Those sweet gestures that words cannot replace!

This is just a small incident that hapenned at work today..One of our colleagues got late for our regular lunch at the cafeteria. He was stuck explaining a complex issue to somebody. We all were very hungry and as it was almost nearing the closing time, we rushed without him .While we took our lunch and started about calming our roaring stomachs..one gal amongst us gets this idea to take lunch for this guy who might probably not arrive untill the counter closed! The expression on his face when he saw that we had taken it for him was so nice to see. He actually looked quite hungry. He ate real quick and i felt so good watching him eat. I was filled with warmth!

Sometimes I smile at strangers...may be we were just crossing a road together and thats reason enough for me to shell out a smile ..and it just gets better when the other person also smiles at the same time.
I think such small things can really make your day sometimes...Your favourite song on the radio suddenly on a dull morning can pep you up almost instantly...or may be just a phone call from a long forgottten friend wishing you a good birthday that was six months ago...may be you go home to find your clothes that you were refusing to touch for long time, all neatly done by your roomie when she was doing hers!

Such things thrill me so much..I feel elated!
Really, the world is still good enough to live in as long as you have such sweet and tiny instances that can make u feel good!

Ah! so much senti.. :) still, feel good that Meera pick up lunch for me. Love u guys..

And see, it wud have been lot less fun if I had read this after u told me... words sometimes kill the feeling.. once you express something out, U can't feel that emotion strongly.. it sort of takes away the warmth..

Somethings are better communicated with body language... sometimes I find this too a very obvious way of expressing feelings.. again sort of takes away the fun....

Feel lot better when I don't express anything and see people around me going nuts.. :)
