JUST THE LITTLE THINGS

As a kid – “Tu mera best friend hai” was no less than being bestowed a Knighthood

When you reach home after being slapped by your teacher for not doing homework and find hot jalebis made by your mom- it is the cure

When after fighting with your friend you say, sorry yaar mistake ho gaya-Even if its not your fault, both of you cry in each others arms

When in class your teacher says- You had the best answer, and it jumps in your stomach

When someone you care ignores you and then all of a sudden books first day first show tickets for just the two of you and says- Tere saath hi movie acchi lagti hai

When no one else notices but that one person does, that you may not be feeling well and need rest- Ja naa, aur kitni baat karni hai tujhe

When a friend goes for a trip and calls, while you brood about balance running out- Arey teri baton se pyaari thodi hi hai roaming

When you slip off the stairs and instead of picking you, first they choose to have a hearty laugh and then say- dekho to marr mura to ni gaya

When its important to discuss an event in an important seminar no matter what- “Shilpa shetty kahan yaar, ab to Deepika Padukone… shhh”

When you haven’t been talking for a while, but make sure your friend made it to lunch because it’s his favourite thing there- “Arey Bunty ko lunch pe le ja, aaj gulab jamun hai na”

Little things you do, just the little things, which can only be felt and not told, they make life wonderful. Happiness cannot be counted, nor measured in terms of wealth.

God has made all the materialistic stuffs which we can see, but emotions and sentiments can only be felt. Its an art, which you learn and the approach is different to every being.

The little things we to to bring smile on the face of someone we care, the enormity of the little gestures we make. It’s fabulous how you make someone feel good by just the least you could do. A lonely elderly person may miss his late wife, few sweet words or just company for 5 minutes may give a smile to him.

Your little sister comes to you and says every bit of things which happened at school- Why not, you are the first friend which she had ever since she came into this world, lend your ears to her- the least you can do

A kid who doesn’t like school becase he doesn’t understand a thing there, a game of hide and seek sets him back to his innocent world where he understands just one thing- Love

A teenage plump girl who is mad at everything because she was made fun of, just say, “”you look pretty today” and there we see the little smile on her face

Our mommy who is tired working whole day, hug her and she forgets what she was brooding about- Her world is all about you, how can she be upset for long

When your girlfriend did not get to talk to you and may be sending cranky texts- Call her and say,“Are you somewhere around my office? Because all the ladies her look like you today… Is it you everywhere or just that you are being missed?” There comes the giggle which sends a backflip in your stomach

It doesn’t take much, not even a little. Take a moment out of your schedule to think about your dear ones. Life is a lonely journey without them, you may not realize but ignoring them may leave you alone in a cold and dark path. Commitment is a requirement but being too commited to your work would ruin the best moments in life. We live moments, and every moment is magic, not because it has to be, but because we all together make the moment magical.

It’s just the little things, just the little things…

ILLEGAL GODS

il·le·gal/iˈlēgəl/

Adjective:	Contrary to or forbidden by law, esp. criminal law: "illegal drugs".
Noun:	An illegal immigrant.

God is one; desireless; colourless; nameless; deathless; He is the Truth, consciousness and bliss; the ultimate destination; all pervasive and cosmic’

Yes, someone was warned this was coming.No, I don’t always revolve around GOD, nor is this post about Theism, Belief or Spirituality.One question which has influenced me in quite an abstract manner is-What has the largest brand loyalty?Now googling, knowing, saying and shouting out the answer on the screen later, you would want to know what answer I have.

”GOD”

 It’s interesting to note, and yes it may seem obvious now, but that had really amazed me when I felt- “I never thought of this!” Everyone believes, almost everyone, that there is a power which rules and controls us all. That may be a hope in sad times, a graceful moment in happier times or a support in tough times. Somewhere you may all have believed in the word God. Do you get a number for the followers?But the logic of this post is, what things in our lives have illegally been ruling and controlling us like Gods? They aren’t supposed to, they are not desirable, but we want it and we need it. Few things which I have seen very closely and would like to talk about. 

1.      SMOKING- Now half of the people who smoke and were reading my post are already gone for another fag right away. Other half would detest me for speaking this. But seriously, its ruling you. Any smoker would, at one point of time try to quit- tortured by the feeling of being controlled. Some would rather be cool with it always and love it- Die hard loyalist they are.

But if I had to support my assertion with facts, 7 billion people are on this planet and 1.3 billion are smokers, the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) and the World Lung Foundation (WLF) told the 38th Union World Conference on Lung Health.Did not change the font because I wish to convey it is copy pasted from a trusted source. Numbers don’t lie.It’s not anti-smoking thing, it’s just something which highlights the gravity of one habit which is a common story in every other household. Is it that bad? Has a fag become God for you? If you wish to quit does your loyalty lynch you to resume? Try and think.Illegal God no. 1 huh? (can’t help but this sarcastic smile on my face is here to stay)

 2.      GOSSIP- If you ask me, yes Gossip is another big brand which everyone follows. Quite abstract and unrelated it is to the previous topic. But everyone has been there, done that.
The moment someone says those random people were gossiping about me- BITCH! You are already doing it right away!!!!!!
My mother said, never talk ill about someone behind him. Well everyones mum must have said this. We all do it ! we all have done that!Point is, is it tough to give up? One never thinks this way, never is our little talk about something a gossip. Rather a healthy gossip is always desirable to keep the Grapevine alive. :DIs gossip your Illegal God no. 2 ? It definitely is for me. 

3.      NAIL BITING – Yes if you are reading it then this part is dedicated to you Akash Kumar singh! Nail biting is almost your God! Jokes apart, try to quit this people! Nails can make your fingers look good and full. And this habit isn’t healthy for your teeth also. No. 3 on my list is Nail Biting. Whether after this someone would kill me, but this is a habit hard to give up. All my support to win this unnoticed addiction. Kudos to those who have already quit! :D

4.      CUSSING- !@#$^^%$%^&**(*&^$#@!
Tough is it? Naaaah! But everyone does that! We are all here to admit we have done this at least once in our life. It’s very much in, it’s important for life.  Every frustrated moment is accompanied by it.


 I felt so I conveyed, this whole thing means a lot. One should never give up to something which is overpowering oneself. When we cannot help doing something, its definitely a part of us, but if wish to stop it, its definitely something which is illegally a part of us. Be the change you want to be in ur life. List at least 5 Illegal Gods of your life once in a while and try to keep a watch. Not tough but yes! You don’t want it in you in any case! Nothing in this world has the right to rule us against our wish. Like its said, All the loyalists believe, God did not send us to be slaves, He has sent us to be the change, we all are sent with a purpose. This purpose is definitely not to succumb to our bad habits.Duh?! Huh….. :P :/ :D
