Shine with smile

For the past few days my time is just flowing from my hands like the slippery sand and I’m unable to keep my hands wet so that I can catch hold of some. Life has become somewhat stressful, as of work load and many other things….
Saturday evening, I got a bit time so I opted for gardening, this is a new hobby I’ve adopted. I was cleaning my garden and was planting some new saplings. My hands were all in mud, suddenly a small young girl was passing with her mom on the nearby lane and she pointed me and said, “Ye kya kar rhe hai?” and mom explained her that I was not playing with mud and was planting a new plant, and then that kid said, “ Par inke haath gande ho jayenge?”
She looked at me innocently and there was a genuine smile, and after listening to her innocent words and looking at her I couldn’t resist smiling back… It was the moment I realized, I haven’t smiled for so long… How’s that possible, we all do smile during the whole passing day but do we ever realize that most of the times that those smiles encountered are virtually all ‘PLASTIC’ smiles.
We all have gone so busy and so engrossed and stressed in our work, career and personal lives that we don’t even enjoy those small passing by moments… May be those small moments are not there but we need search for them, apart from our usual work we do need to take some time out for ourselves… Build those minutes which leaves your day with a smile and you might have constructed many than just remem
ber them and just smile…
