at a top stockmarket firm --becoming the first black employee there. His colleagues included Stanford and Harvard MBAs.

  Though the company prefered PSDs -- Poor, Smart and highly Driven guys --. He never saw his father till age 28 and his mother was in jail for most of his earlyy life.

  Hi,
      
     Just my luck that I am here 10 minutes before the library closes for winter break. 
     Have two books here in my bag - one on happyness and the other on pleasure. Both gifted to me -- the one on Happyness "The pursuit of Happyness" gifted by mail thru Amazon.com this Monday by the Pouya Iranian refugee meddical student husband from Vancouver, Canada -and I finsihed the book today morning at 5am --and had watched a movie by the same name (Will Smith ) last night. http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thepursuitofhappyness/
     http://www.amazon.com/Pursuit-Happyness-Chris-Gardner/dp/0060744863
      
     The Pleasure book is about another young man - born in similar circumstances about 5,000 years ago - Krishna -the reservoir of pleasure. I got it for 
free while attending the chariot festival in Los Angeles this july.

     Surprisingly the author shows that even in corrupt society we should not stop doing our work --just not partake in its rewards.
      
      
     It made me happy to have both the books.
      
     Anyone cares for any of them
