HAPPINESS IN LIFE'S SIMPLICITY..

Happiness is perhaps the most desired feeling. People do a great extent of things so as to achieve happiness. Some people work very hard and accumulate a lot of riches in search for happiness. These people associate happiness with riches. They consider happiness to be a destination. When they accumulate riches and still don't feel happy, they spend those riches on materialistic possessions in hope to find that long desired happiness. But most often than not they get disappointed.

Happiness is a very powerful feeling, this is true. But what else is true is the fact that happiness is a choice. Every situation of life offers us two choices. One is to get the negative side and react accordingly. The other is to look for the positive side and choose to be happy. The second trait is rare. People react easily and showcase natural feelings like anger, sorrow etc but rarely choose to be happy. This is probably because of the misconception they have about happiness being a destination.

Some people live a more fulfilling and happy life than others. This is because these people choose to be happy. But the most important thing about them is that they do not associate happiness with some costly materialistic possession rather they know the secret of finding content in the small things that life offers. Simple things like birds chirping, sight of the rising sun, feeling of the wind blowing on the face, smile of a baby etc are abundant and can fill the soul with happiness only if one chooses to recognise them.

Life is a journey. Its short. The purpose of life is to live happily. If we postpone happiness to the later years in search for materialistic happiness, we are destined to die unhappy, having never lived at all. All other feelings are natural reactions but happiness is a choice. God had this planned for the souls to be fulfilled even in the harsh conditions that life throws at them. At times of war people see destruction. But the souls that are enriched can etch out happiness in such harsh scenarios because they have the eye to find the smallest of things that can make them happy. The simple sight of a grass growing on a war torn land can fill them with happiness and re-affirm their faith on God's will. 

Life is a flow chart of simple events. It is upon the individual in charge to direct the flow towards happiness. Simple things of life are very fulfilling. It requires no riches to be happy. The person who has understood this has enlightened his/her soul and is destined to have a satisfying death after a life heavenly lived. There is heaven where we want there to be a heaven, There is happiness where we want there to be happiness..Nothing suites better to end this flow of thoughts than this saying,"SIMPLE LIVING, HAPPY LIVING"

The focus and support provided to sports persons along with successfully organising international sporting events have made Bhubaneswar the sports capital of India. The center for all this has been the Kalinga stadium located in the city. This stadium has gained international reputation in recent years. 

Sports can be both indoor and outdoor. While Bhubaneswar is the sports capital organising events mostly of outdoor category, The twin city of Cuttack has been doing great in the indoor segment. The stadium in picture is the Jawaharlal Nehru indoor stadium. This is currently in the spotlight because of the on going Common wealth Table tennis tournament. This stadium is the jewel of cuttack that shines today with honor and pride of this heritage city.

International sporting events are quite spectacular. It provides a stage to showcase talent. For the host nation its an opportunity to showcase their culture and way of life.This not only ensures the flow of tourist but also has an impact on the visiting sports persons. They play and return home with memories of the unique place they had the opportunity to visit.

Deserted for most part of the year, this stadium remains in the heart of everyone in the city. This is located at the barabati fort complex which is the royal grounds from where once the whole of Kalinga was ruled. Such sporting events are a necessary to highlight the stadium and also for the people who can take pride of being host for the international crowd. Bhubaneswar has gained the title and being a twin city Cuttack is not left behind, it shows the glory of its past with the touch of modern times which makes it unique..Looking forward to more such events..Where Cuttack gets recognised for the heritage it is..
