A journey from Happiness to Bliss passes through joy
In furtherance of the objectives of ‘The Senior Citizen Welfare Society of Sector 42, Chandigarh’, the 6th general meeting of the members were organised today, this episode focused on the Theme ‘Joy’. The previous episodes were all organised around Fitness. The fitness is generally pursued by stress induced physical programs, and for senior citizens, it is recommended to go in for mild stress. Likewise, in the case of daily rigours and carrying out of the various tasks, stress plays a vital role with the like of an inverted bath tub, which implies a small amount is always essential. If such levels are borne with joy, then it helps in a much better organisation of self. Differentiating between the two form of ‘Joy’ and ‘Happinesans’, Prof P Thareja, the President of ScitWels exhorted the senior citizens to find joy between the ups and down inventively, nursing from inside, as opposed to Happiness. He welcomed the chief guest, and the Invited speaker Prof (Dr) Y K Anand, who discussed the Theme of “Anandonomics and Self Management by Senior Citizen by way of an expressive speech and great articulation. He charted a framework from Happiness to Bliss through joy, explicitly emphasising on Anand through sharing, social service and uplifting the youth from 15 to 45, highlighting the gains and the pleasure. He called upon the members to revisit their competencies, and consider if these could be redeployed for a new purpose of life.
The Senior Deputy Mayor, Mr Jasbir Singh Bunty, while presenting the Momento to Dr Anand complimented for his contribution of skill services, and assured full cooperation on his behalf and also on behalf the SCitWelS-42.
