It's one of those days, simply ecstatic. There's so much joy, the moment has been beautiful..so much fun. I don't know if I would be able to put it down. Its usually the thought behind the action, the unspoken words, or the hint behind the statement or sometimes the intended pun that makes all the difference. And there are people who do it in a subtle way, and unless one is alert, It can simply skip and just pass away. And when in moment, in the moment of the simplicity , one just says what the heart feels. It is these moment, it is the truth in these moments, that holds a special place in all the moments that we experience in our lives.
It's not what has been said that holds the key, it is the faith with which it comes out, it is the trust that just makes a simple, selfless moment so beautiful. There's a slight twinkle in the eyes, a giggle of sorts, that tells you more about how it had been. And it is at this moment, you exactly feel the way it has been. There's a certain kind of joy in listening to these special moments, and feel privileged for the same. Countless moments like these makes one feel the simplicity that is still there intact , just as it was meant to be. Even with the complexities that hover around us, it is moments like these that bring smile and so much joy.
We have been having guests for a while at our end and on one such occasion I met a nice old gentleman,with a robust personality, having a wonderful smile. The ambiance was perfect for some soft music to be played in the background. So we put some nice old classic songs. Melodious " dil mein sama gaye sajan" , " khayalon mein kisi ke isi terah aaya nahi karte" or "unse pyaar ho gaya"...."do din ke liye mehman". It was a treat for the ears. I can simply go on and on. At the same time I was observing the rest in the room , all relaxed and enjoying the moment. Right beside me, I noticed the Old gentleman , with his eyes closed and deeply engrossed in the music that was playing. How wonderful he looked, relaxed and it made me think that I need to relax more and simply enjoy than worry about things happening around me at times.
Suddenly a song played, he simply turned around and said " aha! what a beautiful song, and I have had a wonderful moment related to this song". I looked a little quizzically , he smiled one more time...and said ' I cant share, with so many around...but it was a lovely moment". His smile remained intact throughout the song. He didn't have to mention, I knew, it must have been a magical moment with his childhood sweetheart. The heart still beats with the same fervor , as if the moment is right there and one is re-living the same moment again. A song triggering a wonderful moment as it was back then. The memories come gushing in , and one feels elated, contended and too happy. The feeling of that moment is breathtaking, nostalgic and one feels grateful for the fact that at-least it was a part of their life. Such is the beauty of these moments, which get treasured in our hearts forever.
Its there, all we have to do is just tune in to that station to get the moment again.
