Sri Aurobindo College of Commerce and Management on August 28, 2025 organised a session on the topic ‘Beyond Smiles: The Psychology of True Happiness’ under ‘Shape the Mind Programme.’ The resource person for the expert talk was none other than Dr. Savneet, Head, Department of Psychology, Guru Gobind Singh College for Women, Chandigarh. Dr. Puja Jain introduced the distinguished speaker in her eloquent manner. Then Dr. Savneet started the session in extremely exciting and lively style and greatly dwelt upon the power and importance of happiness in modern times. In her highly educative, informative and well packed lecture, she focused on the fact that there is a sea difference between temporary and sustainable happiness. She said getting a thing that one desires may bring transitory joy, but the real question is—will that feeling of joy last permanently? Perhaps not. The science behind true happiness, she said, can be biological, psychological and sociological. At times we hyphenate money with happiness. It is a wrong hyphenation. Money may bring short comfort but not the everlasting one. She also talked about the practices that foster true happiness. She further stated that one should not wait for the real happiness to embrace you, rather you should be the one to pocket it as and when it comes. She most beautifully stated that humans are always better than the gadgets because gadgets do not possess any psychological acumen, whereas humans do. The students were all acclaim for not only the brilliant talk but also for the brilliance of Dr. Savneet. Mr. Sahil Ghai expressed gratitude to the luminous speaker through vote of thanks. Mr. Vinay Dawar lent a great hand in making the session a success.
