I think sometime in everyone's life they will think about the key to happiness. Some say happiness is a state of mind while some say that it doesn't exist. constantly asks me this question on my profile page, "What makes you happy?" It's just a click-bait for me to update my introduction section. 
Not falling for that obviously!

That brought me back to a scene I saw one morning on the way to work. We were driving by the underpass and I saw two elderly Indian men sitting by the curb chatting with each other. Both of them were smiling and laughing. 
These two men are foreigners who are here to earn a living by collecting recycled materials. They usually pile up their old battered bicycles with card board pieces which they found and also other items such as aluminium cans and plastic bottles. They will bring these items to the recycling centre in exchange for cash.

What struck me was that in the busyness of the intersection, where everyone was rushing to work or somewhere... they were just chilling and enjoying the moment. They were fellow countrymen having a chat. I couldn't capture the scene with my mobile cam but the scene stuck in mind. Their happy faces still edged in my memory... I think for a brief moment there, they truly found happiness in each other's company. 
So what do you think happiness is? Is happiness and state of mind? Being content with what you have? Living in the moment? Appreciating your loved ones? Smiling? Laughing?
I'll leave you with that. Hope everyone is doing well and... happy.
