Q & A - 1: How much money is needed to be HAPPY

Q: If we have little "more" money, then we will be "more" happy. To what extent this is right?


A:   Let us take a hypothetical (imaginary) example of an organization, where the Management tells to the staff, "Instead of paying the excess Income Tax unnecessarily, we want to increase your salaries, as per your wish. Inform us, how much hike in your salary, you want this year?????" 

When the day come to write an application for the above, you wrote as Rs. 10,000 hike in salary you need, for this year.

On the salary day you found that you have got a hike of Rs. 12,000.

You feel very happy, go to home and tell to your near & dear "my organization has recognized my services and I am very happy for it". 

After 2 days, you came to know from the collogues that, one of your colleague of your same cadre, has got a hike of Rs. 15,000.

That day you will be very unhappy. You go home and tell that - " There is no place for good people, persons doing chamchagiri got higher salaries, etc, etc, etc".  


What has happened? 
Actually,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you wanted a rise of Rs. 10,000 and you got 12,000 hike.
When someone of your cadre got 15,000 hike, your earlier happiness is turned to sadness.
Suddenly something changed outside and you are unhappy.


So whether you have to be happy or unhappy is being depending NOT on your own mind or possessions, but on something else. 
It means, comparison with others has become the cause of your happiness/unhappiness, than your original possessions, achievements, etc, etc.

Your friends / neighbors / relatives a bigger house or better assets, etc, etc, are becoming the causes for your happiness/unhappiness, in general. 

In such state of mind, can any one be happy continuously, though he got everything, which is sufficient to meet his needs, by all means?

Just think on this and let me know your response please, my dear.

Regards,
Abdul Naseer.

Ballia Reunion on 7.1.2026

My dear friends, Sometimes, life gives us a second chance to step into a photograph we thought had faded. This is the story of one such gift —a get-together of the  Ballia Babuas  on  07.01.2026  at the  Ramapriya Convention, Vijayawada . It began, as all beautiful things often do, with a simple message. About fifteen days prior, our dear friend  Mr. Ramachandra Rao Ji  posted an invitation in our WhatsApp group—a digital call that echoed across years and kilometres. Day by day, he added names to an animated list, each confirmation a spark rekindling a fire that had last burned in  Ballia , a town in eastern Uttar Pradesh on the banks of the Ganga. For those who may not know, Ballia is more than a place on a map. It is where our former Prime Minister, Shri Chandra Sekhar, hailed from. It is where the SMMTPG College once opened its doors to students from Andhra Pradesh, offering a bridge—a one-year Remedial Course—that allowed us to pursue dreams i...

My Ballia Memories

My dear frineds, Greetings to you all. In this post I am sharing my memories attached to "Ballia", where I studied the one year Remedial Course and 2 years M.Sc(Ag) Economics Course, from 1980 to 83, in the SMMTPG College, Ballia.  Folloing is our College Photo. This is the back side of the college. After receipt of the front side photo, I will update it.   During the 1st year, I stayed in the College Hostel. And for the next two years, along with    Mr. Lakshmi Narayana [a M.Sc course student from Vijayawada], I took a Room on rent, in the Police Lines, Ballia. The House owner was Mrs. Suseela Gupata, a teacher. She, her Son     Mr. Suneel and we both students, use to stay in that House. Mr. Lakshminarayana vacated the room after completion of his course. Then Mr. Kishore, Mr. Ramesh Babu, Mr. A V Ramana Reddy and Mr. Surendra become my roommates.  Following are my M.Sc(Ag) Economics Course batchmetes. 1. R. G. Upadyay, Associate Professor 2. Dr....
