We had an opportunity to visit northeast states of India.
Since reaching Assam on 2nd july, having interacted with some 200+ children from economically poor backgrounds and some 30+ families and observing some passersby, it was nice to see that most of them were "rich in happiness" and we're leading a contended life.
The question that arose was "how to be happy". More or less understood the reason from 2 different incidents.
That was the point of realisation. Be happy. Just like that.

The question that arose was "how to be happy". More or less understood the reason from 2 different incidents.
One, after visiting a tibetian monastery in Arunachal, we wanted to buy a souvenir for some low budget. We identified an item which would cost somewhere around 50₹max (our economic perspective). We were surprised to hear that it costed 250₹. Our friend was shocked and could not resist asking for the reason. The prompt and instantaneous reply was "just like that".
The second incident happened during an interaction with children of age group 10 to 16. They were learning drama, vocals, craft and also the "science through life" program we were offering. When I asked them why do they learn arts, drama etc; just to build a similar case for science, the quorous answer was " we just feel good"
That was the point of realisation. Be happy. Just like that.
