Now I know this may sound a little bit odd to you, but my sense of happiness is a little different from normal people. Happiness is brought to me by something... that makes me feel alive and want to smile, yeah I know what you're thinking, that's not something odd and different, its completely normal, but as I continue with my story you will understand my point of view better.

It was a very normal day, nothing very remarkable about it. The same routine, getting up, getting dressed, having breakfast and continuing with the daily chores, it all felt so very continuous and boring...all this monotony in my life was a reason of my dullness, thought my mother, but only I knew the real reason behind it.

Since we shifted in our new house I had this rule of having yellow energy savers around the house, because they brought cheerfulness and liveliness. How ever the others opposed me they thought that it only is a source of getting blind. "With this little light you'll end up with a headache soon." Some said while others thought it made my room look dull. But to me it brought contentment and life.

One fine morning, my world collapsed and I felt inside a well, the walls were closing in and there seemed no reason to stay alive. Why doesn't the world understand my problem. It is my fundamental right isnt it to have freedom of opinion, atleast we were taught that in political science.

This will be marked a dark day in my life's calendar. How can they do this to me?? I only ask for this one thing to have yellow lights in my room. And now i sunk in to ground as i saw my mother approaching with a ladder and some bulbs. I didn't need an explanation for this to understand her intention. She had been going on about it since ages. moment of silence for me!! She had threatened me that someday when she had time she would change my bulbs into white one's and i had ignored her threat.

Let me just brief you in why i am so desperately against white bulbs, because they suck the life and happiness out of you. My previous room was white lit and it gave me a sinking feeling every time the sun set, every sunday evening and every exam season i felt like the loneliest person alive depression would sink into me causing my big smile to vanish, replaced by "no expression". One day i will find this out whether its true or not. If yellow light gives you cheerfulness and white light does the opposite, people dont believe me but im sure this is a psychological phenomenon. Ever since my new room was made, filled with yellow energy savers i have never felt that horrible sinking feeling in me no matter how toigh the times are. I still rmember back in the old house i would pace around the room or look for some company because i would get restless at evening time.

Any ways now back to the story. So why was my world collapsing? Well because my mom who was looking for an opportunity for changing my room bulbs, had now definitely found one.

Last night there was a spark in my room and my corner bulb fused. This was an opportunity of a life time for my mother, i became extremely upset as i saw her approaching i knew she would fulfill her desire and plant here a WHITE PHILLIPS ENERGY SAVER "blekh!"

I hated that thing..but she was determined this time and wouldn't listen to my reasons and excuses. "Enough young women its just your mind that is causing you to think this way other wise mere lighting cannot change one's mood" she would say when i would reason with her.

I had opened my mouth to say something but i knew i was a lost cause.
