Venky...I think you have, indeed, found the secret of happiness. I too
think that many external events within, and beyond our control, happen to
us, but it's our perception of them and our responses that result in how we
feel.I have a friend whose home is called "Atma santulan". That phrase, to
me, is the key to happiness. I am not talking about pleasure or joy, which
may be transient...but happiness that resides within us. Only my opinion
ofkose!

Deepa.
