Yesterday, I was late to leave from work. Not wanting to miss my fast train, I and a friend walking with quite some speed.
Subconsciously, I started finding triangles in the traffic and turnings on the road & slopes. I would picture the triangle, and walk on the hypotenuse! When my friend didnt follow my path, I said it aloud, "Dont you know the 'Pythagoras theorm'. Its best to apply it here. We walk less this ways". With that I started grinning, glimpsed proud faces of all my MATH teachers, right there :)
Well the story doesn't end here!
We reached the station and found a train on the platform. Hardly 1 min difference, but I couldnt reach the platform in time. Once, last week, similar situation, and lost in my thoughts, I ended up catching a train for the wrong destination. Never realised till I "felt" train was heading in the wrong direction. Phew! it had cost me another 30 mins! :)
Anyways, so yesterday I luckily saw another fast train due in 2 mins. I dashed to the regular platform, only to find that train on another. Grumpy in my mood, I was looking absently at the slow train coming on my platform. Tried to cheer myself, that there must be a spl reason to why I missed it. And there stood my spl reason :))
An old lady, all white hair, 1 tooth missing and big frown lines was standing at the compartment door. She saw me, and her face lit up with a cute "Thank-heavens" half-smile! The door step was at some reasonable height, and she wanted me to lend her a hand of support.
Her firm grip, lovely smile, just made up my mood. Though she would have sought help from someone or the other, the fact that it was me, brightened my heart.
These tiny things are what I call my "Feel GOOD" memories... subtle actions with big ear-to-ear grins :)))

There are other 'reasons' to everything in our life than we generally perceive..and they at-times might seem totally unimportant. Finding satisfaction in those is the real crux of happiness. Most of us live for ourselves, but living everyday for something more-than-ourselves makes us god's best creation.
Well, everything happens for the best!!! We might not realize it at that instance.. Certain things can only be understood in retrospect...
N its not our job to seek the reason everytime... It will be known when the time is right anyways.. N finding happiness in little things of life is what makes it worth living... :)
Our past is like night and these memories are the twinkling stars, any time in life this starts are sparking a positive energy in us which make us feel happy.:)
Wooah!!! I am still laughing at the pythagoras thing hahhahahahaha!! Awesome, I say!
:)
