Shovan Chowdhury, 29 years of life experience with pains, growth and wanders
“Have you travelled 20+ countries? Someone asked me online. I said, “No” not even a single country.
Do you have a girlfriend? I replied “No”
Did you get a high CGPA in BBA? I replied, “I have graduated with poor CGPA”
Has anyone ever proposed “I love you” to you? I was surprised to hear this and told “No”
Do you have your own house, good bank balance, high-paying job and a personal car? I smiled and said “No”.
Do you have lots of family property? I replied “No” Not even a single piece of land.
Do you impress people within few minutes? I thought and replied “No, I can't.”
“Can you speak English fluently?” I sighed a deep breath and told “No” But I am trying to develop my English skills.
Are you a tall heighted person? I chuckled and told, I am only 5′ 2”.
Are you handsome? I replied, not at all. Moreover, I am growing bald gradually.
Do you have high IQ? I replied, No. Because I forget small incidents very quickly and I always struggle to identify left-right direction of roads.
Do you know how to tie and lace your shoes? I felt embarassed and told “No” But I am practising it by watching youtube videos.
He told me, “Shovan, don't mind. You sound weird. Perhaps you are an unhappy person”.
I replied, No. I am not unhappy about my life. I am truly a very happy person. I have accepted myself. Moreover, I am enjoying every moment of my life despite lots of limitations. Happiness does not depend on traveling several countries, physical beauty, property, cars, high-paying job and a girlfriend. It depends on you. I live in the moment, lead a simple life, work hard, love my parents, spend quality time with my family and friends, explore my country, help people, meditate, run, chase my passion and do what I love to do.
“Very little is needed to become a happy life, it is all within yourself; in your way of thinking”. - Marcus Aurelius
