WHEN ONE RUNS BEHIND FAME, WEALTH AND CULTURE WHILE SEEKING HAPPINESS THEN THE PROCESS BECOMES NEEDLESSLY LENGTHY. IT HAMPERS OUR INTELLECT BUT FAILS TO TOUCH THE HEART. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE LITTLE INCIDENCES OF HAPPINESS IN OUR LIFE PLEASE US A LOT. THEY HELP TO MAKE OUR LIFE BETTER IN MANY ASPECTS. AT LEAST, THAT IS WHAT I THINK. JUST IMAGINE THAT ONE OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS IS VERY ILL AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEEK A FAMOUS DOCTOR FROM A BIG METROPOLITAN CITY. BUT THEN THE SINGLE ROSE YOU CARRY WITH YOU WHEN YOU VISIT YOUR FRIEND GIVES HIM IMMENSE HAPPINESS. HE MIGHT NOT BE A POET, MIGHT NOT BE A READER, YET, THE FLOWER WILL SURELY BRING A SMILE ON HIS PAINED FACE. THE FLOWER WOULD SURELY REVEAL THE MESSAGE THAT THE ONLY TRUTH LIES IN 'THIS VERY MOMENT'.
