I have often said unto others that life is about finding
happiness, but am often stumped when I cannot even answer to myself, what is
happiness? How do you know when you have it?

Its again been a long while since the last post, which have
been left incomplete in the series as they were too cheerful for the intent and
purpose of this blog. The time continues to roll by, the days seem to go by
faster even though the nights shorten as summer approaches. In a couple of
weeks, it’ll be exam time again, scrambling for notes, assignments and nervous
eating. The internship frenzy has begun already and yet again, being part of
GGSIPU curriculum, the semester ends a month after that of DU and most of the
good ones are already taken. Nonetheless, as someone once said, battles are won
by preparation, and with that I began keeping an eye out for any news on
possible internship offers and updating my resume.

It was while rewriting that one page of information about
myself and my achievements that I realize how few of those I have. I never
participated in any competitions, so there isn’t even a scope of positions or
prizes won. My marks are best left unmentioned, not that they are very low,
they are actually exceptionally average, which is why. However, it is looking
like a much better bio than the one I had a year ago. Since then, I have taken
many short assignments and projects for various individuals and companies, most
of which are in the field of photography and design, which from the lack of
response to my application in newspapers doesn’t seem appropriate for a writing
job.

Anyhow, turning my attention back to the original purpose of
this post, an experience I want to share and discuss with you, reader. Not too
long ago, I wrote a post about how I appreciated my life and how fortunate I am
to have it all. But lately, quite often I feel rather empty. I have all my
needs taken care of, good food, good home, good clothes, good family good people,
and yet I still feel as my life is hollow and without joy. Now, don’t get me
wrong, I’ve been having a lot of fun days with friends and family, outings and
dinners and movies and whatnot, yet, that happiness fades as quickly as it
comes. I look around me, and I hear my failures seem to echo in my heart and
mind, the faint taunts of dreams and ideas unfulfilled. The pile of work that
needs to be done, college, studies and for developing professional prospects is
one that keeps getting higher every hour. The emotional strains of a college
adolescent are an unwelcome additional burden to the already overworked vitals
of an individual.

There are all these problems, none of them dire of course,
I’m not being a first world nation whiner, but am perplexed by my emotional and
mental condition. I can find nothing wrong with my surroundings. I have my
family, my friends, my really close friends and even a partner…yet, I feel
isolated in my vast social network. The question I simply fail to answer right
now is, if everything is right yet all feels wrong, then what is missing?
