What makes you happy? (contest on IndiaUnited)
A week before, I had posted the above asking for submissions and I was quite pleased with the increased number of submissions.
Happiness is a state of mind and even if the situation at present is quite the opposite, people are doing their best to be happy and calm.
My dear friend on the Neoxian server has written a beautiful post on how to calm yourself. Please do take a few minutes to read it and subscribe to her youtube channel.
[REIKI BOOST] Energy Therapy for Calming the Mind, Soothing the Spirit & Relaxing the Body by 
Nature has a special way to calm us and even if we are not aware of it, we are being slowly revitalized if we have a walk outdoors. I too have taken a trek up the river path which led us to the point where it originated and trust me, it cannot be described by mere words. The sheer flow of water along the rocks made us silent and gaze at it for long. So, yea, you guessed it. Visits to the shopping mall do not make me happy exactly. I would rather prefer to walk in natural environments which our Pope usually does.
So, back to the contest. I have made a person outside of Hive read all the entries and judge them and the results are as follows. I did not want the result to be biassed because I already know many of you.
All entries were good but only three can be winners. I hope we get to see more contests on .

Comments by the Judge
All three winners had taken special pains to write and post personal photos and also explain clearly what made them really happy. Their passion and happiness could be reflected which is what the intention of the contest was.
Words of the first prize winner - 
Aside from being able to stay at home much longer giving love, care and attention to my family when I was finally able to be reunited with them, because at the beginning of the pandemic I was stuck in one country and they were stuck in another.
Apart from being happy discovering the importance of the quality of the time we spend together, doing introspection and healing so many pending things including forgiving myself for one thing and another of which we ourselves make judgments.
At that moment Hive came into my life giving me the opportunity to occupy myself in the midst of what was happening in the world, it allowed me to disconnect from that paralyzed, sick and desperate world, becoming a blogger and with the opportunity to monetize, how wonderful the paralyzed world and I could occupy myself, learn and monetize from home.
As time went by, thecommunity was born where they made weekly challenges with a specific makeup theme, the first time they challenged me and the others until today have been because I fell in love with this art.

तीसरा मुझे लोगो को मदद करना अच्छा लगता है क्यू की किसी को खुश करना खुद की खुशी से कई बडकर मिलती है जिसे की मुझे जब भी मौका मिले मै लोगो की या किसी भी जीव जंतु की मदत कर एक अलग ही खुशी की आनंद की अनुभूति प्राप्त होती हैं ।।
Congratulations to the winners and I hope we in can conduct more such contests soon and a special thanks to
