He wanted to play guitar and live his life on his own terms.
Later on he became a renowned and famous guitarist of the whole world.
But, when he was young, he had this burning quest for finding out the true meaning of happiness(KHUSHIYAAN) in life. To find out ,He searched through all sorts of things and possessions that are apparently described to give happiness to others such as money, fame, cars, female, house etc etc but he found happiness in none of them. He also visited all worshiping places from temples, mosque to gusudhwara and church because people tends to find peace and happiness at such places. But, that too didn't served his purpose .True, It all gave him happiness but it was not permanent. It gave him happiness just for some moments!
Then, On a random day while walking through an unknown path with his guitar on his back. he catches glimpse of some children playing and rejoicing at a distance. he headed in that direction. the path he was walking on leads him to an elementary school.
He goes in and watch them children play for a while. while he was watching them his own childhood flashed in front of his eyes and he felt elevated and happy from within. he pulls front his guitar and played a beautiful melody for the kids.
On that day, He founds out that the Real happiness lies in being simple , being emotional ,funny, being stupid and living in the present moment. It lies inside and in being childlike. He stored that lesson in his heart till the end of his days and lived a happy life.
So, lets take on some free moments out of your apparently busy life and make a trip to your past.
Search for the child you were once whose innocence and simplicity faded away by the harsh slaps of life and feel that innocence , that smile and that simplicity once again.
I bet you will feel really happy. :)
