12 inculcate-मनाना, मन में बैठाना, समझाना
From Happy Days we have moved to Happy Hours, a more desperate sales pitch to make people consume more alcohol.This inculcation towards consumption as somehow related to happiness begins early in our life, in that dreadful celebration called the Birthday. Perhaps the most famous and most abused phrase is ‘Happy Birthday’. When others wish us ‘Happy Birthday’, are they telling us to be happy on our birthday or are they pointing out to the fact that because it is my birthday I have to be happy?
For children today, increasingly across all sections of the society, happiness on this day is nothing more than cutting a cake, singing the birthday song and wearing new clothes. Birthdays have succeeded in reducing our idea of happiness into a set of rituals of consumerism
13 proliferation-प्रसार, फैलाव
Now, we have converted religious and cultural festivals into Happy Days. Every event has to be a happy event: Happy Diwali, Happy Christmas, Happy Independence Day and so on. There is tremendous pressure to show that we are happy, whether we are really happy or not. And since we manage to be quite unhappy most of the time, it is easier to follow a ritual of happiness rather than strive for happiness. In this proliferationof Happy Days, it is only the business people who seem to have attained happiness!
14.abysmal-अति-गहन,अस्थिर, बहुत बुरा
synonyms: very bad, dreadful, awful, terrible, frightful, atrocious, disgraceful, deplorable
