This time I am soon if not sooner....And the reason being obvious my creative vacations.Obviously I thought I would write my second set of testimonials, but wanted to wait till the end of my vacations for it.So had to put my rusted brain to work to find out what will I write about.Its been long since I wrote anything about my favourite topics...... relationship....bonding..or simply the existence. As I would always do, I took out my diary to find out I had penned down anything interesting in these topics.Amidst the quest of finding out writings, I found out an interesting incident I had written down. And as it was totally interesting, I took down a new page and started to build upon the basic thoughts I had. I dont know if all of you would like it but I hope it doesnt burden you down with heavy heart. Let me start straight down with the incident.........

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
During the monthof April this year I saw two people on the road,a lady and her son( total strangers to me).The lady was about 25-30yrs while the son about 4 yrs.And the heat was eating all of us.As would be my case I was travelling in my beautiful bike.The lady stopped me and asked for a lift. The lady looked quite decent and had a big bag on her hand. I didn't know what was the instinct that told me, but something made me stop and give them a lift.When I dropped them at the end of the road the lady thanked me billion times. Her words still ringing, "God Bless you dear.Thank you so much" and she even asked her cute little son to thank me. I was surprised, it was hardly a road that I gave them a lift, and they thanked me like I had given them life. And I knew the plight of walking on the roads during the month of april especially chennai rocks with heat waves.And amidst the heat it was a magic to hear those words "God Bless You". It made me feel like I was special in some way. A small gesture made my heart elated. And promised me that wonderful people do exist on planet earth.
But this small gesture made my brain cells strained with simple questions "What Makes us special?And is being special in a way "pursuit of happiness"? Am I in the list of those wonderful people?"And as I would always do, I sat down at the corner of my bed, closed my eyes to think for answers. The answers I found made me feel amazingly in debt with lot of small little gestures I had missed before. As it is always true "it is never late than ever". But the answers were beautiful thoughts that I would share with all of you because it would help not all but at least a few people to help create a world of joyful existence and this small little start could one day become a big movement.
And now with this hope I would share with you how my brain reacted to my simple questions to help me add one more wonderful attitude in my heart.And these were the thoughts:
If we could greet everyone around us during the start of the day with a simple "Good Morning" and smile, it wouldn't cost us anything, but gives us a lot of good wishes in return. Though all of us know this, we make excuses to grind down the little good habits that we have. The innocent smile and good morning could have helped in bringing abundant energy in somebody's worn out heart. We all know it is not fair to expect anything from others, but a smile and good morning in return to our greetings could really be worth billions of energy ( and especially if it is a cute girl you had greeted and her reply greetings would have made your day colorful :-)). The little joy that you create through these magic words can only make your heart more happy. And after all, at the end of the day every human's dream would be happiness.
These are small little gestures that money,fame or popularity can never buy you. But these are your most cherished motivators as well as memories that will stay forever in your soul. The simple attitude of making somebody feel special is just so beautiful that if you start practising it, it will desseminate to others like a contagious smile.Small words like "thank you","sorry","I know you can do it","love you dear" and so on can help you spread colours of joy all through the picture of your life as well as others life.Like by a thank you would make someone's help for you get prominence and also add love deep down their heart for the special YOU. Just like that, all of us are humans and none of us are unaware of the fact that
"To err is huma to forgive is divine"
So if you hurt somebody, you always have a chance to apologise. Tell them a simple sorry before it is too late. This magical word could help you unburden your mistakes and help them understand that your heart still treats them in a special way.Also have an open heart when someone makes a mistake and apologises for the mistake. After all they now know that it was mistake and want that special place in your heart back again. So forgive them, for they could fly in the air for these simple words "Its okie dear,please don't repeat it" and you could make their day a special one. And if you haven't done it,trust me it wouldn't hurt you now,but on your death bed you would feel that you gained one good souls hatred because you couldn't tell someone sorry or couldn't forgive someone's mistake.
After all I know on my death bed I might not be happy if I know I couldn't make difference in anyone's life. On the contrary I might be really happy if there was at least a single person who would come and say
"You will always remain in my heart" or with their sweet little tears tell me how much I meant for them. The more the number, the more happy I would be. And dying happy would probably be everyone's aspiration.
And why should we wait to bring this small little effort into life for long,let us start with it now.
Sweet dreams
Whenever I write I dont expect someone would come and appreciate me, since writing is my passion.But when someone appreciates me for my blog ,even in a very small way such as "I liked your blog".That small sentence would make that little moment in my life be called"this part of my life is called happYness". So I end this post with a small request if you really felt my blog made a difference in you please do tell me because it makes me feel so SPECIAL and I sincerely hope that my "THANK YOU" in return would tell you how much special you are for me.
And for this patient reading that you have done, you are already being blessed by my heart whereever and whoever you are
