Being a child is not an option...but staying one is your choice....it is not necessary to make millions to find joy !!! even the smallest of things.. such as finding an empty seat in a crowded metro.. an empty parking lot.. a clean restroom.. free cookies.. smile from a stranger...soft spoken shop keeper... and wat not ??? it all lies out there.. its just our work to find it !! have u seen a child cribbing for doing something wrong - such as a broken doll?? the magnitude might seem petty to grown ups.. but for that kid - she has lost her best friend !!! Their sorrows last for barely something called a moment... cos thats the age when ur mind is fresh and gets easily influenced by other beauties of earth - such as a colorful butterfly battling its beautiful wings around the garden.... or even a tapeworm wriggling its way into its mud house !! There is no such thing in life that is worth even a momentary depression or desperation.. every minute is precious.. Even a mass destruction - what is the use of crying over it?? rather spend that time in thinking of ways to help those in trouble and ways to prevent such misfortunes from happening.. Children come out with new ideas in a jiffy.. Impossible is never an option to them !! Anyone who has made a mark on earth would still have his child like attitude hovering deep in his personality..
Ok now.. enuff of that.. let me tel you some moments that did bring me joy irrespective of what circumstance i was in or which way my life was taking me........
Till a little earlier.. i did know one kind of love that existed... and now i am elated to learn of its existence and feel grateful to all circumstances that lead me to that very moment :)
In a crowded metro myself and one other person whom I have known for close to 6 years now(man time does fly)... it is very strange that sometimes despite being with people for years.. it takes only a few minutes to understand them.. but those minutes dont come that easily !!! As was the case with us... we have had unforgettable memories in the past.. not to mention the mischiefs and comedy we have done together rite from the day we met in a place now called haven, outside the city of chennai in a remote desert like area !! But this was nothing like b4 !!!
We both just tried to find some space to fit ourselves in the entire crowd near the doors of the metro..and fortunately i found some hold to cling on... as for her.. it was my little pinky that she held to... poised herself in that ever jerking rail... those few minutes.. gave me that unforgettable joy in my mind.. holding on to her the least way possible.. and listening to a song which seemed to play at the rite time... "kalluri malarae" from one good movie "snegithiyae" (translates as "my friend")... those few minutes.. i felt so responsible for her.. loved her with all my heart... and was overjoyed by something that seemed so mutual between us !!! That child i saw in her those few minutes brot out the long gone child in me... Only then i realised.. it is not necessary to be lovers to express any form of love... just a little deed for a close one is also enuff to bring out that love which buries itself deep within oneself and usually refuses to show up at ease !!! Yeah that moment... is something i would like to hold on in my memory forever !!!
