Too often we fail to understand or perhaps tend to underestimate the power of smallest of gestures.A touch,a smile,an honest compliment,a kind word,a listening ear,a simple message to let someone know that you care,remembering to wish someone at 12 midnight on his b'day or a simple sms to wish someone good luck for an exam and many more of such things might take only a minute from your life....but for someone else it might mean a lot of smiles for a long time.
Dropping by to ask your friend's grandma's health,giving your five year old cousin a colorful hand-made card,complementing him for a small drawing of the first mango he made and got a "good" from his teacher,presenting your mom a bouquet of flowers for no reason at all(even if they are a bunch of bougainvillea you picked from a nearby garden :D),giving a surprise gift to a dear friend or just cleaning your dad's car for him once in a while,will make these people very special and the look on their faces will make even You feel special !
In each one of us resides a kid,a little princess who wants to be spoilt,taken care of,being treated specially.All of us want to be "someone special" for our "someone specials".We want to be able to show our fondest dreams,our secret wishes to someone,to be able to murmur quietly in someone's ear and share a giggle,we want to be able to act stupid with someone,to have the freedom to just be ourselves,to be assured that we are understood and respected moreso and not misunderstood rather.
At times we even want to cry with someone....to have one and lend one shoulder to cry on,to be considered worthy enough to share someone's pain,to remember and be remembered in not just joys but more importantly(because it is all the more difficult) in sorrows.We want our slience ..more than words to be understood.We want to feel,see and show warmth through eyes,words and our touch.We can afford to live without something if we have somone to live for.All this requires a lot of courage and a lot of trust.Our little acts of care can give someone a reason to live,a reason to smile,a reason to hope,a reason to believe that life is worthwhile.A promise to a lonely & tired soul...that you'd be there for him no matter what,can give him enough courage to fight against all odds.But remember....make only those promises which you can keep,say only those words which you actually mean.Giving and then taking away hope from someone is a damage beyond repair !!!
Let me share with you an SMS that i got today morning which actually made me think about these small things.......
"Sometimes,smallest of things go straight 2 d heart ...
* A smile from a stranger when you are lost in a crowd.
* An old friend calling from a distant land just to say "I miss U".
* The touch of a mother's hand on your brow when you are unable to sleep.
* A message from a friend asking whats wrong when you thought no1 cud notice.
* A hand on your shoulder when it feels like d world is against you.
* An unexpected hug from a dearest friend when you are feeling low.
* The presence of someone who has the power to make you laugh when you dont even feel like smiling.
Sometimes it's d tiniest of things which make difficult times easy."
