Hey What a fantastic day today.. Its International Day of Happiness. Yahoooooooo.. Observing these specials days makes us even more joyful, wonderful and makes our life go on. Happiness, a positive emotions or feelings, takes various forms in different people. For some people, playing games are happy, some considers music to be happy, some likes to be alone with their books. Of course, I have my own different way. Please don’t laugh after hearing my happiness..  Happiness for me is trying different variety of cuisines both in cooking or in eating.. ha ha ha.. I am sure there will be many of them who follow me in happiness.. Is that true?  Hmm.. I could hear yes from many sides. J 

Keeping this aside, can we dig some more info about this day?

It’s on 28 June 2012, the United Nations (UN) declared March 20 to be observed as the International Day of Happiness. This day recognizes that happiness is a fundamental human goal, and calls upon countries to approach public policies in ways that improve the well being of all peoples.

UN is enforcing all the countries not only on their economic growth, but also on humanity and their well being. Happy man can make their family, friends and society happier which is crucial in this modern world.  Additionally, the UN acknowledges that in order to attain global happiness, economic development must be accompanied by social and environmental well being.

One more quick question .. Do you all know which country is known for the happiest people in the world? Well.. It’s Bhutan, The Himalayan kingdom. Another interesting fact about this country is its GNH. Usually, in all the countries, there will be an index to measure the economic growth. That is Gross national product. Whereas in Bhutan, National prosperity is measured in terms of Gross National Happiness Index. The GNH rejects the sole use of economic and material wealth as an indicator of development, and instead adopts a more holistic outlook, where spiritual well being of citizens and communities is given as much importance as their material well being.

So, what are you waiting for still.. Lets celebrate this day with lots of fun and enjoy with all our family, friends, relations and make our society happy and feel better..

Agree....? J

World House Sparrow Day - March 20

Ah.. Today is the day for our cute house sparrow which we used to notice when we were all young. But now as we are into our new modern age (!!) with malls erupted, mobile towers erected, one of the species we missed is mainly the house sparrow.

I still remember when I was very young around 6 years, and staying with my granny’s house, I will be hearing the chirping sound of the sparrow which will be coming inside our home, standing near our windows, and so on. Our granny’s house is surrounded by a vacant land on both sides. So, the sparrows were enjoying a lot there. Those sparrows will be a part of our life that time. Even one day if we didn’t hear that sound, we all will be missing it. We won’t be lonely at all with those sparrows.

 I and my sister used to keep food and water for it. With the cute sound, it will come and have it. While having, it will see us which we will assume our self that they are saying thank you to us. We will be so happy. But days went running. Suddenly we felt we are lost those sparrows as people started occupying in the vacant land surrounded by our house. Slowly it got migrated to some other house we thought.

This will be the prominent story happened in most of your life too. Same happened in the world. As we are all seeing our India becoming a shiny city with all tall malls and sleek apartments, we missed to see this cute chirping little bird.

Now an organisation called the Nature Forever Society, headed by Mohammed Dilawar, and a band of sparrow adopters came forward to protect these gentle sparrows in India today. The organisation initiated Common Bird Monitoring Programme (www.cbmi.in), an innovative project to monitor common birds. So, hence on World Sparrow Day was launched in Mumbai, India in March 2012.

Also, Ex Chief Minister of New Delhi - Ms.Sheila Dikshit, in order to enhance the awareness of these bird’s life and habitat, declared House sparrows as the state bird of New Delhi.

Awaiting to hear the birds sound all over soon.. Happy World Sparrow day.. J
