seeing a small kid run with joy on seeing his mother...or for that matter any one he recognises, brings the question to one's mind....where did all d innocence go away?
he sees only how that person behaves with him...and nothing else...and then, on seeing that person, is driven by a joy beyond explaination...maybe jus a neighbour who plays with him once in a while...or an uncle that brings chocolates to him each time on meeting him....such unmasked happiness....no hidden motives....jus purely, you-make-me-happy-i-will-smile-at-you-each-time-i-see-you...
wish all this didn't go away in our formative years...no biases creaping in....no pre-conceived notions...no "acting" happy...no "sucking-up"...no giving love out of fear...nothing to affect our opinion on the matter, but d simple actions of the person in front of us....
which also brought another question to mind....how do we remember how it feels to do something for the first time?
d first time u speak....d first time u hear...the first time you can make a complete sentence....the first time u talk.....the first time u run....the first time you make a friend....the first time u score a perfect 10...the first kiss....the first hug....the first fight...the first job...first day in college...your first bike....the first time a girl looked at you, and ur eyes met...the first time ur sister looked up at you with admiration, and you noticed...the first time you helped an elder with some seemingly mundane task, and were looked at with an unmatched feeling of gratitude...the first time you planted a sapling...
no matter how many times u repeat these actions...no matter how well you do them, nothing can compare to the magic of that first time....
makes me wish i could go back , and start doing all those things for the first time....and there are still those first times that keep coming....the first smell of water on soil...the first rains of a season....the first ice cream in summers....the first drive in the rains, letting small droplets accumulate on ur hand stretched outside the car...the first time u r completely drenched in the rains...hmmm...interesting how many of these things are related to the rainy season...maybe cuz right now, m longing for ANY respite from this killing heat!!!! :P
well, as abruptly as it started, another post comes to an end...
ciao bloggers....
NjoY LyF! :D
