Everyday happiness
The HinduYesterday, I met an acquaintance who assumed I was still employed. No more preparing classes, no more sending countless requisitions of various kinds, no more stress from conducting tests or exams and evaluating them, no more late-night sessions finishing student projects, no more managing time, no more missing weekends due to academic work, no more rushing to meetings… oh, and much more. I stroll in my garden, wishing my plants a lovely morning… there’s the canna with its bright yellow bloom waving at me, the pink hibiscus smiling down with its pink hues, the red and pink oleanders with their cheerful blooms, and a little away, the fragrant night queen telling me that darkness is moving away. After reading a few research articles and the opinion page of the newspaper and reflecting on that content, I go to bed satisfied and glad, having spent a stress-free, mentally active, and delightful day. I do spend time in academic pursuits updating myself with what my scholars or students are doing, giving guest lectures, reading articles and books and writing different types of articles.
