Life's Lessons: It’s easy to find happiness if you know how

Raja’s garden appeared to be cleaner and the trees were always lush with fruits. Madhan and Mayil laboured hard to make things work, but their garden looked drab. And, as usual, they quarrelled every step of the way. After a day of constant argument, Mayil quietly asked her husband, "What is the secret of the harmony in Raja and Rani’s life?" 

The question struck a chord with Madhan, who decided to watch the neighbours closely.

Rani was watering some plants from a bucket of water when her mobile phone rang and she rushed inside. At that time, Raja came dashing up the steps, kicked the bucket, spilled water everywhere and almost fell down. Rani came out with her mobile phone in hand, and quickly apologised to him. He laughed and getting back on his feet, said, “No, it is my fault I did not notice it.” 

Madhan understood how relationships work.

Moral: Perfection does not lie in finding faults. However, when you look at a problem from another person’s point of view, you will lead a happier life.
