  Moving our context further.Unhappy people very often turn to food to fill the hole in their lives& this van lead to download spiral of obesity& dependence.These people soon turn to comfort foods like ice cream,pasta or mashed potatoes,all foods which release energy very quickly into the bloodstream.A quick fin of ice cream makes you feel good for a while but very soon you are back feeling worse than before,so you need more ice cream to correct the balance.There is a classic pattern of peaks&roughs leading to greater amount of fatty sugar foods to try& balance our foods.

3.'Why not seize the pleasure at once?How often is happiness destroyed by preperation,foolish preparation!'Seize means to take hold of something suddenly&firmly,to grab something.Thus, happiness is not a materialistic thing which can be touched,seen or even purchased from any object or medium.

    It is the state of mindset.Even in the new Mahabharata serial Lord Krishna says to Shakuni that "Sukh or Santosh koi vastu nahi jo prapat ki ja sakay,yeh to Maan ki sithithi hai".
