THE SMILE…………….
One fine night went to sleep at the usual time but could not sleep as it was raining outside and the child in me wanted to play in the rain but could not go out as it was too dark to step out. The empty roads, the drizzle visible because of the light rays of the street light, the gentle breeze and the wet leaves dancing to the tunes of the breeze made a spectacular joyous moment. It filled my heart with happiness. I sat at the window enjoying the scenario, didn’t feel like sleeping as I would miss the beautiful moments with the nature if I slept. Wanted the moment to stay for ever, didn’t want the sun to rise, wanted the dawn to wait till I could enjoy those moments unto satisfaction but as the nature brings this beauty to me even reminds me that the day has to rise and work to begin. Suddenly I felt as if I was sitting on a sea shore, the same drizzle, and the silent tides that brought the sea waters along with them cleansed my feet and returned back to the sea. The feeling of a soft touch by the water brought a smile on my face. Never felt a need for a second person between me and the nature. Nature always has something new to present and that feeling brings joy and happiness. I was sitting there alone at the shore enjoying the beauty. Then I saw a person walking towards me wearing a sweet smile. He spoke to me so gently that the words fell on my ear as music. I sat there listening him speak as his voice was as soothing as that of a koel. We walked along the shore, that person knew so much about me but I knew nothing about that person. I didn’t even bother to know about that person, was walking along with that person listening to his musical voice and felt so connected to that person. The words spoken by that person taught me the way of life. Suddenly that person was out of sight. Searched for that person every where near the place but in vain. The other people there had not even seen that person. I sat there with a gloomy face thinking who the person was and repenting on my foolishness that I didn't even try to know the identity of that person. Suddenly I heard some one calling out my name, was elated thinking that the person was back but it was my mother who was trying to wake me up as I was getting late for work. Never realized when I fell asleep but it was just a dream. Each and every moment of that dream was afresh in my mind, how much I tried but could not forget it. The whole day I could not concentrate on work, but was thinking who the person was who was so kind to me, could not recollect the looks of that person but for the smile. All my efforts to recollect about that person went in vain. When ever I think about that person only his smile resurfaces, just the words and the beautiful smile- the smile that could vanish the sadness of the others. Smile nothing but smile still stays afresh in my memory..
