100 Happy Days: Day 100 Mission Completed

Happiness is successfully completing the task you set out to do.

Today I successfully complete #100DaysOfHappiness. I made peace with the universe.

I had made a pledge to look for happiness and share it with my friends for 100 days nonstop. I had joined other communities on social media and together we picked up happiness whenever we could. Lets face the facts, not all hundred days have been cheerful. Sometimes it was found beneath the pain too, but then who said life is easy? We move on in spite of all the odds, that’s life.

The idea behind this exercise was discipline of finding time to be with one self.  If the truth be told, it is always there within us. We only have to make an effort to be with one self.

Thank to all those who walked with me in this journey, who cheered me when I shared my joys, who found my happiness an inspiring emotion. My journey ends here, not that I will stop being happy, I have learnt that happiness is within me and it is there for me to grasp it any time I wish. I could go on sharing my happiness for 365 days too, but no, I need to move on to another phase of journey.

Life must go on.

So here I am, with completed project of ‘100 Happy Days’I have posted pictures each day here on my blog then shared the link on my page on FB too. Thank you for enjoying my work here and on my page at FB at Pushee’s World

100 Happy Days: Day 99 Scary Whisky

Happiness is winning a first prize in fun contest of creative cocktails

Was attending an event at Momagoto, where there was a contest of making cocktails. All the food bloggers were grouped in teams of three persons. Everybody made very creative and tasty cocktails. When my turn came, I wanted to do something different

Since I like spicy drink, I decided to make a spicy cocktail. So, we crushed basil and put in a glass jar, added black pepper, celery salt, and orange slices. Muddled them and then added orange juice, a syrup, and whisky. Added some ice and shook it well. Rimmed the glass with celery salt and poured scary whisky on the rock.

Surprises! Our team won the first prize. Our experiment was success. The judges said that they had never tasted something so delicious!

100 Happy Days: Day 97 Indian Dolls

Happiness is being immersed in creativity

I was passing through a handicraft store,when this couple caught my attention and took me back to pre-social-media days when all my free time was spent in various handicraft activities including making dolls. Having a creative hobby can liberate us from so many things. I have not made dolls for sometime now, but till today, I have made more than 100 dolls of different culture and costumes. Whenever I make, I am so immersed in the activity that outer world ceases to exist. Right from designing the clothes and jewelry, to getting the expressions closer to reality, the mind is completely occupied around the activity.

Looking at the finished product, there is a sense of achievement. It feels good to stare at your creation of making something from odds and ends. The dolls have life, they talk to you, and they begin to have an identity you can relate to.

Maybe i should make one more soon.
