Sometimes it's the little things......

.....that matter the most. This is a phrase we've all come across, be it in novels or lyrics to some love song. But never in my life did I try to ponder over it, was it sheer ignorance or was it lack of experience, I do not know.

Life's most beautiful moments don't always have to be grand. Most of them come in tiny packages. Insignificant things which sometimes leave you feeling funny inside, times when you're
smiling from side-to-side for no apparent reason.

Just as I was walking back home, I spotted this really adorable baby, on the opposite side of the street. Then again, all babies are adorable, but this one had twinkle in his eyes and let's not forget a very beautiful smile. He looked at me and smiled a smile I can never forget. And I don't know how he did it, but it felt like he injected some energy-producing hormone into me. The whole evening went by, with no excitement, but I was happy.

Walking alone and smiling, I bet the people who saw me thought I was a loon. Too lost in appreciating God's creations, it took me a while to register that my phone was ringing. A call from some random number, I answered nonetheless. It was a call from my friend from eighth grade! Back in eighth grade we used to be really good buddies, but something happened and she left the school. No phone calls, no emails, no messages- for two years, two long years of silence.
And then she calls when I'm least expecting her to! I could not believe it was her on the other side of the phone- still the bubbly lil girl from eighth grade. Woah! Life's sure unpredictable..

Later in the evening, a friend suggested that we should all go to this temple nearby. A Christian friend, might I add? So we, a group of four people- Sikh, Muslim, Christian and Hindu reached the temple. And something happened between us, we all just stood there silently and prayed. And we felt closer than before. And even though nothing was said between us, it was all very clear, that we all prayed for us to stay together, forever and ever....

Since the whole post revolves around the word 'little', I do not wish this post to be any longer.
All I'd say to sum it all up is, take time to realize all that we've been blessed with, appreciate His creations and most of all appreciate and cherish these little moments....for they are what matter the most...

Keep smiling :)!
