    Abantika,

    At first we have to know that happiness is not out of us rather it lies in our own self. It should dig out from there like a treasure. So there is no need to seek it here & there. There lies a vast sea of tranquility & happiness in all of us. We are to find out it. Normally we do something for our own interest/profit. But along with it we also should do something only for others specially for those who need our help.We should not be selfish.We should not hurt others. We should be polite towards others. We should not compete with others in every matter. We should not all time judge others. We should not cheat others (& also ourselves). When we do for the welfare of the Humanity & show kindness to lower animals then the real happiness comes out from our core of heart.

    Thanks Friend...

    Spend time with family or your parents, usually brings some happiness, or even a grandparent, and if none of that work escape into a book or movie, or try listening to some music. Hope this has helped a bit.

    You cannot achieve happiness, its not something that can be achieved. You have to live every moment with happiness , be happily dissatisfied for growth, progress and to possess material things in life.

    Happiness is a way of life, if you go searching for it then its like searching for a lost key which is already in your pocket

    Depends on the family.

    The reading books is part of my day to day happiness, though.

  • I do help others

    in college , on streets , everywhere possible .

    Your happiness is always depended on others , if people around you are happy then you don't need to do something special to get yourself happiness .

    If you are getting happy by hurting someone , then its just a momentary pleasure .

    one good method to feel happiness is to control the feelings , there are two feelings one Good and other one is Bad , you need to get rid of the Bad feelings best method to do this is to help others .

    If you do it at least one month you will see a great difference not just inside you but on your face too ,

    I keep hearing from my friends " आज बहुत खुश लग रहे हो ? क्या बात है भाई ?"

    I think if you are in a mode when you try to spread happiness to your family, friends, and anyone you encounter, you have almost achieved happiness.

    When your old enough to move out on your won,

    that will make your parents happy also.

    They want to know that you've grown to "accept your own responsibility."

    But. do be there for a Merry Christmas.

    I think, the best way to achieve happiness is by being satisfied with whatever you have.

    By not being attached to it. By letting it come of its own accord. By not wanting it all the time...by letting go. Happiness alights upon you when it wants to and not by any force whatsoever. Happiness is a byproduct of a heart at peace with itself....

    More the knowledge or wisdom the more happier you are. Basic is not to have desires or attachments on anything to find real happiness.
