HappinessWala is Live in Action!
Life is about being a hero, a “HimmatWala”*.(personally/subconsciously, it’s also about SriDevi, my personal infatuation since 1983; but that’s a personal thing). Now the Himmatwala story is about getting a bad deal in life, anger and fighting villains & demons, before the hero finds love and success.
Actually, it’s about everyone’s story. Your and mine. We all have villains to fight, love & success to win in our lives.
The struggles of life are essential ingredients to becoming a hero. We always have a choice with negative life events: either we get stuck or we use the hurtful event to start a transformation and be a hero.
(PS: hero is a gender neutral word; My wife is a hero)
Now being a hero is a life long journey and it’s important to enjoy that journey, right? To celebrate every moment of this journey, we bring you HappinessWala!
What is HappinessWala?
HappinessWala is about being happy in this moment of our life while fighting with demons outside. (and inside). HappinessWala is about being the best possible version of ourselves in every situation of life.
Now happiness is a complex story to write. A simple thing like eating chocolates/mangos, spring cleaning or working in the kitchen garden can give us a lot of happiness. For others it could be being in service to the society. Or earning more money. Or finding Love. Or being a child again. Or in company of a special person. Or a combination of the above or something else altogether.
Happiness has different meanings to different people.
What we believe/do/plan to do at HappinessWala:
- To plan to be the hero of our lives; the best possible version of ourselves.
- We believe that happiness is earned. There’s nothing like a “happiness” grant from God.
- We will research on the recipe for happiness.
- We will ponder over what makes us happy.
- We will measure our happiness score to track our situation and progress
- We will take action steps on happiness
- We plan to create a platform for HappinessWala!

Why I wrote the book?
My blogging journey gave me the idea of the book. Also, my 20+ years in the financial services industry exposed me to various myths and mis-information amongst customers that I thought I could clarify. Essentially I wanted to answer questions like the following:- What is the cost of free advice?
- How our personal money story affects our financial decisions?
- How to get better, professional, independent and honest financial advice?
- How to evaluate and buy online financial products that can save you money and also maximize your investments?
What is the content?
The book uses the Lights, Camera and Action buzzwords in the context of money management.Lights
