Smiles :)

I have been meeting quite a few people these days. I am fond of meeting new people and I always enjoy these experiences. I just try to think what impresses me most when I meet a person. And I immediately get the answer, its their smile :)

I have seen many smiles till date. The real ones, which come from the bottom of someone's heart, some are fake which try to cover up the real feelings, some are very genuine, some are very innocent, some are really infectious, some are enthusiastic, some are wicked, some are trustworthy, some are flirtatious, some are playful.

I met a lovely lady some days back. She must be approximately that of my mothers age. She was dressed in a simple saree. She was very beautiful for her age having flawless complexion. But the thing I distinctly remember about her is her lovely and warm smile.It was a reflection of her warm and pure heart. It created a positive vibe between us. The purpose for which we had met could have really created some awkward moments between us.But we could really have a meaningful conversation after it. And of course, the credit goes to her smile.

Another smile I remember is that of my little cousin. She is the naughtiest person around and the youngest one too.Each time  I ask her to give me a hug, she just gives me an innocent smile and runs away.Her naughty smile can make my day!

The one which I can never forget is that of my grandfather just the day before his sad demise. The smile had a sense of calm and satisfaction to it. He probably knew what was stored in future.

I have a friend whose eyes twinkle when she smiles. The joy she feels lights up her face. I could feel her joy on her wedding day, though her eyes were not twinkling that day. The others I remember are that on the farewell day of my friends,knowing that we won't meet so soon. Driving 15 kms in the hot sun was worth it for that smile. I also remember the one, which my visa interviewer gave me after rejecting my Visa. Her pretty smile surely had the pain that she felt after rejecting my Visa.

Today my colleague cum friend winked and smiled at me while she was counting the number of people in our team. I knew she had something in mind. Her smile told me everything.

When I try to remember my own, I distinctly remember the one which I had after meeting my cousin on Bombay airport. We were just six years old then. But I still remember the curiosity I had about her and of course the smile I had when she came running to hug me. Another ones that make me nostalgic are I had when I held my new born brother in my arms, when I first drove a car, when I got praised for my Pavbhaji which I had cooked for the first time, when I get praised by my manager, when I got my first pay check and the list goes on.

No doubt I adore anyone's smile more than anything else. They can transform a saddest moment into the happiest one. They can turn hatred into love. They bring the sense of positivity. A smile brings a sense of freshness and enthusiasm in the atmosphere. So I end this blog post with a big naughty smile, thinking of  the mischief I have in mind right now :)
