If money could buy happiness, the richest people on earth would be happy, but if we look around us, we will find that many of them are unhappy. They worry, fear and suffer. They are stressed. Some are sad. Some people end their lives. Why? Because happiness is not a product that can be bought. We can have everything and still be unhappy or we can have nothing and still be happy. Happiness does not depend on what we have but on how we feel.Money belongs to the outside world. Happiness belongs to the inner world. You may have read this a thousand times but it’s nothing but the truth: Money can buy a bed but not sleep. He can buy a ring but not love. Medicine can be bought with this but not health. With this you can buy a house but not a house. With this you can buy a watch but not time. Therefore, money can buy things, but not happiness. We have been conditioned to believe, ‘If I get more, I will be happy.’ More money, more success, more wealth, more recognition. But as soon as we get what we want, the mind asks for more. We move from one desire to another. We are on what is called the hedonic treadmill: we keep chasing pleasures but getting nowhere. Desires can never quench our thirst. They can only tear us apart. It’s like trying to fill a vessel that has a hole in the bottom. No matter how much we pour into it, it will never be filled. The problem is that we mistake happiness for happiness. Money creates pleasure, comfort and convenience – but not happiness. Happiness is temporary. Happiness is permanent. Joy excites. Completes happiness. Happiness comes from sense gratification, wealth, achievement, success. It is fleeting. We need something else. We should go beyond happiness towards peace, which is the basis of happiness. And finally, to purpose, which is to realize the ultimate goal of life – Who am I? That’s why I write happiness with the 3 P’s – reflecting the 3 keys to happiness: Joy, Peace, and Purpose. True happiness begins when we go beyond the mind and into awareness or consciousness. In this state of awareness we experience peace. The intellect replaces the mind – which is the source of our suffering. When we stop chasing material things and start appreciating what we have; When gratitude replaces greed; When we live a full life, when we live with satisfaction, we are peaceful and happy. A poor man who is satisfied can sleep peacefully. A rich man suffering from anxiety may toss and turn all night. Between these two – who do you think will be happier? This does not mean that money is useless. We all need it to survive. To earn livelihood. It can also create opportunities to serve and share; It can be used for the betterment of humanity. The problem is greed, our lust for money, our love for money. And the mistake we make is that we expect money to do the job it was never meant to do – to make us happy. Happiness is not a pursuit, it is a race to become an ace. This is an option. Instead of saying, ‘I want to be happy,’ we should say, ‘I choose to be happy.’ Happiness is not about money, but about moments and minutes. It’s about the joy of being in the now, the present moment. It’s about making others happy. And when we awaken to our true self – the ultimate truth that we are not body, mind and ego but soul, a part of God, we experience a happiness that no market can sell and no currency can measure. A happiness that comes from deep within, unaffected by events, circumstances, a state of eternal peace and bliss.

Pune received unexpected hailstorm, turning its usual dusty summer into a real winter wonderland. The town, especially Hinjewadi, was covered with snow stones, sparking widespread awe and shared joy. This rare event offered a collective pause, washed away the dirt, and provided a memorable story for residents.

It’s a great base, but we could definitely put a little more “soul” and rhythm into it. To make this feel less like a report and more like a conversation over a cutting tea, I’ve focused on sensory details – the smell of the earth, the distinctly “Pune” vibe, and the collective gasp that the city elicited.Here’s the humanized version:

When Pune traded dust for diamonds

Pune usually follows a predictable scenario at this time of the year: the rising heat, the persistent layer of dust, and that dry air that forces you to reach for your water bottle every ten minutes. But this week, the city decided to scrap the script altogether.There were not only clouds in the sky; It flipped a switch. One minute we were having a normal summer afternoon, and the next, it was raining heavily on the sidewalk. Then came the sound – a loud, rhythmic patter that was definitely not raindrops. Hail. For a few unreal hours, the summer “pause” button was pressed, and the city felt like a different world altogether.

Hinjewadi “winter”

While the changes affected different parts of Maharashtra, Hinjewadi – the land of glass buildings and endless bumper-to-bumper traffic – became the unexpected star of the show.Almost immediately, the group chat and feed were buried under videos of tiny white snowflakes bouncing off car hoods and depositing on balconies. If you look at the ground, you’ll swear someone has shoved a giant snow globe over the tech hub.High-rise buildings: People living on the 10th or 15th floors watched in disbelief as hailstones bounced off their balconies.The “first-timer” feeling: For many who have called Pune home for decades, it wasn’t just “unusual weather” – it was a “where were you then…” moment.

“Not Russia, it’s Pune”

The Internet, as it happens, went into mass meltdown. But it wasn’t just about the weather; It was about shared relief.One person captured the mood perfectly, joking that the city was finally getting a proper angol (bath) after being shrouded in construction dust for weeks. You could almost feel the trees breathing a sigh of relief as the dirt washed away.Comparisons were inevitable. “Is this Switzerland? Kashmir? No, it’s just Hinjewadi Phase 3,” became a trend. Be it a single word “wow” or a 20-second clip of a broken pot, everyone wanted to document the magic.

a collective deep breath

What was really interesting was not the meteorology, but the energy of the city.Before the clouds parted, there was that intense, lifeless heat that made everything feel like a chore. When snow started falling he disappeared. There was a rare mixture of shock and genuine joy. People weren’t just looking at their weather apps; They were stepping out from their balconies, reaching out to catch a piece of the sky, and just… Watching.“It’s those rare moments where a city of millions of people really stops and looks at the same time.”

More than just a forecast

Sure, this caused some chaos. Deliveries were delayed, traffic (somehow) slowed even further, and power grids faltered. But for once, no one minded the “hiccups.” The disruption felt like a fair trade for spectacle.At the end of the day, we didn’t just get a drop in temperatures; We got a story. It’s the kind of day you’ll look back on a few months later when the heat is at its peak again, take out your phone to show someone a video and say, “You’re not going to believe this, but the streets were actually white.”Sometimes, the best things in life are the ones that show up unannounced, break us out of our routine, and remind us that nature still has a few tricks up its sleeve.

CSK batsmen failed to rise to the challenge.Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who showed excellent form in the recently concluded T20 World Cup, got out cheaply in his first game in the yellow shirt against his former team. Left-arm quick Berger produced a brilliant performance on the last ball of the second over, with the Kerala opener bowling a ball of length at over 140 kmph that rattled his off stump. Off-pitch turmoil cut short his debut for the Super Kings.In the next over, again on the last ball, Archer’s fuller delivery exceeding 143 kmph troubled the middle stump of CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.Burger hit a four on the next ball, which was the first ball of his fourth over. His sharp bouncer took off the gloves of India’s Under-19 World Cup-winning captain Ayush Mhatre and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel did the rest. CSK were reduced to 19/3.
