Srinidhi
How many times has the thought of you
feeling worthless popped up in your
minds? Do you remember how many
times you have dozed off feeling like a
failure, a sense of burden and being
unproductive engulfing you? Have you
gone through the feeling of rejection by the
person you love the most? Getting up from
your beds seems a task uphill , impossible
to be tackled off for a moment, ever
happened?
You are depressed but not actually
depressed. You smile, but not from your
heart, you are alive but not living, you are
acting to be ecstatic but honestly, your soul
is shackled in invisible barriers. You pass
your days as if it’s a duty, and you have
been so used to your sufferings that it
doesn’t bother you anymore, you are
tuned to live with all that pressure in your
head.
4 | Dopamine • July’19
Stop for a moment, pause, take a look,
inhale, is that what you were born for? No
darling, you were born for some great
missions. You were born to be happy , not
to master sufferings. And happiness is not
an external thing that will be bestowed
upon you by somebody else. You have to
create that happiness. Joy starts within
you. Its got nothing to do with outside, the
materialistic world. It starts from you. Pain is
inevitable, that’s a part and parcel of life
but suffering, its optional. You can have
pain, but you don’t have to suffer
necessarily.
So often, you align your happiness with
other persons that you lose yourself in the
process of making them happy in order to
be happy yourself. Honestly, it’s a hard pill
to swallow but everybody doesn’t have the
same heart as you. No matter what you
do, something will not be upto the mark, so
STOP looking for happiness outside of you,
stop seeking love, validation and
happiness from others. First love yourself,
love yourself to an extent that giving love to
others wouldn’t empty your box of self love
, it isn’t vanity, it’s pure sanity. Be grateful for
your existence because you, you have a
mission, which is yours and yours alone
and you may not know it at this present
moment, but it will eventually unfold to you
in the best ways.
Loving your own self, accepting even the
darkest secrets and crevices about you
which no one else has the right to know
and embracing that with all your heart,
that’s the first step towards a happy life.
The more love you give to yourself, the
better you will attract in return. Try
validating yourself without any opinion
clouding you, try not to seek love outside
and see, how empowering that is. Believe
in yourself, work on yourself, work for
yourself, believe in magic and miracles
and see how magic blooms in your lives.
Wake up every day, feeling grateful that
you have been bestowed with an
opportunity to live this day. Try your utmost
and give your 200 percent wholeheartedly
in everything you do, even the smallest act
you take up. Its okay to not succeed, every
winner starts out as a learner, be proud of
yourself for trying, pat your shoulders and
say well done, and work hard the next day
and repeat this till you climb that ladder of
success. Believe that you deserve all that
you wish and give so unselfishly to others.
Have faith that you matter and
affirmatively tell yourself, today is my day
every morning. But most importantly, love
yourself everyday. Only you know your
battle and how hard you are fighting it, so
embrace yourself and you will achieve the
milestones bit by bit. Cultivate the art of
self-love and see, how mystically
happiness will be nurtured and developed
in your life’s garden.
So are we all ready to love ourselves in the
most amazing ways and take a step
towards a happy, positive and a blissful
and beautiful life?

A Man
Called Ove
by Fredrik Backman
A man called Ove is a book about a
lot of things, none of which looks
superficial in the context in which it is
presented in the book.
The book revolves around Ove, a person of
59, just out of a proper job, who finds it
difficult to deal with people around him
because they don’t seem to live life ideally,
according to him.
He finds himself at constant disagreement
with people about their choices, their
incompetence in doing things which
according to Ove every man should be able
to do.
It’s a story about
how constant
interaction, a bit of
empathy and care, and
the power of sheer
parlance, can move a
person. Imagine a strict old
aged man hell-bent on
committing suicide and failing at it, due to
hilarious hurdles posed by his neighbours.
to being a loving grandparent who tries
buying an iPad for his neighbour’s little girl
who calls him granddad. It’s a very loving
story of the protagonist, which gives us a
glimpse of the thought process, and just
the observably strict nature and the
struggles or conviction which shaped them
into what they are, of curmudgeons around
us, and how they come off to be as they
are. Moreover, this book gives us a reason
to understand such people in our own
lives.

The story moves in flashback with a kind
of anecdotal account of his life from his
birth to his teenage and beyond. That’s just
a fraction of the literary genius of this book.
The author juggles between a variety of
emotions he wants to convey in a
single chapter, and he does that
by constantly moving to and fro
from one incident in his life to
another, where on one hand
he names one of his
neighbours Blonde Weed and
on other admires his father for
the man he was and how he
wanted to be very less unlike his
father. I have never come across a
book which is able to
move from emotion to
another with such
lucidity.
In a unique yet subtle way, the author
throws light on the topic of love. And time.
How it blooms, and ages. How badly it is
missed when lost. How even grumpy
men can soften when the right hands
hold theirs. To quote Fredrik Backman,
“She laughed and laughed and laughed
until the vowels were rolling across the
walls and floors as if they meant to do
away with the laws of time and space.”
A lot seems to be working for this book and
all of its credit goes to the incredibly talented
author we have here. It’s undeniably
relatable. Most of us either have encountered
someone like this around us and sometimes
even in our own families.
This book is one among those which excel
at giving you a glimpse of a long era, of a
person or a situation or a life, in some 300
pages. It’s a fantastic read, this book. One
should definitely try reading this
one because first of all it is
hilarious, and secondly, it’s very
warm when thought about in retrospect.

Life is much busier now, people are more
stressed, and be it the schools or the
workplace, the amount of mental work has
increased exponentially.
Working Towards a
Happier Future
In this day and
age of
technology and
everything new,
we seem to still
be stuck on the old
idea of mental
health.
A study conducted by the World Health
Organization in 2015 shows that one in five
Indians may suffer from depression in their
lifetime, equivalent to 200 million people.
Now due to various factors like stigma, lack
of awareness and limited professional help,
only a fraction of these people are being
helped.
The majority of the populace when asked
what mental health according to them is,
stated terms like ‘retard’, ‘stupid’, ‘mad’. Now,
it is not their fault that they think like this,
the older part of the
population grew up
in a time where
stress was low
and life was slow
paced.
But our brains can work at such a
pace only for so long before tiring,
and rest isn’t an option. There are
deadlines to reach, projects to complete
and tests to study for and therefore,
our lives have become so hectic that we
often forget to take a break.
The world changed, our mentality didn’t.
Take a minute and think of the following
situation:
You were playing with your friends one day
and ended up bruising your knee, you hid it
as fast as you could, what if someone saw
it? You rushed home, hiding your wound
from everyone, you don’t want to be
judged. You try to bandage it yourself, try
to hide the pain because you know that
this pain is much better than the one you’d
get if the society knew of your injury.
Seems weird, right? Why would anyone be
so paranoid because of a simple physical
injury? Well, now replace that with
depression, anxiety or any other mental
disorder. Get it? This is the society we live
in today. One where you have to
hide your pain because it’s
better than being judged.
10 | Dopamine • July’19
This mentality is what needs to be
changed, everyone at some point in their
lives feels stressed or anxious and while
it is okay to feel so, what elevates these
feelings is repressing them.
Communicating with others is a crucial
part of mental health, it is healthy to vent
out from time to time as this helps in
getting rid of the emotional baggage we
carry around.
Now as I mentioned before, not everyone
is fortunate enough to have a safe space
to vent out how they feel and here is
where we come in, The Happy
Company. What we do is simply give
others a safe space where they can vent
out their feelings anonymously without
the fear of being judged.
A very famous argument I’ve heard is
‘show me where it hurts’, people won’t
believe mental illness because they can’t
see it. Here is where awareness comes into
play. Once something is shared enough,
people start to talk about their own
experiences with it and through this mutual
connection that thing or topic is
normalized.
A study on people’s attitudes towards
those affected showed that 41% of people
agreed that talking to a mentally unhealthy
person could deteriorate the mental health
of a healthy person.
All you need to do is send in a hi to our
page (@to.a.happier.world) and the
admin will assign you a volunteer. To put
it in simple words, they are like your
friends, always ready to lend an ear. Even
after you’re done venting, they check up
on you every week to make sure you are
fine!
It’s a cruel world out there, and we have
but each other to get through it. Everyone
has problems and no one should have to
go through them alone. Remember that
there is always someone out there who
is willing to be there for you, it is only a
matter of reaching out to them.
Let’s all work towards a happier world!

THE
HIDDEN
FLOWER
//
She is the flower that bloomed in the
middle of a winter storm;
Petals forming in the frigid cold, roots
sprinkled with chilled water.
Energized by a shy sun,
Solemnly peeking through a thick,
smothering fog.
12 | Dopamine • July’19
Photographed by
Arya Sarbadhikari
A flower unrecognized, sitting unplucked,
among a bed of roses.
Beautiful but foreign to the untrained eye,
Left untouched and treated with shallow
indifference.
She is a flower that bloomed in spite of the
winter around her.
Reaching up toward the still, blue sky,
She stretches her leaves, bending and
moving and shapeshifting.
Forced into growth by her circumstances,
She chooses to reach rather than wither
and die.
This vibrant flower grows in gardens within
us all;
Hidden away behind unforgiving shrubs
and overgrown branches.
This flower sits lonely, hoping for a chance
to survive,
Setting her intentions toward life and not
death.
Hoping that the heart that she lives in will
choose her,
Wishing to be acknowledged and brought
out into clear daylight.
This flower knows her worth, knows that
she is worth more than what she is given.
But she struggles to obtain what she
knowingly deserves.
So she bends her petals upward, reaching
still,
Hoping that, as she reaches, the sun will be
kind and shine on her.
Up and up and up, she goes,
Persistently pushing past the sharp, harsh
surroundings she knows of.
And then, like magic, the fog above her
shifts,
Lowering beneath her, covering the shrubs
and the sharpness of broken stems.
Finally, she can breathe clean air and stretch
her leaves in delight,
As the sun bounces upon her petals,
appearing as a welcome to this new world.
As she continues to rise, the sounds of her
old world fade,
And the fresh feelings of a new life cover
her petals with dew.
Finally feeling content, she stands upright,
Solid in her petals and her leaves and her
height.
This flower has overcome a cold winter,
Risen above an unforgiving fog and
conquered suffocating surroundings.
This flower is content with where she has
brought herself to be.
This flower is not going anywhere as she is
free to bloom within me.

your
best
friend
you
know
from
a
week
16 | Dopamine • July’19
Do we need people to survive
at a new place?
Probably not.
For once you part,
you won't remember their faces after two years
And so won't they
And you'll talk twice a year
To wish them on their birthday
And they will reciprocate,
maybe.
Or to ask them for a favour
If you ever visit their city.
Your best friend you know from a week,
With whom you have been exploring new places,
You will never mention their name again in your conversations
You won't call them at 4 in the morning the way you do now
All of this will fade away
Once you part.
But maybe,
You'll make a friend for life
Who might cross cities to see you.
With whom you'll still talk twice a year
But for three long hours
You'll tell them stories from all round the year
And sure they'll hear
Maybe,
Your best friend you know for a week,
You'll meet them once again,
Stuck in the same place
You won't need no more people to survive then.
So maybe,
It would be better to go have cupcakes
With your best friend next door
Than to have them on your own
For you don't know if they'll remember you after a year or not
But they sure do now.

Because self Love
Is All You Need
Sometimes being quietude is all you
need, sit, relax and make yourself
impeccable.
Embrace your pristine and stop
chasing the pleasures that are
immeasurable,
Coz you might miss the fun of
being in the stillness of the
process,
So just revere the joy,
peacefulness and frivolity of
your unexpected voyage.
Stop all the grappling and
exemplification and make
time for your very own
implementation.
Do things that make you laugh,
love and live more. Keep up the
audacity to explore the
unexplored venture and go on
new adventures.
Pour yourself with selflessness,
serenity and cheerfulness.
Because at the end of the day what
all you need is your own self.

Art For Wildlife
Ajay Singh Peelwa
Mr. Ajay Singh Peelwa has a secret superpower –
the ability to create art that connects people with
nature. He started painting at the tender age of
three, taking inspiration from wildlife. His
determination to paint only animals which he has
observed in their natural habitats has lead him into
a remarkable and unique series of journeys. This
close contact with the creatures is reflected in the
realism and vitality of his work. He says, “ It's
experiences like these that inspire me to show that
the eyes of an animal are no different to ours; that
they feel emotions, are a part of loving families and
are sentient beings just like us. ”
Here’s his story in his own words:
I pursued this interest as my hobby and took this
professionally only to raise awareness for the cause
of saving the magnificent national animal, the tiger.
I feel so blessed to express myself through my
wildlife art, with an opportunity to reach others
through the beauty and innocence that shines from
an animal’s eyes. Before I start a piece the eyes are
what I notice first, they completely mesmerise me.
These beautiful creatures are calling me to express
that they are not just mere commodities; to be
exploited, used or forgotten.
18 | Dopamine • July’19
Time and again, I’ve found peace and
solace in nature, like so many artists
who came before me. Nature has the
power to heal and a simple walk in
nature can help us feel rejuvenated. The
more I have observed of the natural
world, the more I have wondered at the
beauty of it.
It is my dream to inspire people to re-engage with the
natural world, to discover the spiritual enrichment this
brings to our modern lifestyles, and to be a part of
something bigger than ourselves. I hope to help make
others aware of the importance of conserving wildlife
and natural habitats and to remind us that as
custodians of this planet it is our birthright to protect it.
India is blessed with plentiful biodiversity, but we must
all work hard to preserve it.

Dancing Away with my Heart
LADY ANTEBELLUM
Are you an old school romantic? Do words like ‘love’ and ‘romance’ still brings
a smile on your face? If yes, then this beautiful song by Lady Antebellum is
for you. ‘Dancing Away With My Heart’ is a song which will always have a
spot on my playlist.
Lady Antebellum is a country trio, and one of my favourites. Their surreal
music surely finds a place in your heart somewhere, and no matter what,
you always turn back to these songs. As for me, I am an old school romantic
and I have a special kind of attachment to songs like this.
The song describes college love; the proms and ball dances one; the one
where it ends in some years after life happens. This song is very
overwhelming, and might bring you a few happy tears.

Cant Stop the Feeling
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Justin Timberlake is a gem in the music industry and ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’
is yet another song that proves it! Another upbeat song that makes up to our
Happy Playlist, and might find a place in your playlist too. The song
beautifully shows that being happy and dancing till your feet gives away is
the best way to live life.
The song gets better with its video. The video is filled with positive vibes; you
can see people dancing around with wide smiles on their faces! It will surely
bring a smile on your face too. Whenever your mood is a bit down, make
sure you can’t stop the feeling of happiness with this song!
Fix You
COLDPLAY
If you are a Coldplay fan, you have probably heard this masterpiece. If you
have not, you probably should and add it up to your playlist! Coldplay never
disappoints us with their pieces and ‘Fix You’ is one such piece you will find
yourself humming often.
Coldplay gives a very serene touch to this song, and end it with a very
energetic feel. And the lyrics you ask? Every line in this song will warm every
inch of your heart. You might even cry if you are high. Chris Martin’s soothing
voice fits well over those lines and you might find yourself staring into oblivion.
A few words can not describe Coldplay’s Magnum Opus, that is Fix You.

Feel
Down
Hey, look up and listen to me, darling.
I know what it feels like to be shattered
enough to think that all the art and beauty
in the world is not going to save you.
But I want you to know, it’s Okay.
It's entirely okay to be feeling anything like
this or even just nothing at all.
It is human to be that way, and it doesn't
make you any weak.
I know that you spread your heart bare
naked in front of him and he walked all
over it.
22 | Dopamine • July’19
But both, you and I know that weaving a
person into words is not easy.
Walking over them is.
So, tell me who is more powerful now? You
or him? Writer or the muse?
He exists because your pen does and not
the other way round.
He was a soul you loved and adored with all
your heart.
He was so beautiful to you that you just
couldn't let him go.
I do not deny his beauty,
But wait,
Take a look at yourself and look into those
eyes,
They hold the hurricanes that he's afraid.
You are made up of stars and galaxies
which he won't ever be able to fathom into
constellations.
We are all broken, and we have all felt as if
it is the end of our worlds.
But it isn't.
It never really is.
A pain so deep, just demands to be felt.
Don't hide, don't run away.
Pain has no escape.
Nothing exists which can't be healed.
Be it you or me or even that drunk girl you
saw crying last night at the club.
We will all heal someday.
Remember, that self-love heals the deepest
of pains.
You are a museum where his eyes could
only see empty hallways.
You possess all the magic in the universe,
lying right on your fingertips.
The world needs you to complete itself, and
you're irreplaceable.
Let no one ever make you believe otherwise.
Even after everything, happy endings still
exist.
You just got a step closer to finding yours.
Relax, breathe and let it go.
You'll be okay, I promise!
Yours truly,
Someone who's exactly been there where
you are right now.
Himanshu Saini
You need to feel it and let every inch of it go
right through your heart.
Fall, and break,
Because once you scrape your knee and
probably even crack open your skull, that's
only when you'll ultimately heal yourself
and stand up once again.

Live Life in
As a young adult, making my transition into
the real world, I set my sights on architecture.
It seemed to be the perfect blend of art and
science and quickly became an obsession
for me. For me, it’s simply art on a much
larger, more technical scale.
After the busy schedules at the office, I got
this idea to start painting. I loved gliding long
brush strokes on my canvas to keep my
mind fresh and relaxed. During that time, I
maintained a collection of my artwork
which eventually came under the spotlight
when I had my first individual art exhibition.
So today, I am an architect by profession
and an artist by passion. I’ve lived my life
drawing, painting, and creating. Colours
make my imagination dance and paintings
help me express oxygen to my creative
lungs. Colours for me, are powerful symbols
to communicate emotions & moods.
Today, it is solely my unconditional love for
art that encourages me to pursue my
interests. Art always brings a positive vibe
and energy to me. Colours have helped me
to come out of the times I was tensed. They
are my best companion. Without them, I
can’t imagine a day. Art is the medium to
know ourselves deeply.
The more time you spend with art, the more
it improves your focus. There's no doubt
about it. Looking at art is a form of
meditation and the more you perform it, the
longer you can focus. I can sit for long hours
without a break by simply painting and
focusing on the task at hand with that, my
mind clears out completely.
Recently, I have come up with my studio
which is a blend of design and creativity,
Concept Art Studio, where art workshops
and classes also take place. I’ve finally
found a place where I fit in, where I belong.
Art has made my life worthwhile, and now
I'm helping others find meaning through art.
I spend my time helping others realize how
art can affect our mood in a positive way,
making us feel happier, calmer and inspired.
24 | Dopamine • July’19
Payal Lulla
Art has a way to reach deep inside our
souls and connect directly with our
thoughts, feelings, and perceptions.
With outer realities, our own
experiences, feelings, and emotions
are painted on the white canvas.
Art helps us cope with
anxiety and the stress of
daily life, and gives a purpose in what
can, too often, feel like a
nihilistic world. It is also a
source of relaxation and
self-expression.

I watched her fall asleep,
The book lying face down on her chest,
Heaving as peace spread across her face -
Gentle snores departing with no rest.
On other days I pray my words
Will make her understand
That the sun does come out,
And that the mornings when the light
Can't sneak till the cramped bedside table
Are also mornings that won't happen everyday.
On days like today,
I hope she can hold the happiness
Close to heart, but also
Keep her other palm wide open
For all the pain to fall on
And feel the ecstasy of healing.
I don't take the book away.
In the daybreak that is yet to arrive,
Its pages will be her sunshine.

positive things to find peace. The most important thing though is to not
give up hope.
Optimism is an important skill to find opportunities and solutions, not some
kind of emotional rose-tinted glasses.The ability to abandon
all apathy creates space for positivity. So, compliment
someone. Express your unconventional interests and you’ll
find yourself making friends in the strangest places.

“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if
you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.”
- Henry David Thoreau
