A moment of happiness is a fleeting, yet powerful experience that can bring joy, contentment, and a sense of fulfilment to our lives. It can come from a variety of sources, such as achieving a personal goal, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying a beautiful sunset or a mug of coffee. Whatever the source, a moment of happiness is a reminder of the good things in life and can help us appreciate the present moment.
The feeling of happiness is often accompanied by a sense of lightness and freedom. It can be a welcome relief from the stresses and pressures of everyday life, and can provide a much-needed break from our worries and concerns. In this way, a moment of happiness can be a form of self- satisfaction.
Dear readers would you not like to know my moment of happiness? 1st September 2022 at 11.45 am, the upcoming autumn of that year I entered the premises of one of the best educational institutes of the valley. The premises of the institute are covered with glory and greatness, the gardens are cloaked with green turf, and birds fly freely in the spacious sky. Everywhere a clamour, the small rivulet surrounding the zoo, singing the hymn which silences the turbulent mind, the big white edifice: a column of light says an hour full of captivity.
Oh! Are you all wondering what I am talking about? Well, friends let us directly come to my point. As a teacher, the source of my joy is a School; a place of learning. Recently, I joined one of the eminent schools of the valley namely, Kashmir Harvard Educational Institute.
“Waywun fizabahar so..dilkash yeah Nundibooni…
Tofa yeah Kashmir Harvard alimuki daari soni..
Batilyatimitawan, pazaras thaxurchudiwan
Ikhlak phahlawan ,kirdar purnawan
Waywun fizabaharsoo…”
My happiness started here when I heard the aforesaid mesmerising School song which defines Kashmir Harvard Educational Institute beautifully; the majestic grandeur is infused with blessings, modern pedagogies, a flexible environment, and contemporary extracurricular activities. Besides, play an indispensable role in building up these budding blossoms into dignified personalities. What added to my joy is the recently declared examination results. Yes dear ones, the results announced for 10th & 12th standard are worth applause.
The school doesn’t need any acclamation from me. It has the habit of producing prodigious talent. Though being part of the Harvadian family, I can’t claim tall for my appreciation. But through my piece, I want to convey my felicitations to all our students who have passed the examinations with flying colours. Congratulations to all of you; the future of Kashmir, and treasuring acknowledgement to the management of Kashmir Harvard Educational Institute.
My moment of joy…. Indeed!
