Club 99

Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The King asked the servant, " Why are you so happy?" The man replied, " Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies ." The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted advisor.

I was wondering while walking down the lane to my home, how many faces do I see who are smiling ..infact I thought would count it out for once. But alas the number was too close to negligible. The only smiles people share are the acknowlegement smile and they are not soulful. One such smile I remember is of a sardarjI uncle I used to meet for my morning stroll in the park, close to my place, where I used to go for morning jog. We would meet and smile and wish good morning and he would say" God bless you my child"and I would ask if he was doing okay. And I think we would look forward to this small interchange everyday. He said his blessings from soul for they were so toughing and he had such a pleasant face. And if I would go after a gap he would ask me "Coming after a long time ?" The reason I remembered it is I felt sorrow for the people who actually needed laugh clubs to laugh the happiness which one soulful smile can pass is so much missing these days. Neways ano
